I've just bought a large packet of chocolate buttons to make me and my cold feel better. It has a resealable strip across the top. Now who thought that resealing chocolate was a good idea. In my view its as useless as a wine bottle that you can recork. Does anyone else know of any more useless ideas/inventions.

Oh my lord I'm 29 and have struggled my entire writing career with notepads and now I'm in a paperless office you show me the left handed shop?! Curse those ambidextrous biros I've been using all these years!
Selfie Sticks. Seriously people the world is not so desperate to see a photograph of you next to a fire engine that it justifies you getting in the way of six other people.

Gadget circa 1970 that you put new spuds in turned the handle for ages whilst they bounced around on something that looked like white sandpaper, half the spud got battered and you still had to poke the eyes out 
I can't really think of a truly useless invention. Most things invented have some use but not necessarily worth it. Can someone tell me though. The fashion of buying jeans with ready made holes. Does one pay less?
Stoke49er ....I think you'll find one pays more ....its all to do with the quality of the holes
If anyone wants to buy a pair of jeans with holes in I've plenty!

laughing out loud and will probably be chucking in my sleep 
Thanks folks. Perhaps I will buy just the holes and fit them myself. But I prefer small ones, can I buy half holes perhaps?
