View Full Version : Useless Products
Basically products that don't work as advertised.
I think #1 on my list is Drano.
Has it ever unclogged a sink?
Pure bullshit.

Most cortisone products on the shelves are a billion dollar scam...don't work for shit, my doctor gave me a prescription for this cortisone when I got some rash, it was $3 for 2 small tubes, the labeling and the box look like something totally hardcore but the shit works like magic. The name of it is Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment, ask your doctor about it.

My last apartment had old shitty pipes with God knows what coating the inside of 'em. You could unclog a drain with something like 3 bottles of Drano, but it was somewhat temporary and the drain was still a bit slow. The only thing that worked was to have the super snake those damn things. Other than that Drano has always worked fine for me.

I've never tried it, but I have to think the Jupiter Jack (https://www.freejupiterjack.com/) would have to be one of the most retarded inventions in recent history. It broadcasts an FM signal to your car radio (tuned to 99.3). Considering how many times I've heard other people's DVD players and satellite radios using this technology, I'd hate to think how many people would be able to listen to your phone calls while you're at a stop light. Especially around where I live. One of the most popular radios stations here is broadcast on 99.3.

I have to use any one of the commercially available hard water stain products (tilex, lysol, even CLR will work) and a 3M scratch pad to get the soap scum off of my shower walls. Soft Scrub works in the tub and sink. CLR works well to clean an empty dishwasher, but you can't just let it go alone. After the cycle has run you still have to wipe the inside with a towel or scrub sponge to remove the loosened residue. Then rinse two or three times to get the CLR out of there--you don't want that on your dishes.
I really should install a water softener.

A similar product, the POS that broadcasts your Zune/iPod to a radio station in your car has never worked for me unless I am in the middle of nowhere. Is there anyway to listen to your mp3 player in your car successfully (short of being lucky enough to have a car with an input jack or a tape deck)?

my xm tao broadcasts to a radio station and i almost never have trouble with it. only timei ever have trouble is is someone is also broadcasting with more power. it also lets you switch channels tho'

Yeah mine lets me switch channels too, that is the only reason I use it at all. The problem is while I'm driving around the city, I have to change channels every couple of miles because something else will overpower my frequency.

(My dad is a plumber. One day while trying to fix a clog, he finds a whole bunch of condoms.)
Dad: “I found the cause of your clog. Next time, just throw away your condoms. They don’t dissolve, so it’s bad for the toilet.”
Customer: “But my wife and I don’t use condoms…”
(There’s an awkward silence as the customer mulls over what he’s just said.)
Customer: “I think I’ll be having a talk with my wife now.”

I've been seeing these commercials for a razor blade with an indicator strip. When the strip turns white, you change the blade. Who the fuck can't tell when it's time to change your blade without looking at an indicator strip?

I shave once every 4 or 5 days. I need the indicator strip to tell me when to change the blade, or else I'd either be using really old one or constantly throwing out once used ones.
I think the "mountains turn blue when your beer is cold" is the worst invention ever. How hard is it to tell if your beer is cold?
