Dumb Pointless Products

[WIS]

You know what another one is? Black toilet paper.

I heard someplace in Europe, I forgot where, they were making these. They're coming out to the US in early 2006 or something.

yesterday I saw a car with "windshield wipers" on the lights. I had never seen this before, and honestly, I'm not sure I understand the use...I mean, the heat of the lights should take care of melting any snow that hits when driving right?

Clearly, you don't live in Montana.

Snow aside, even on highways (not to mention unpaved roads, which really do exist some places without resorting to driving through the forest) there can be enough dust and dirt building up that it effectively dims the lights.

I grew up on unpaved roads. Never had that much of a problem with my headlights dimming from the dust, but I probably just never noticed since they liked to randomly stop working on my cruddy old car anyway. ^_- There's nothing like that occurring when you're in the middle of nowhere when driving home from watching a scary movie.

Personally, I rather think DVD players in vehicles are a bit pointless, but I tend to think people spend too much time in front of the tv anyway (myself included). Plus, the ones that aren't actually built in can become dangerous projectiles not just during crashes, but also when maneuvering to avoid a crash.

what's wrong with milk in a bag? makes more sence than a card board carton that gets all soggy after the first 3 or 4 pours. Plus you get more milk (4L vs the 2L carton).

Don't get me started on the 4L JUGS of milk... someone decided that would be smart to put out on tables at the camp I work with.

4L JUGS of milk... 7 yr olds. Didn't go so well... lets just say it takes a LOT of napkins to mop up 4 L of milk.

I like my milk in plastic bottles.

I liked drinking my milk from cardboard cartons with a small thin blue straw when I was at school. I think most UK people will be able to relate to this

Orange juice, man, orange.

I hated that, in winter up here they were always frozen solid and for some inexplicable reason it tasted like soap then :S The primary school I went to before though, we got glass bottles with foil caps and a straw, and it was all creamy at the top.... yum

[Inexistence]

Ew ew ew, I have always hated the little cartons of milk we got at primary school, they forced us to drink it you know. Yuck.

[Charisma]

I always had the chocolate milk ones, probably why I was so fat during my school years. I didn't know that the cartons became soggy .

I didn't like milk in a bag, either. When I was in kindergarten, we had those for "snack time" or whatever we had. Do you know how hard it was to stick a straw into a plastic bag full of milk? At least one person's milk bag exploded all over them every day. Not a very good idea to give a 5 year old a bag of milk and a straw to poke into it. We have those cartons of milk now, but I usually get iced tea or lemonade for lunch, which comes in plastic bottles. My sister (who is much older than me) and I were talking one night and she said when she was in the grade I am in now, they still had the milks that came in the bags, and they actually had an assembly on how to put the straw into the bag so it wouldn't leak. XD She said if you tilted the straw a certain way, you could squirt it at people.

Those square watermelons that cost thousands of dollars. Oh, and the Swiffer wetjet. When you use it on your floors, it kills your pets because they walk on it, lick their paws, and die of the antifreeze in it.

Dull knives.

But they need to invent...

Water in a can.
