* The products are weird and somewhat useful
* From odor removers to hilarious kitchen hacks
* Plus some former Shark Tank favorites
The everyday meets the weird in these nine strange products right out of a game of “Three Things.” For those of you “millennials” who were busy optimizing yourselves and missed out on the suburban boredom of growing up, Three Things was a game where you picked a big store and tried to think up the three weirdest and/ or most embracing things to bring up to the cash register.
Amazon is, of course, way better for this, only you don’t get to imagine the look on the cashier’s face. Well, perhaps one day we’ll get snickering drones. Until then, here are nine of the weirdest, zaniest and surprisingly useful everyday products out there.
1. Nerdwax
Nerdwax sounds like it could be so many things. In this case, it’s a solution to keep your slightly oversized glasses from slipping off your face.
2. Squatty Potty
As seen on Shark Tank, this is a footstool for making stool. It purports to improve your toilet posture and help you poo smoothly. It also has one of the zaniest infographics on all of Amazon. If there’s another product out there that promises a “fecal fiesta,” we’re not sure we want to know about it.
3. Rub Away
No, it’s not the smallest, cheapest Jeff Koons sculpture, but this stainless steel “bar of soap” is way more useful. Rubbing it, with or without water, apparently removes the smell of onions and fish from your hands after cooking.
