We all have those moments scrolling online where we stumble upon something so utterly bizarre, our first thought is "who even buys this?!" Your sensible side might tell you to keep scrolling past the Godzilla microwave steamer or the possum in a peanut car. You've got bills to pay, adulting to do, and a perfectly normal, non-skull-shaped muffin tin already patiently waiting in your kitchen.

But then there's that other, more mischievous voice. The one that whispers, "But... what if it's actually amazing?" That's the voice we're listening to today, folks. We've dived deep into the wonderfully weird corners of the internet to find those peculiar products that, against all odds, are not just hilariously random but also surprisingly practical, or at the very least, guaranteed to make you crack a smile. Get ready to question your taste and then immediately feel that little itch to hit 'add to cart'.

For The Pet Whose Face Has More 'Character' Than A Reality TV Show Villain, This Ugly Pet Pillow Is Your New Favorite Oddly Adorable Lounging Companion

Hand holding a quirky black animal-shaped plush, one of the ridiculous purchases that just kind of make sense.

Review: "I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I looked at all of the reviews and realized that it wouldn’t be a perfectly executed stuffed animal of my cat. I knew it would turn out exactly how I wanted it. So I chose a picture of my cat that I would thought would be hilarious, and it was!! It did take a while to arrive but I didn’t need it for any specific reason so that didn’t bother me." - daisy
