Five Products That Were A Complete Waste Of Money

These Five Items I Wish I Had Never Spent Money On

from JoeUser Forums
Sharper Image Bathroom CD Player

The sound quality was crappy and the thing went through batteries like Star Jones at a buffet table.
CURRENT STATUS : was donated to thrift store

A: a novel by Andy Warhol

I really loved POPism, THE Philosphy of Andy Warhol, and The Andy Warhol Diaries, so I thought I would buy this when it got re-released this year. It is BORING and almost incomprehensible.
CURRENT STATUS : Sitting on my bookshelf

PROACTIV (an acne fighting solution touted in infomercials)

I used this stuff for months and sometimes I thought my skin looked better, but sometimes it didn't. Basically, wash your face and stop eating sugar. Though I have to say maybe for some of those poor souls in the ads with lots and lots and lots of pimples and sores this stuff might help.
CURRENT STATUS : discontinued use but they did keep sending me product for two months after I cancelled. Had to send back.

HITMAN, DIGGLES, The SIMS

When will I learn that I hate video games and I never play them for more than a week if that? Well, I guess I know now.
CURRENT STATUS : all sitting collecting dust on the CD-ROM shelf

Mini Voice Tape recorder

Intended to take notes, make "memos to self", and use to memorize information. Well. I'm a scratch paper kind of guy. A paper and a pen work much better for me than this 30 dollar chunk of techno-crap.
CURRENT STATUS: somewhere in house, waiting to be crushed underfoot no doubt

A bathroom cd player, huh? I will make a note not to get one.
Andy Warhol did many drugs. Imcomprehensible would be normal for him. He was a great artist though.
So the ProActiv thing doesn't work? I will tell friend who was thinking of doing it.
I don't know what Hitman or Diggles is. But I do love the SIMS. I don't get to play much. It's a game I only allow myself to play when I have oodles of time.
Oooh, mini voice recorder. I want one of those! Same reason you had. Paper and pen would work, but since I work in bars (I'm A DJ) paper and pen get lost or boosted. Voice recorder fits in a pocket.

Hey..an idea for a complete worthless but cool thing...A bubble lamp. Ya know, it's a tube, you put water in it and it has plactic fish that float around in there. It's non practical, and it entertains the cat.
Happy holidays

Very clever.

Here's my list.

1. Anything from Bath & Body Works. Smells fake, clumps after a few weeks. Current status: gathering dust under sink

2. My last dump (I mean, apartment with the meth lab neighbors beneath). Current status: occupied by family with three small children. Yech. (Okay, it's not a product....)

3. Grow-it-yourself amaryllis. Current status: (Amaryllis: please, please, just let me die in peace! Me: applying shock paddles a la ER to insert life into withering bulb)

4. Rapid-fire Nerf gun for brother. Current status: am collecting the sponge-bullets and hiding in underwear drawer

5. Lighted deer that graze/grace everyone's lawn this holiday season. There are too many real deer in this world as it is--quit widening the gene pool with even more stupid deer! and yes, I think they do procreate.
