What Is The Most Pointless Gadget In The World?

[Odude]

Powdered Water! Just add.... err..

Reference Cookie on offer!

Damn! I was gonna say dehydrated water. It's a real product too... I've seen the adds.

 

[Simalacrum]

a solar powered spoon? I dunno... oh, I remember now!

a (realistic!) fake cat paw.

 

[Randomologist]

The Electronic Stapler.

Spoiler

What, it's too hard for you to clench your hand? A child could do it.

 

[ace_of_something]

WTF Blankets.

...I mean, Snuggies.

is that considered a gadget?

It's an invention at least. I like the knockoff called Slankets... because that sounds dirty.

 

[iron codpiece]

The Wii.

Ohhhh, I said it! Now what?

 

[Dalamard]

Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace Pen!

Use a pencil.

 

[reallydeadkid]

i htink the most point less gadget is the DVD rewinder

 

[dwightsteel]

No one has mentioned the Iphone yet

Thats because it's tough to contend that the iPhone is pointless seeing as it can do just about anything.

rechargeable batteries, after a while they need to recharge every 20 mins

Most rechargeable batteries use Li-ion and can endure at least 1000 charges before perfomance has dropped to 80%. Also in you regular *name portable electronics device with inbuilt batteries* you'll find a rechargeable battery.

In short: No rechargeable batteries = No laptops, mobile phones, mp3 players, etc.

On topic:
I nominate rube goldberg machines.

The most pointless gadget is the one you are currently using

 

[Foolishman1776]

Gaming Consoles (yeah, I went there).

 

[leviathanmisha]

Anything that Billy Mays didn't approve of...or anything that could be blended in a blend-tec blender.

Pie, to the person who knows what I'm talking about.

The magnescribe. It's a stupid looking pendant with a digital clock for christ knows what reason, that comes with a pen that magnetically attaches to it.




Apparently, sticking shit together with magnets is revolutionary and "patented magnetic engineering physics" is the new term for "a spring".

Those kids at 0:43 must get bullied.

Wow, this is why I use a pencil. I hate when I somehow manage to get pen ink on me.

 

[ClaptonKnophlerHendrix]

My god does that actually exist? That is the most retarded thing I've heard since I called the walrus hotline. *Yes I acknowledge yahtzee for that pun.*

 

[Pinstar]

Not sure if this counts, both because it isn't technically a gadget or technically real, but the "Spill" coffee mug of Pinkie and the Brain origin.

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

Ummm, Canned Bottled Water?

And because I have trouble using my keyboard, let alone working out how to insert images into posts, enjoy this link to the Giant Swiss Army Knife.

Well, it's not actually hard to believe that they would find this amusing.

 

[SomeUnregPunk]

Sporks.

The spork can not be used in soups because it leaks.
The spork can be used to pick up food like a fork because it's prongs are too short and curve with the spoon shape of the spork.

I agree that the Spork is the most pointless gadget made in the world.

 

[Samuel Adams]

But almost anything here: [http://www.thinkgeek.com/] Including their solar powered flashlights

Lol a shirt with a speaker in.

That is possibly the coolest thing ever. I'm getting one just for shits and giggles.

My friend had one of those, they're awesome =D but his mom broke the speaker before he could even replace the sounds with Darth Vader quotes =P

Now that Billy Mays is dead I feel bad about anything I was going to post here.
