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!

These are illegal in Korea. (Still many people use them, but they're urged to replace them)

You may think this is nasty. I do too. My mom used to buy them for the food drive. It's protein, it's shelf stable and easy to use. They are fully cooked and could be heated in the can, with one end open, over a fire. When you're desperate, this is better than dumpster diving. I'm guessing that none of the commentators on this post so far have never been truly hungry.

Aging myself here, but this was in a subplot on M*A*S*H. Needless to say, the people who ate it got botulism.

I saw one once and it looked like someone took a slimy dead animal out of a storm drain. ICK!

Is it cooked? Is it raw? Doesn't matter, even the dog won't eat it!

I actually bought one of these once. The smell was so awful we tossed it out without even trying it. I won't normally waste food, but this was vile.

I stumbled upon hot dogs in a can on a recent trip and thought that was bad enough. This takes the cake though

Yes. In my bachelor days I bought one for about $3, and the flavor was surprisingly good. The only one I ever tried. KFC is MUCH better.

Believe it or not, it tastes just like chicken. It's a bit too soft and mushy, and I honestly have no idea why they sell it whole and don't remove the bones. It's not like you can make roast chicken with it!

This is quite convenient. And tastes pretty good too. Don't knock until you've tried it.

If you drain off the jelly and put the remains of the chicken in the oven for 30 minutes they end up tasting ok.

We had one for years, we used to take great joy in schlurp noise it made when you turned the can up. I could never understand how they got it in there with the bones! (I was only young and no one told me it was boneless!). Someone eventually opened it but I missed the event. Apparently it was from the 1970’s and was opened in the mid 90’s. Eeeew

I had it once. We took it camping. It really is not that bad of you wash the slime off and debone it and mix it with other things like potatoes and veggies to make a kind of hash or stew.

Chicke, water, salt. Now that's how most ingredient lists should be, simple.

Surely, this is mislabeled and there is a poulet in the can.

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.
