A little over two months ago, HEXUS forum user, TheAnimus, started a discussion asking 'Gadgets that you've totaly wasted your money on?' With nearly 60 replies, it's clear that there is no end to the ongoing barrage of useless gadgets available to consumers these days.
Fortunately for us all, reevoo.com decided to conduct a survey to find out exactly "what is the most pointless gadget of all time"?
The survey, in which 4,500 Brits took part, concluded that electric nail files are officially the most useless product of all time. Boy, it's got to suck to be an electric nail file manufacturer right now. The complete list of pointless gadgets is as follows:
- Electric nail files
- Laser guided scissors
- Electric candles
- Soda stream
- Foot spas
- Fondue set
- Hair crimpers
- Egg boiler
- Electric fluff remover
- Electric carving knife
- Trouser press
- Face steamers
- Teas made
- Mini Disc player
- Facial tanners
- Egg slicer
- Electric tin openers
- Yogurt makers
- Towel warmer
- Back scratcher
What do we think, dear readers? Is it a little harsh for Sony's Mini Disc to be included? To that extent, should Toshiba's HD DVD player have made the list? We feel a little sorry for the laser guided scissors too, for a user with steady hands, they sound pretty awesome!
