- [Narrator] Online shopping makes things a whole lot more convenient, but it also means there's
some seriously weird products available at the touch of a button. From terrible as-seen-on-TV items, to celebrity endorsed disasters, here's some of the most
ridiculous products you won't believe actually exist. (light music) Jade Yoni Egg. Gwyneth Paltrow's wellness brand Goop is an epicenter for
laughably absurd products, and recently it's been
hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The company has promoted
so many bogus claims about its egregiously priced beauty, health and lifestyle products that it's hard to keep up. One of the most entertaining claims surrounds the mythical Jade Yoni Egg, which costs 66 bucks a pop. What do you do with these smooth, egg shaped crystals, you ask? Well, if you're a woman, Paltrow suggests you stick
them where the sun don't shine, literally. - Insert the jade egg in their lady parts. - Right. - To help tone the pelvic floor. - How does it help do that? - I don't know, I need to
start my jade egg practice. - [Narrator] Gwen might not be so sure, but Goop has claimed that
inserting the egg into your hoo-ha can have a whole slew of miracle benefits, including increased bladder control, pelvic floor strengthening,
and even improved sex life. Sounds kinda wacky,
but worth a try, right? Well, according to medical
professionals, definitely not. Gynecologists have warned
that besides the obvious risk of the slippery egg getting lost or stuck, sleeping with one in like Goop suggests can even lead to deadly
toxic shock syndrome. In fact, the company
was slapped with a hefty $145 thousand fine in 2018 for spinning totally unsubstantiated tales about what is essentially
an overpriced rock, so I'd save your rainy
day pennies for now. Body Vibe Stickers. Another great example of
Paltrow chucking money at what could easily be an
elaborate April Fool's prank are the life-altering Body Vibe Stickers. These stickers, which are decorated with enough faux hipster illustration to make you look like a
walking Tumblr dashboard, aren't just stickers though. There are some wacky health
claims sprinkled in there too. This is a Goop approved product after all. The Body Vibes website
claims that the stickers can help with a whole range of stuff, from improving sleep to curing anxiety. The quote unquote "scientific
explanation" behind them is that each sticker is a
vibrational energy disc, which can tap into the
body's electromagnetic energy and basically retune
you like an old guitar. In other words, your
guess is as good as mine. The company is so confident
about these abilities that they even put
Gwyneth Paltrow and NASA in the same sentence by
claiming that the product was made from the same conductive material that lines their space suits. After being called out
by the Space Station, who know of no such material, this was then dismissed as a
simple communication error. Oops. Unsurprisingly, countless doctors, including anti-Goop
crusader Jen Gunter MD, have explained that there's simply no way to rebalance whatever energy frequencies this sticker claims to target, and it's just a load of hocus pocus. EZ Butter. - [Commercial] Everyone loves butter, but getting it out of the
fridge, out of the wrap and onto your food is a real hassle. Introducing EZ Butter, the
fast, easy and safe way to cut your butter every day! - [Narrator] That's right, if
your arms are growing weary of slicing into an oh so
solid block of butter, then it looks like EZ Butter
is just the thing for you. This handy contraption
is pretty much a stapler for the dinner table. It dispenses perfectly
square slices of butter with just one easy click. If you're as enthusiastic
about butter as this kid. - [Commercial] Kids absolutely love it! - I love butter. - [Narrator] But you suffer terribly from a fear of rogue crumbs
and imperfect slicing, then fear not. Why not fiddle about with squeezing the perfect amount of buttery goodness into this enormous plastic casing instead? - [Commercial] Use the second cutter to cut just about anything, from cheese to hot dogs,
to bananas, to cucumbers! - [Narrator] If this wasn't
nonsense enough already, the commercial goes on to
suggest buying a second cutter to slice other foods,
from cucumbers to bananas, and even hot dogs. Sounds fresh and totally
time-saving, right? This product goes to great efforts to make one of the easiest everyday tasks seem even easier for no reason
other than pure laziness. Long Reach Comfort Wipe. - [Commercial] For over 100 years, we've been scrunching
and folding toilet paper. Finally, there's a better way! Comfort Wipe, the sanitary
paper extension arm and holder. The first improvement to
toilet paper as we know it since the 1880s. - [Narrator] Speaking of
