What is the most useless gadget you have ever bought? Or what did you buy and never use?

Answer 1

Hundreds!

Sandwich toaster, egg boiler, bread maker....the list goes on and on.

I once bought an electronic voice changer so I could spook some friends on the phone, but it didn't work.

Answer 2

...Interesting question. Prompted me to go to my gadget drawer to research the answer. As I have been unable to say NO to many pampered chef parties and I have two drawers full of gadgets. I have grapefruit cutters, orange pelers, small whisks, large whisks, can strainers, measuring spoons, assorted knives and rubber bottle openers thing-a-ma-jigs.... The one gadget that is the most useless, is the one that you always forget to use until AFTER your hands are a sticky mess. Then you don't know where you put it anyway. It's a "thingy" to get olives or pickles out of the jar. Takes longer to remember it and find it than it does to just get the pickle out with your fingers.

Answer 3

I've bought heaps of things that I didn't use in the way of clothing and c.d's, but I'm a repeat offender for tamagotchi's and virtual pets.

I went through a phase where I bought one, got sick of it, bought another one, got sick of it, bought another one, etc. about 5 times within a matter of a couple of months... I was around 16 at the time and I have absolutely no idea why I kept doing it... to this day I still have to stop myself from buying them- whenever I see a kid with one around their neck it tempts me... I have absolutely no idea what it is about these things that just makes me want to buy, buy, buy, even when I KNOW in my mind that I wouldn't make use of it or would get sick of it as soon as it died the first time around.

Luckily these days I have the sense to keep away from the useless pieces of junk!
