Fluffy Dice

I thought that it would be interesting to have a thread about useless and/or stupid inventions. There are so many out there that have no practical purpose and yet sell exceedingly well. In that spirit I ask you; how stupid are fluffy dice? I mean, I just don't understand how they could have ever been popular. They are useless, obstruct your view of the road (albeit to a small degree), and they are not even aesthetically pleasing. So firstly, can someone explain the attraction of fluffy dice to me, and secondly, does anyone have any other stupid and/or useless inventions?

I can solve an rubiks cube, it involes a cans of spray paint in different colours.

I am a addicted to Eve Online! Are you?

i don't find the fuffy dice anywhere near pleasing. i find all other car decors to be stupid inventions. specially the car horn! your voice carries so much more content

@danclark a screwdriver and a bit of force is quicker and less messy than paint
though i find a sldgehammer the best thing for those ££^£^& cubes
useless inventions... hmm lawyers ...seriously though id have to suggest the sinclair c5 ...how to look like a wally and become a hood ornament on a truck in one easy affordable purchase !

Post Thu Feb 19, 2004 6:04 am

hey! no slagging off the c5!! I had a go in one around a specially built C5 race track and it was superb! Granted I'd never take the bugger on the road, but if I ever come into money and bought a big estate, I'd litter the place with C5s. There's something highly amusing about doing 30 miles an hour, half an inch from the ground, whilst you sit on your hands

I'd like to nominate "exectutive stress toys" as being the most useless inventions ever....I'm not talking about the better end of the exec toys market, eg bin basketball, mini office helicopters or sponge-pellit guns...I'm talking the reaaaaallly crap stuff - swinging steel balls, "@" shaped magnets and foam-filled stress "relievers". This sort of stuff

My mum went through a phase a couple of years ago of buying me this stuff for christmas. Bless her, she meant well. I didn't have the heart to tell her they're useless draw-filling pieces of crap.