problems that don't really exist, here's a product which has been designed to wipe your butt for you. You know, just in case
you can't manage yourself. The Long Reach Comfort
Wipe extends your reach by up to 18 inches, as
if anyone truly requires such an immense length,
so that you can really get those hard to reach places without even touching the toilet paper. If you ask me, anything that compares a toiler based product with a shower brush should definitely be
approached with caution. - It's embarrassing to
have someone help you with your personal matters. The Comfort Wipe allows you
to maintain your dignity while you maintain your personal hygiene. - [Narrator] Probably
the most ironic thing about this product is
that it claims to help you maintain your dignity, as
if crouching precariously over the toiler while
trying to grasp tissue with the end of a curved
stick is in any way dignified. This product would be
ridiculous even if it worked, but as demonstrated by this guy, it takes an unnecessary
amount of grappling to even get the device to hold any paper. - You have to really scrunch
it in a thousand times, but then. - [Narrator] Seriously, who
would go to such great lengths just to avoid touching toilet paper? It's almost as if we haven't
been doing it for centuries. What happens when you poop in public? Are you supposed to discreetly carry this thing around with you? Scream Jar. Do you struggle to make it through the day without unleashing deafening
screams at any moment? Have you alienated family and friends with your random public outbursts? It seems like all you need
is the Scream Silencer Jar, which promises to transform
even the loudest scream to a distant whisper. That's right, next time you feel like running into the
backyard, falling to your knees and yelling to your heart's content, you can just grab this weird
plastic terracotta jar instead. It makes a great talking point too. "Oh, that new vase? "It's actually this thing
I scream endlessly into "when my life feels like
it's falling apart." (man screams) - [Man] That doesn't help at all. - You didn't even try, yell real loud. (man screams) - [Narrator] As you can see, this product doesn't exactly
do what it says on the tag, or should I say jar, because a distinct amount
of noise still escapes. Other reviews on Amazon
have claimed that this thing has been a total life saver when parenting gets a bit too much though. To each their own, I guess, but you're going to look
like a total tool either way. Electric Uplift Nose Shaper. Many people believe that a nose job could solve their problems, but surgery can be hella expensive, not to mention the painful recovery time and the procedure itself. Thankfully, you can now
cut out all the hassle of a real rhinoplasty
by investing just $14 in the Ocamo Electric Buzzing
Up Lift Nose Shaper instead. As if the name wasn't
already confusing enough, this miniature torture chamber, which looks like something
out of a crossover between the Barbie and Saw franchises, claims to reshape the bridge of your nose using vibrations alone. - Let's turn this on. (device buzzing) - [Man] That sounds horrendous. - It is! - [Narrator] It's really no surprise that the Uplift Nose Shaper in action seems just as useless
as one would imagine. Besides sounding like a hive of bees has just entered your nostrils, this pink plastic cage is
definitely not one size fits all, making it impossible to
stay on anyone's face without holding it in place. Then again, if you were
expecting to get the same results as actual surgery just by
sticking a buzzing contraption to your face for three minutes, then you probably deserve to
be conned by this product. Contact Lens Jewelry. Any contact lens wearer will tell you that this product is a terrible idea. Who in their right mind has
ever loved jewelry so much that they thought, "If only there was a way I
could decorate my eyeballs too?" Even the thought of having
a bunch of tiny crystals dangling from a string
attached to your iris is enough to make you
wanna claw your eyes out, and yet, this product still exists. The unique jewelry was created by Dutch designer Eric Klarenbeek, and I guess it's pretty
in a sad emo kinda way? (solemn music) Call me crazy, but it seems
like there's something dangerously unsafe about
the idea of an object, no matter how lightweight,
tugging gently at your eyeball. The thin wire rubbing
against your lower lid has got to be cause for concern too. And what happens if there's
a sudden gust of wind? Let's just be thankful
the online influencers haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet. Face Slimmer Exercise Mouthpiece. Sites like wish.com
are perfect for finding weird and wonderful beauty
products at inexpensive prices, but the likelihood of them
actually working is slim to none. Take this rubbery pair
of lips for example, which allow you to look
