Tidy Cats cat litter
I bought this brand, instead of our normal Fresh Step brand, because it was on sale.Although their motto is “Keep Home Smelling Like Home,” it was best at making our home smell like cat poop a lot faster than Fresh Step. I suppose if your home smells like cat poop to you, that’s a fair slogan.
Cold Heat Soldering Iron
I don’t know what I was thinking. I don’t solder things. I’ve never used this.It might work very well. I wouldn’t know.
The Ship
I bought this years after the game came out because it was cheap at Target and I thought the premise was interesting.A tip for any potential buyers: The Ship is primarily a multiplayer game. The single player experience is essentially a tutorial that teaches you the controls and rules. I think there was, oh, about 1 server still running by the time I started playing this. It’s hard to engage in a multiplayer experience where there are only 3 other people in the world who still play the game.
Conair Deluxe Hydro Bath Spa
To be fair, this thing works OK. It’s not horrible in terms of functionality. It’s just so…embarrassing.From it’s phallic shape, to the fact that you’re submerging part of an electrical device in water, to the pitiful attempt to make your bathtub feel like a spa (nay, a Deluxe Spa!), it’s just not a very marketable product. And yet, I bought one.
Intec DSL Ultimate Game Case for Nintendo DS
What a piece of crap. I can’t believe I fell for the “Ultimate” tagline.In the uselessness arena, it scores big points for holding an extra battery and a battery compartment screwdriver (both not included). It’s also huge and is made from hard plastic, such that getting games in and out of the case was hard work. I still regret having spent $5 on this, when I could have eaten 25 candy bars instead.
Pasta Express
The purpose of the pasta express is to make cooking pasta easier and faster. Unfortunately, it does neither.You still have to boil water, but instead of just putting pasta into a saucepan, you have to pour it into this thin tube. Since it is no longer on the burners, the water gets cooler faster and your pasta is undercooked.
Then, when you go to strain the water, be careful not to hold the tube itself (you have to use the blue slippery glove!), lest you get burned. You’ll probably still get burned anyway, as the flimsy top falls off from the force of the water, spilling water and pasta everywhere.
Enjoy (cleaning up and eating undercooked pasta)! I did use the pasta express once to soak tea eggs for a day, for which it did a decent job. I think we’ve since given this monstrosity to a charity or homeless shelter or something. God help them.
