What’s the Most Hilariously Ridiculous Gadget You’ve Ever Come Across?

I stumbled upon some wild gadgets recently, and it got me thinking about the funniest or most ridiculous ones you’ve seen. Maybe it was a quirky kitchen tool, a bizarre fitness device, or something completely unnecessary. What was it, and what made it so absurd?

The first thing that comes to mind is a device called the Juicero, which got pretty famous around 2016 or so for being so incredibly stupid. It was markeded as a smart juice machine that would connect to your phone. What it actually was was a machine that you had to buy proprietary juice bags for, which you would then put into the machine, push a button in the app, and the machine would squeeze the juice out of the bag into your glass. That's literally all it did, you could 100% just squeeze the bag yourself and get the exact same result. Here's the kicker; the thing cost $400. To the shock of absolutely no one, the company went out of business less than a year and half later.

That's hilarious! But how about a selfie toaster? It prints your face on toast! I can’t imagine why anyone would want to eat their own face for breakfast, but it definitely wins the award for most unnecessary kitchen gadget.
