If you hate wasting time walking around the mall, online shopping might be right up your alley. It’s fast, it’s efficient, and it has become almost like a lifeline during quarantine. When you have something specific in mind, you often turn to the retail giant Amazon, a go-to site for virtually everything. Yet, once you scroll past the items you need, things take a bizarre turn.

The Worst Things For Sale (TWTFS) is a Twitter account dedicated to the most horrible objects on the web. After all, there’s plenty to choose from. The creator, Drew Fairweather, combs the site and handpicks "one terrible item every day" to make his followers a little baffled and a lot amused.

So if you’re looking for a terrible gift guide, you’ve come to the right place because we have selected some of the weirdest things the account had to offer. Continue scrolling, upvote the ones you enjoyed most, and tell us what you think about them in the comments!

    When people say that all things should have a function and a purpose, they've probably never stumbled upon an enormous USB-compatible Enter Key or a fried chicken phone case. The internet is chock full of items so extreme that they seem unreal. Yet, all it takes is one look at Amazon to recognize that it’s a true treasure trove of weird, strange, and peculiar objects. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    We reached out to Drew Fairweather, the founder of the account, to learn more about his project and the inspiration behind it. The artist not only writes The Worst Things For Sale blog but is also the author of the daily comics Toothpaste For Dinner and Married To The Sea

    Fairweather started TWTFS about ten years ago when he was simply looking through Amazon. He noticed that there were many weird and hilarious items "always peeking out from under what I was actually trying to find," he told Bored Panda. Ever since then, the author has faithfully documented the oddest and most pointless objects found online. "Once you realize the breadth of bizarre things available there, you can't un-see them!"

    When it comes to the Twitter account, it now has more than 11.6K followers. This shows just how many people are drawn in by a desire to discuss and figure out why on earth such things exist in the first place. Also, why some people actually buy them. Well, as they say, one person’s trash is another’s treasure.

    "Since buying items is the main creative outlet of most people—most Americans, at least—people enjoy seeing unusual items for sale," he said. Statista reports that Amazon was responsible for 50 percent of US e-commerce spending in 2021. One of the company’s key tools to increase that spending is Amazon Prime, a membership that gives you free and fast shipping, plus extra privileges like streaming music and video. 

    In 2018, as many as 62 percent of their customers in the US were Prime members. According to Statista, they are highly engaged shoppers who spend a lot of money—more than double the amount of non-Prime members per year—and are relevant to Amazon’s success.

    Fairweather also writes about items "that seem normal—branded waffle irons, pink screwdrivers—that have a strange or sinister subtext hidden beneath the sales pitch." When it comes to some of the most bizarre things he has ever come across, it has to be the "BabySaver, a box where you store your child's baby teeth after they fall out." 

    "The box has holes for each tooth, so you can reassemble your child's teeth into a jaw-shaped curio," he explained. "If that's not enough, it has a slot in the middle for your child's umbilical cord."

    Maybe the follow-up is Melanie's Funeral and then Melanie's Wake to complete the trilogy. Not many twists, I'll be honest. Unless there's a crossover into George's Marvellous Medicine.

    Why subject your child to all the complications that come with getting a preventable illness? For instance: Measles resets your immune system. Yeah, sounds like a GREAT way to strengthen their immune systems! /s And getting Chicken Pox opens you up to getting Shingles later in life.

    Fat lot of good when poor Melanie is blind and deaf because you’re not a fan of getting you’re kids jabbed. Like a friend of mine who was born deaf and with kidney problems because her mum caught measles whilst pregnant from you’re unvaccinated brat. Sadly she died a few years ago from cancer.

    "German measles" is the one that is very mild so nobody minds gettin it except pregnant women. For them it is almost guaranteed to cause stillbirths or babies with serious birth defects like deafness.

    Oh damned, I just ... I think that, and it's quite a thing that I say that, that society has accepted way too much of the disease-fans' shid way too long. Antivaxers are stupid, and the prime example of where the state and law enforcement, in order to protect those who cannot be vaccinated, should intervene. Please, people, don't let those making a fortune from telling you lies get away with it. Never was there any therapy that was better than not getting sick in the first place, and each and every vaccination available today is safe! Don't support people who support germs! Don't spend money on their propaganda! Fück them!

    I had measles as a child, there was no vaccine available where I lived when I got it. Trust me, I wasn't in any mood to go prancing through a garden chasing butterflies, I was sick as a dog for a week. Any parent who won't vaccinate their children against measles is abusive, IMO.

