Well folks, we're only a few months into 2024 and the bad product ideas are already flowing like cheap wine. Corporations have outdone themselves this year with some real head-scratchers that make you question whether anyone is actually using their brain over there. Let's take a look at some of the laughable products unleashed on the unsuspecting public in 2024 so far.
The iSpoon
Leave it to Apple to try and reinvent one of the most basic utensils known to humans. The iSpoon is a $99 spoon that connects to your iPhone and tracks your nutritional intake. Because apparently just eating food like a normal person is too difficult these days. This spoon will vibrate to let you know you're eating too fast and send judgy notifications if you go for that second bowl of ice cream. Thanks for keeping us all miserable, Apple!
Reebok ButterShoes
Did you hurt your feet just reading that product name? Reebok's new "ButterShoes" are shoes with a butter compartment built into the toe box to allow you to butter your morning toast on-the-go. Yes, really. Nothing screams "innovative footwear" like grinding your feet into a puddle of butter with every step. I can't wait for these to get discontinued faster than Google Glass.
Brawndo Video Game Supplement
From the geniuses that brought us videos games that make annoying loud sounds to trick kids into nagging their parents for junk food, now comes Brawndo. It's a grossly overpriced "performance enhancing" supplement pill that's advertised to help you game longer and improve your hand-eye coordination or something. Like Gamer-ade was suddenly a real product idea someone greenlit. I'll take 'How to Rot Your Kids' Brains for $500' Alex.
I could go on, but you get the idea. This year's bad product lineup proves there are certainly no shortages of terrible business decisions being made out there. If any of these prime examples of corporate brain-neglect actually catch on, I'll be first in line for a premium tin foil hat because it means the human race has officially gone mad.
