A while back I posted a list of products I had seen advertised that were a completely ridiculous waste of money. Well, I know you'll find this hard to believe, but there are even more of these products out there. So here is my Second Edition of Ways to Waste Your Hard-Earned Dollar. (Click here to see the First Edition.)
The Slumber Sleeve
A pillow to attach to your upper arm for those days when you're traveling or anticipating falling asleep in 3rd period Algebra.
The Wine Glass Holder Necklace
Umk. You will look way cool at a party wearing this bad boy. You'll get all the chicks for sure.
The Booze Belt??
Why in the world would anyone need this? Is "Traveling Bartender" a real job? Because surely one person could not need this much available liquor at one time for personal use. And the thing has to weigh about 20 pounds when it's full. That much weight would pull your pants down! And why does this chick look like she's dancing. Are you supposed to dance while wearing the Booze Belt?
The Waist Band Stretcher
This thing is $29.95 Just use that cash and go to Old Navy to buy a new pair of jeans already.
The Wristband Cell Phone Carrier
Want to make sure your teenager does not want a cell phone? Insist that if she's going to get one she has to carry it around in one of these. If my mom had told me that, I'd have stuck to writing letters.
The Tummy Tub
This company says this tub is comforting because it reminds baby of being in the womb. So.....bathe your baby (who has no muscle control) in a bucket sitting up, and hold his head up the entire bath so he doesn't drown. Sounds like it makes bath time a breeze. If you really want to try this, I suggest getting a 5 gallon bucket from the mop aisle.
The Smart Car
The Smart Car tops my ridiculous product list. If you live in America, this is NOT the car for you. Because in America we have speed limits of 70 mph. And 18-wheelers. And trains. And the H1. And lots of cowboys and farmers and high school students with very big, heavy Fords. If you were to get in an accident with any of these vehicles, or a Camry for that matter, your car and everything in it would be decimated. So if you live in a tiny town in Greece with cobblestone streets and people cruising around on Segues, then by all means, get a Smart Car. But in America? For your personal safety I'd advise against it.

I don't know where you find this stuff, but this edition of "More ways to waste your hard-earned dollar" nearly had me on the floor! I particularly love the creepy hands to "cradle" the baby. Are they serious??
My kids think I'm nuts because I'm sitting her laughing for apparently no reason. I tried explaining that I was reading a blog, but that just made me laugh harder because they were asking questions like "Why does Ms. Kelsey write on a log?" LOL!
I need to get back to mine, but now I'm feeling like I can't compete, on any level, with this. Guess I'll have to just stick to catching people up on our Disney trip!
Love it! I find the Tummy Tub pretty creepy looking.
I agree with you on most of these. Especially that tummy tub. And while I entirely agree with your safety concerns with the Smart Car and would never buy one myself, I admit that I get a little jealous when I see one parallel parking (there are quite a few of them in the DC area for that very reason). However, the booze belt - that's just plain cool. Do you think I could substitute diet coke for the liquor?
BAHAHAHA! This is hillarious! I am literally LOL at all of your smart alec comments. I am for sure buying the cell phone holder for my kids. The sexting epidemic is solved with that bad boy. Actually them having sex in general is probably solved with one of those hideous things. You seriously think there could be safety issues with the Tummy Tub? Get out! I saw a picture a few months back of one of those cars crushed between 2 semi's. They really are ridiculous! Thanks for the laugh at the expense of some "brilliant" inventors!
Those are pretty ridiculous, however I could use the booze belt for a more enjoyable day at work...
this post is such a hoot! thanks for sharing!
Thanks for those funny products :)
I laughed!