    Measles erases immune memory. So if you get measles after developing immunity to other diseases, you are re-susceptible to those same diseases. In other words, measles can help you die of things other than measles. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03324-7

    My father, born in 1944, contracted Rubella when he was small, and it stunted his growth a bit, and ruined his teeth. Me, born in 66, missed half of kindergarten due to chicken pox, and the last month of 6th grade due to measles. I contracted them the same week they were inoculating my class for measles. High fevers, hallucinations, couldn't eat due to the measles in my mouth, yah it was really flicking marvelous. I had mumps too, not at the same time thankfully. Anyone who thinks these diseases are no big deal, or who infects their child on purpose to get it "out of the way", is a very misinformed and potentially lethal parent. And not just to their own child.

    Wait we had a governor that believed in this garbage. He bragged about throwing chicken pox parties for his adopted kids. No thought that he aimed the gun that is shingles at his kids. Spoiler alert... 33% chance of getting it and chicken pox is the only way to get it. It's not just unsightly, it's super painful. I've known a few people to have it and a couple said they wanted to die it was so bad and they wouldn't wish it on their worst enemy.

    Some idiot deliberately gave my kids chickenpox ones. They didn’t bother to tell me that the kids were suffering from chickenpox before bringing them over. When I protest and I was told “the younger they get it the better.” So stupid. My baby was so ill, she could barely eat and I literally had to hold and carry her 24 hours around the clock. I had special medication for the sores in her mouth so that she could eat, but I had to stop nursing because of the risk to me. Do not ever think that it’s a good idea to expose a child to some thing like the measles or chickenpox.

    When I was a child they had 'measles parties'. That's right, if your neighbor or other mother's child got measles, mother's would bring their own children to get it. That way your child(ren) get over the measles early in life when the symptoms are mild. Measles in adults can cause major health issues.

    When I was growing up and someone's kid had the measles, mumps or chicken pox we were sent or taken to their house so that we'd be exposed and catch it to "get it over with" according to my mother.

    When I was young (late 50's) mothers would purposely expose us to measles and chicken pox to get it over with..... No one seemed to die and every single person I know my age had both. Some of had mumps but not all of us.

    "As with any items manufactured and sold, these were all created with the purpose of making money! A lot of these companies, I'd imagine, start with someone having an idea they hope will be popular, a niche product that will become the next Beanie Baby or Scrub Daddy," he told us. "They're then put through the wringer of marketing to become one of the abominations I write about, like Bumper Dumper, the toilet you attach to the trailer hitch of your truck."

    The artist revealed that his ultimate goal is to make people think about what they’re buying and why. "These products are mostly made of plastic, manufactured by underpaid factory workers, sold at a premium to people who don't need them," he explained. 

    "They're a colossal waste of energy and material resources, and it engenders suffering from the human cost of manual labor, the occupational health hazards experienced by the workers, and the ecological damage done by extracting these limited resources from the Earth."

    Fairweather continued: "The very richest people accumulate wealth and use their power to strip the rest of us of health and happiness, then sell it back to us, one plastic piece at a time. We don't need any of these things! It's all a symptom of a society which has prioritized the accumulation of the wealthy over all other aspects."

    So while these awful objects catch our attention and allow us to let out some genuine laughs, they also show a much deeper problem. Remember that each time we consume a product, we support certain businesses and their values. So next time you want to buy a funny-looking thing online, think long and hard whether it's actually worth it.

    still fascinates me that people will use all the products of science - you know, space ships, aircraft, nuclear power stations, cars, GPS, cellphones, computers, etc - but when it comes to medicine and how the body works they are like, no, screw science, Im going to go with some theory from like 5000 years ago.

    People who have suffered traumatic brain injury would probably find this highly amusing. Not everyone is as easily offended as some people think they should be.

    It's a hint to the "Now this is what I call [ Rock, Rap, Country, the 70's, the 80's] collections to sell people the same songs they already have on other "Now this is what I call....." albums.

    Now, i'm not saying anything particular, but "Elder Knight" sounds a bit like "Grand Wizard".

    It's a card game where you have to win despite the fact that the rules are changed every 10 seconds, no card is what it appears to be and you're allowed to keep cards up your sleeve.

    Why is it that in America, pot is still illegal in a majority of states, but alcohol (which is SIGNIFICANTLY worse for both the person using it and society) is so widely accepted that there's a market (however stupid) for things like this?!? I've never been afraid that I was going to get hurt by a stoned person, but drunk people are unpredictable and scary!
