   Or basically, the stuff someone felt needed inventing, even if no-one in their right mind would buy it.
   So, for starters. a couple of old classics.
   the electric paper plane launcher
   the dvd rewinder

   Today I saw the king of tat in Morrisons.Bing'd the link.
   Yes, the must have item for any home Remote control candles

   Any other tat need adding?

   That daft new Braun thingummy to allow you to cut your own hair.
   Clearly not suitable for use after a night in the pub, expect to see lots of people with scalp burn on one circular bald patch.

   Also, those 'Pedi-Egg' foot grater things. Why?
   I mean, yes I understand that hard skin on the foot can be both unsightly and uncomfortable, but is it necessary for the advert to show us the resultant Parmesan like shavings?

   That circular cutter thing put me off cos of it's price more than owt.
   £45 where I saw it.
   Got mesen a Wahl set for £20, nice bit of kit too, as you could see, if I had a web-cam, or put a new pic up, or was on faeces-book or similar.

   The foot shaver, never seen an ad with the shavings, but it can't be nice, like watching my (now late) sister bite her toe-nails. Pre R-A days, obviously.

   I believe toast racks are waterproof anyway.
   They do keep that bit quiet, though.
   If it says "dishwasher safe" it'll certainly be ok in the shower, if not bath.

    So, any of the above, besides the ones I posted links to actually exist?
    If so, linkies required, if not, forget your wish lists, what amazingly useless tat have you discovered you can buy, whish is actually what I wanted this to be about.
    Pointless guff, there to buy, that no-one could actually "hand on heart" say was essential to staying alive, living/ commuting.
