Ummmm . . . . yeah.

Maybe we should turn this thread into a look at the worst products ever invented?

My first reaction was No S***! They should use the second product shown, the Get-A-Grip and do just that. Now what idiotic thing can I invent and sell??

:cool:

This is a joke, right?

It seems like a SNL skit to me. Kind of like "oops, I crapped my pants."

Ewwww.

Really, those are assistive devices that are being mass marketed. The upside is that for anyone who really needs that device, $20 is a great price. Any of these sorts of devices from a medical store would be exactly the same and cost three or four times the price. It is pretty humorous to see this sort of thing marketed like this, but that's actually a benefit to the people who need them.

About a year ago my grandma took a pretty bad spill. She was in the hospital for a while and then in rehab (no, not that kind), and then needed one of those lift chairs. They had a big variety at the medical stores. But they also had a few at our local giant furniture dealer who advertises too much. Less than half the price.

... And I'm sure there are countries you can do it very cheaply... :mrgreen:

Who needs an extra 18" of reach to wipe their a**???

There are a lot of really fat people with short arms.
