Are all your friends laughing behind your back about your “ridiculous” invention or idea? Is yourbusiness idea so off the wall that your own friends and family won’t brag about it to their friends? Don’t get discouraged; you’re not alone. Here are 10 ridiculous products that made it to market and made money.
If a dog really needed goggles to peep out of the window or car, wouldn’t just about every dog in the world would be unable to see by now? What’s next, dog wigs? Actually, that was also invented some time ago. Unnecessary inventions if you ask me.
It sounds like a gag gift, but the Better Marriage Blanket is meant to keep you from gagging – if you’re on the receiving end of the silent-but-deadly problem it’s designed to combat – your bedmate’s flatulence. Here’s the problem though: just because you can’t smell the gas, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Wouldn’t you rather just give your lover some Gas-X?
The most ridiculous invention of all time might just be the Pet Rock. It isn’t even an invention. It’s a rock that comes in a box. Yet this business idea reportedly made $15 million in its first six months. The brainchild of Gary Dahl, your pet rock came with a booklet to teach it how to sit and stay. Its carrying box came with breathing holes to make sure your rock got enough air. (Note: I had one growing up. I cried when my mom told me it ran away. Hey! Wait a minute.)
Finally, your dog can look like Bob Marley or Shirley Temple. Go to your local costume store and you both can look like Bob Marley or Shirley Temple. It’s either really cute, or really weird, depending on which way you look at it.
The antenna ball isn’t just a weird decoration; it also permanently bends your car’s antenna. These popular balls “class up” any car, from a junker to brand new wheels.
