Shopaholics Beware: The 5 Weirdest Online Products

These products are entirely useless, but they may be of value to someone, somewhere, somehow.

In the age Online shopping, shopaholics are having more trouble keeping their addiction under control. The Internet provides another whole new playground for their addiction to grow. Husbands, take your credit cards back or you might end up with one of these as your next birthday present. Well, at least it isn’t another tie…

BongMe

This company offers drinking products for parties, and crazy stuff like helmets for beer cans, or the “Bottle bong can” that makes drinking a bottle of beer much easier and much faster. Strange products, take a look!

iLove

The magazine ilove is the first magazine sold in a bottle, yes, in a bottle!

Instead of going to buy the magazine in a book shop, you have to go to the supermarket and buy the ilove bottle. To read it you only have to peel back the label and then enjoy the 32-page pocket-sized women magazine while you drink the refreshing Australian water.

eggling

The idea of this Japanese product is not to raise chickens from an egg but to grow a plant from inside an egg. Confused? The main idea is focused in three basic steps: cracking the ceramic egg, then watering it, adding a little bit of sun and there you have you a nice plant. It comes in a variety of designs and plants, nice!

nothinginthebox

This website is quite well-known by some people because it has appeared in the news, but for those who don’t know it, here it is with a short description: these people sell NOTHING, yes, nothing for $9.95. It sounds kinda weird, and it IS weird, but they have great debates on the webpage that make you wonder whether you want to buy it for yourself or give it as a present to someone who has everything.

And finally…

Reserve A Spot in Heaven

Reserve a spot in heaven is an excellent website, with the ironic purpose of selling passports directly to heaven before it’s too late. The ticket comes with some advantages and privileges according to the travel kit you choose. The documentation for your demurrage in heaven and all the VIP passes are included.

You can also check out Reserve a Spot in Hell for those who would like to try hell, or you can send the passports directly to someone you dislike.

    Tell me,
    Does the nothinginthebox come in more than 1 size? I want to get one for some of my friends, but it isn’t nice to get exactly the same thing. Maybe different styles, colors, flavors…
    What?

  2. binux Says:

    I think it comes in only one style, because it is NOTHING buy send them an email and ask them.
    Thanks

    The ‘nothing’ comes in an email format, they email you with nothing for $9.95 or a box of nothing via fedex: $29.95

    Oh man, I can’t choose… Heaven or Hell?

    Hmm… I’ll buy a ticket to both. I’m sure I can hawk off the one I don’t want on Judgment day.

  5. Katri Antioch Says:

    The sad part is, I actually think I’d buy the first thing.