like a blow up doll while simultaneously toning your face, or so they claim. The device simply requires you to chew on the sugar pink
mouthpiece like a teething child for three minutes a day, and
promises amazing results. As you can see here though, this miracle product looks
more at home in a horror movie than anywhere in the beauty world. - Do you think anyone
actually uses this in earnest? Like they really believe
this is gonna help them? - [Narrator] If you're wondering
whether it actually works, a reporter from the Daily Mail gave the lips a two week trial in 2013 and reported no real changes, other than making her
dribble a lot in the process. Unless you have an unrealized dream of looking like an operatic
duck while soaking in the tub, you can probably give this product a miss. Pop-Heads. Imagine this, your child
has been accused of bullying someone at school, and you need a new way to make them realize what it's like to be on the receiving end, but how? Send them to school looking
like this, that's how. This is the only use I can think of for this terrible product,
which goes by the name Pop-Head, although perhaps pothead would
be a more appropriate name because that's what you'd have to be to want this unironically. - Place the Pop-Head onto your scalp and start to wrap the
hair around the Pop-Head until you conceal it, pulling
and smoothing it tightly towards the top of the neck. - [Narrator] If you, too, want
to look like Cindy-Lou Who form the Grinch, then all you have to do is stick this brightly colored
plastic cone to your scalp and wrap your hair around it, as if you've been struck by lightning. Considering it's a fairly simple device, the Pop-Head does
achieve the desired look, but as you can see here, it's not nearly as neatly put-together as the box would have you believe. - Looking good. I feel like my hair is a compass now, like which way do you wanna go? West? East? - [Narrator] Pop-It Pal. No matter how gross it sounds, there are plenty of people
who can't get enough of popping a good spot. One woman even made an
entire TV career out of it. If your skin is just too clear to get your much-needed
dose of satisfying action, then you can just head on over to wish.com and grab yourself one of these bad boys. This fleshy brick is supposed
to simulate real human skin and comes with a vial
of silica gel or pus, which you can inject into
it and then squeeze it out over and over again to
your heart's content... - Ooh. (woman laughs) - [Narrator] When it comes
to a product like this, you're either gonna love it or hate it, and I have to say, it
does look pretty fun. I do have to wonder what
our ancestors would think if they could see what the
excellent minds of the future have come up with though. Hair Dryer Bonnet Hood. Is looking perfectly sensible while drying your hair getting you down? Are you sick and tired of having to wave the hair dryer around
your head all the time? Thankfully, you can now look like a vintage Doctor Who villain while achieving maximum
laziness after every shower, thanks to the Hair Dryer Bonnet Hood. Made from what looks like
the flimsiest material known to man, this simple
attachment inflates like a bounce house around your head and is sure to fry your hair
in no time, or maybe not. - Hm. Okay. - [Narrator] Whether you're
lounging around the house or you just can't be bothered
to raise your arms anymore, you can get that perfect bird's nest look for a fraction of the salon price. You might just have to wait a while. Camel Balls. When you're coming up
with a new candy brand, one of the main requirements
should probably be that it's kid friendly, but
that didn't stop someone from creating Camel Balls. These bubblegum balls definitely
take after their namesake, which is pretty evident
from the unsettling mascot sported on the front of the box. To make matters worse, each ball is liquid filled and extra sour, which I hope isn't an effort
to simulate the experience of actually chomping down
on a real camel's testicle. (camel screams) Thankfully, online reviewers like this guy reported that they
actually taste pretty good, not that it makes the whole
charade any less disturbing. - You know something? It tastes all right. - [Narrator] Speaking of
disturbing food products, check out this absurdly
useless pre-cracked egg. The people on the packaging clearly think it's an egg-cellent idea, but wouldn't it be great if nature created its own protective
packaging for eggs instead, just like oranges or bananas? Thankfully, this does seem
a little too ridiculous to be anything more
than an elaborate joke, but judging by some of the
other products on this list, who knows? Which of these totally ridiculous products would you invest in if you had the choice? And have you tried any out yourself? Let me know in the comments
below, and thanks for watching. (light music)
