The universe is full of stuff. And some stuff is certainly more useful and more necessary than others. There are things that we need and have, then there’s stuff that we know we need, but don’t have, and then there’s stuff we know we don’t need.

But wait, there’s more. There’s also a fourth category—the stuff we are certain nobody on this planet really needs but for some reason exists. This is what Twitter has been discussing in a recent viral trend under the hashtag #StuffThatShouldNotExist.

Recently people started naming things that should not exist, but for some unknown reason are a thing. Besides all those taking a jab at Twitter’s image centering AI and everything that is wrong with the world, they have also shared pictures of things like carpets in bathrooms, Nicholas cage sequin pillows, and everything else that is either creepy, ugly or just plain useless.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best entries in this new challenge, which you can peruse below. And while you’re doing that, why not also leave an upvote and comment under the ones you enjoyed the most!

But it's soooo good! And the cans can be re-used to bake even More bread in! They work great and can be used when a traditional bread pan isn't available. :-)

Yes! My mom used to bake pumpkin bread in metal coffee cans! The design was so pretty.

Brown bread is not bread for sandwiches. It's a sweet bread. Like a zucchini bread. It's f*cking awesome!. Mostly only people from New England understand. Warm it up and top it with butter. Have it with hotdogs and beans. Better yet, have it alone topped with cream cheese.

Yep! Hot dogs and beans, Saturday night (or as my dad would say "Sat'tiday") wouldn't be complete without some brown bread! (Yes with some cream cheese...yums!!)

It doesn't look terrible. Emergency bread that probably has a longer expiry date

Only because the altitude screws up the cooking. This exists in the south too, but we laugh at it. I've tried it, it's wretched. All areas jave their thing though. Your blueberries are infinitely better.

It's a regional thing. New England. It's a sweet bread, not a sandwich bread. It's cooked in a can because it is not baked. The cans are filled, covered with foil and set into a pan of water, covered and steamed until done. It is very good. Moist. Sweet. Slight molasses taste. Great warm with butter or cream cheese.

I actually had a hankering for some! I'm 76 and remember my Bostonian Mom (we lived in Colorado) used to score them at the local grocery store. I can't find them here in Calif...so ordered a case from Amazon. Cream cheese or "hard sauce" (see attached>>) are go to spreads..... https://www.thespruceeats.com/hard-sauce-for-bread-pudding-3056248 As to how to extricate the bread from the can...open both ends and push on one end as it's actually steamed until done in the can!!!

It's good. Try it. More like cake (or an English pudding) than standard bread, though.

I've seen recipes for this in 1950s cookbooks where you actually bake a dough in a can - apparently it's a New England regional specialty.

This is BREAD? At first glance I thought it was a can of those beans that sometimes congeal in a can. I've never, ever considered bread in a can before. LOL

Haven't had brown bread in a long time! Was on many a table in Boston, especially on Friday with beans and codfish cakes. BTW, it's really not bready, more like a firm cake.

Actually, this is a type of steamed bread. My mother used to make an English "pudding" that was a batter poured into tin cans that were steamed in a pot of boiling water. She sliced it into thick slices and made a vanilla sauce and a "hard" sauce to go with it.

Brown bread is traditionally baked in cans. My grandmother used to make it for Christmas. Her "hard sauce" on top made from butter, sugar and lemon made it oh, so sweet and rich.

I think these are cool. Creepy toys aren't a bad thing, people. They aren't meant for little kids who'd be scared by them. Also, way less scary than some dolls...Like the clown from Poltergeist, lol.

I bought my dad a pen holder many moons ago which was a man bent over with his pants down. You put the pen in its butt and the man lifts his head and moans in many different ways.
