Stupid Things People Buy

I recently came up with an impulse buy item that Ole Blue The Heretic might be interested in.

Sell brain farts.
No wait, there are too many out there already.

I'm having one now.

Okay, so sleep has been sold; air has been sold; and water has been sold by the bottles full.

What else is there?

Anyone got any ideas of what other free and completely ridiculous items could be sold by the millions to the gullible?

Sand. No, really.

Tourist traps along the Texas coast (and I assume other coasts, as well) sell small vials or bottles of beach sand as souvenirs. At least, they say it's beach sand.

People have already sold dirt by the truckload, and animal feces...

Bodily fluids of all origins...

I saw an "ass kicking" auctioned off on ebay once...

Is there a way to bottle bad breath and sell it? Furthermore, what would the target market be?

Anyone remember Pet Rocks?

I would really like to meet the guy who sold a Board of Directers on that concept.

Bottled Water?

Do you realise that Evian is Naive spelled backwards? ;-)

Andrew - perhaps targeting those who miss their ex-partners.

Remember ol' stink breath, whats 'is name? (or whats 'er name)

Or, along with Andrews, selling dog breath. A keepsake to always remember your favourite pet.

Boy this could really turn into a good Top 10 list.

I can't help but think the breath would lose it's "uniqueness" after the bacteria died...it would just smell like rotting corpse, if you're into that kind of thing.

I used to think it would be unique to package and sell noise, but now "white noise generators" are quite a lucrative market...and that really wasn't the kind of noise I had originally conceptualized.

HEY...how about a CD or Podcast entitled "ex wife bitching" full of demeaning, loud and irrational female screaming, and you could market the thing to widowers and recent (unwilling) divorcees...

You could cross-sell them a universal remote that allowed them to "just turn it off" for the first time in their adult life...

Hmmm, wheels turning...

Lol, but don't forget to hone in on the female market by selling Shut That Cheatin' Bastard Of A Husband Up.

The cd would play the lies of a cheating hubby,"I had to work late" and "I don't know how that lipstick got on there", and the woman, wise to the crap, could just shut it off with the universal remote.

I know. Take a grilled cheese sandwich, put a face on it and sell it to some moron for twenty thousand dollars. How stupid is that?

Wait, that's been done.
