We all know many of these useful inventions created: transportation, the automobile, the telephone and much more we use till this day. But have you ever thought about the inventions that have not only failed but most likely turned into a huge mess? Well, let me show you some of the world’s most stupid inventions ever created.
Firstly, we have the Pre-Cracked Egg. It is an egg that was put in a cardboard and plastic container sold on Amazon. Its purpose is to help save time cracking eggs with no messy hands. But to be honest, this is not the most practical item. Besides, do you really think this would be useful in our daily life of cooking eggs?
Moving on, the Remote Headband. I’m pretty sure everyone would have lost their remote somewhere once in a while but with this invention, you’ll never have to reach into the tiny cracks of the sofa again! Many may think this is a convenient product, allowing you to easily reach for the remote without too much trouble, or knocking them to the floor when grabbing some other items. But let’s face it, this would just look stupid and there are better ways to organize your remotes.
Next, the pizza fork. Most of us have probably eaten pizza before, but if you haven’t, let me describe it to you: a crispy, thin, organic piece of bread with a spread of flavourful tomato sauce, and topped with the melted delicacy known as cheese… basically, the best thing I have ever eaten. Back to the main point, the purpose of this invention is to help people who don’t want to eat pizza with their hands, so they can cut it into smaller pieces since these “cIvILIsED PeOplE” refuse to wash their hands afterwards. Well, I personally think, NO ONE should be using a fork to eat pizza… such disrespect.
Lastly, the invention: The Mini Umbrella. Its purpose is to keep a lady's shoes dry when it is raining. This may be one of the dumbest and most idiotic inventions we have ever faced since the shoe would get wet anyway, rendering this invention useless. Also, it would just feel uncomfortable wearing this; imagine having an umbrella stuck to your shoe, and knowing how hideous it looks when going to events.
To conclude, some inventions would simply not be ideal for our daily basis, however, they can be great for collecting and showing off to your friends. They also show how inventors really tried to make our lives easier by creating these items. I envy how they never gave up…
