In your opinion, what's one of the shittest (if not the shittest) product ever?

[Dags90]

.. .. Man has it been that long? Jeez, I didn't know they existed beforehand. Now I feel pretty dumb haha thanks for informing me. I still consider the toy to be very useless/unreasonable to exist. I even bet toddlers get tired of it easily, it's just so plain in every way.

Toddlers are challenged and entertained by placing the correct shaped blocks into the appropriate openings. Heck, we even derive a popular expression from these standard baby toys, "square peg round hole".

Have you never played with a toddler? They're not very bright.

My vote goes to particular laptop safe that was given to me which came with a lock installed in it and no given combination or even instructions on how to assemble it.

 

[Dags90]

.. .. Yeah, see.. that's the thing. When I was a little toddler myself, I didn't get these sorts of toys. Not the one you informed me on, or this one. I didn't have these types of toys. Mine would be simple stuffed animals or some sort of book that had those 'safe' covers on them. Even when I was a kid, my toys remained the same but leveled to my maturity.

So I pretty much missed out on these inventions. Mm.

Wow. Sorry about your deprived childhood.

How about games like Jenga or Ker-Plunk?

Spoiler: For reference, Ker-Plunk

You should also be the right age to remember the Skip It resurgence.

DVD rewinder for the win~

This is for shit products, remember?

Norton. Fucking. Antivirus.

It's the bane of my existence, i've lost count of how many times i've had to remove that piece of shit from people's computers because it was doing more damage than it was preventing and how many hours i've spent repairing the damage it's caused. *RAGE*

Shake Weight.

Spoiler: I think the real adverts are better.

The product isn't actually a bad idea, in fact I think it may actually work rather well, it's just most people don't want to toss off a weight to get fit.

One Word:

Prototype.

Ninja'd by Snuggie and autotune microphone.

So, I'll go with Wuggle Pets, Fushigi, and more than half the stuff on http://www.asseenontv.com/

'facepalm'

Well you can't get a shittier product than this

Transformers were hugely popular and spawned several rip-offs. After searching for months, I have found the worst.

Convertors.

They are like Transformers, but crap. They turn into many whopping things, like Slot machines! And Hair Dryers!

http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/02/the_10_worst_transformers_rip-offs.php

Number 8 on the list. They even look like crap in their robot form.

Oh yeah, and don't come near me with a Beats on your head...

Spoiler: ...'cause I'll blast you away with one of these...

That picture... it's like the Justice League of Cartoons. And that is awesome.

Personally, I think the overpriced HDMI cables you can get are some of the worst products out there. Back in the analogue age, using high-quality cables may have preserved audio/picture quality just a smidgen, but digital signals can be sent down any old connection and be fine. That's one of the main reasons for using digital. Monster cables and their ilk can suck it as far as I'm concerned, because they're charging premium prices for something that is no better than an off-the-shelf equivalent.

PlayStation Move, that is a sad clone of a wii(ha) that has no good games.

windows 98' laptop and the solar powered flash light. I was fiddling with the screensaver with the laptop and it crashed! the freaking screensaver! good thing I got it for like fifteen bucks at a garage sale.

Decaffeinated coffee.
Seriously, decaf coffee not only fails it's objective, but in my opinion tastes terrible.

The same can be said for decaf root beer. It tastes like regular cola, if I wanted a cola I'd have gotten a cola.

Rewinding machines. Okay, if for some reason your vcr doesn't have a rewinder built in then there's something wrong with you.

Wii fit can't believe I spent 80$ on a Weight tracker.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I got one that beats the shittiness of the Snuggie. The Forever Lazy. It's a... well, I'll let the parody of the commercial explain it. I post the parody because it actually tells the truth about the product.
