30 People Who Proved There Is A Very Fine Line Between Genius And Insanity

No one likes to put down the ideas of others! However, there are some ideas that people come up with which leave us scratching our heads vigorously.

With this in mind, from people who thought that they had reinvented the burger to individuals who made the most abhorrent jewellery imaginable, here are 20 people who proved there is a very fine line between genius and insanity!

"I can't work out what's worse: Having the idea and then making them or actually wanting to buy them?"

The fact that it is called "genuine imitation cat poop" is still kind of vague as to what these earrings are made of.

This Realistic Amazon Cake...

I think that it would be even more accurate if it had been bashed around a load and then when you cut into it there was a tonne of empty space with the actual cake only taking up a fraction of the box.

"Shrek Car..."

Would this not technically be called a Shruck? If there is anything that is going to give the local kids nightmares then it is this horrific Shruck. The word Shruck is also massively unpleasant to say, like the word moist.

"Crocodile bread in a bakery in Vietnam."

Amazingly, another person noted:

"Crocodile Bread is important in Betawi's marriage ceremony because they want all the good qualities of crocodiles to seep into the marriage.

"Like, crocodiles have only one mate (signifies monogamy), they're patient enough to wait for their prey & partner (signifies dedication), they can live on land and water which means the married couple will be able to survive in adverse conditions during bad times. I'm sure crocodiles have more good qualities (from the perspective of humans)."

"What the hell?! Found this in target. Made me laugh."

These are pretty good, but I actually prefer the blindfold method. That way you don't have to deal with a single thing around you, not one! It's the ultimate cop out.

"I'm curious but also terrified."

By God, I need to try these. This feels like a flavor of Candy Corn that I can finally get on board with. Do you eat it like cereal, floating in a bowl of gravy instead of milk?

"World's Most Unnecessary Card Game."

"Hey, did you bring the rock, paper, scissors card game for the journey?"

"Damn, I forgot, looks like we won't be able to play it."

"I mean...we could play it with our hands?"

"I'm going to pretend like you didn't just say that David."

"Baguette Vending Machine. Spotted while walking in France. Sadly, no cheese and wine ones close by, so we carried on walking."

I wonder how often they change the baguettes in there. I hope that it is frequently, otherwise these will just be used as makeshift hammers for nearby workmen.

"Dr. Pepper Baked Beans."

"This new Dr Pepper is the worst drink that I have had for years, and it's awful thick."

"Dave...that is just a tin of beans flavored with Dr Pepper, it's not a drink."

"It's not a drink?"

"Do you not know what beans are, Dave?"

"Beans? What are you talking about!?"

"Rental ladders for Fluminense supporters watch the team at their training grounds."

Surely people could just bring their own ladders from home instead of having to rent a ladder out? Although, who wants to be lugging a ladder around with them all day?

"A portable toilet seat that attaches to your car tire for pooping on the go!"

One astute person did notice a flaw with this product, explaining, "Would suck having to clean it off the floor of your garage after though."

"America, in one product..."

I think that people wanting somewhere to store their dip in their car is a pretty universal problem actually! Also, if you turn on the heater while you have this clipped in then you could warm up your dip.

"My stomach hurt thinking of what they'd taste like."

Even though I had Dr Pepper at the best of times, I would still rather drink a tin of cold Dr Pepper Baked Beans than this abomination.

"This holder for my Oreos."

I can imagine that everyone who sees this will be frantically looking for someone with a 3D printer to fashion one of these. You could do ones that are different sizes for different biscuits as well!

"Coffee flavored liqueur flavored coffee."

If The Dude were to be buying coffee then this would be the coffee that he would surely buy. I think that I might actually be tempted to try this, it's probably quite sweet, right?

"I need this lazy Susan fridge!"

The only problem with this would be where you would store your large pizza boxes, what with them being square and all. Maybe it is time for the world to embrace circular pizza boxes!

"In today's episode of 'why does this exist?'"

Well I suppose that changing the strings on your air guitar is a much better alternative to having to buy a whole new air guitar every time you snap a single string!

"New house has a drawer that goes around the sink."

This is a much better option than simply having a fake drawer around your sink, whose only purpose is to make it look as though there is a drawer there...christ fake drawers annoy me.

"Alcohol-flavored cheese.. Why?"

Everyone knows that wine and cheese go together, but wine-flavored cheese? Yuck, no thank you. I'm sure someone thought this idea was totally genius but the rest of us know how gross it is.

"Goes perfectly with my ketchup conditioner."

You know, I don't think people want to think about food when they're washing their hair. Once again, we have an example of some overly creative marketing that the rest of us are just going to raise our eyebrows at. For what it's worth, this product is not meant to be eaten!

"Fruit pie candle? Smells like artificial apples and sugar."

See, in theory, this sounds like a good idea. Who doesn't love the smell of freshly baked pies, right? Well, the thing is that a cheap candle is going to smell like a cheap candle no matter what. Avoid this one if you ever come across it.

"A Rubik’s cube that can never be wrong."

I wonder how many people got sucker-punched after gifting their friend this "idiot cube". People don't like it when you insult their looks or their intelligence, so maybe don't buy this gift unless you know the recipient has a really good sense of humor.

This DIY Trailer

I don't know what's worse: the fact that this DIY trailer exists or that the person who created it is trying to sell it. Yeah, this is one purchase that I would steer clear of (pun intended).

This is exactly what it looks like.

If you saw these and thought, "Hey, those look like toilet paper made from fabric," you would be 100% correct. For those who want to make their lifestyles a little more eco-friendly, this is awesome. For the rest of us, I think we'll just stick to recycling and whatnot.

Speaking of poop...

When it comes to certain items, they really don't need any bells or whistles to sell them. Toilet plungers are one of those items. Just keep it plain and simple. The last thing anyone wants is seeing a smiling little poop as the toilet starts to overflow.

Who would actually buy this?

Someone discovered this rubber band ball in Target and I just have so many questions. Is there a lot of demand for this product? Do people actually buy them? Do they not know that they could make their own for a few pennies. So many questions...

Remember mood rings?

Let's travel back to the '90s for a moment when mood rings were all the rage. Now, as we all know, those rings weren't really reading your mood — they were just reacting to your body's temperature. Someone took that material and used it for a toilet seat and, well, this is the result. Ewwww....

"Mr T(ea) Set."

Of all the items on this list, this is probably the only one I would actually consider buying. C'mon, it is pretty cool and much better than the frilly florals you usually see on tea sets. Plus, I love a good tea pun.

"Duck tape paint job..."

From a distance I thought that they had tried to make this car look like a clownfish. Perhaps the peeling tape is meant to look like scales as well? I don't think they took that into consideration actually.

"Oh my...they're so blue."

I would love to meet the person who decided that making a burger which appears to be off would be a good idea. Anyone who buys this should be sent for a psych evaluation.
