Our Ultimate Top 15 Wackiest Products

In celebration of having reached the 100,000 hits mark we’re taking a trip down memory lane to revisit some of our posts concerning some of the most curious, bizarre and strange items that we’ve covered in our first seven months.

From ornaments made from fish bladders to chicken scented bubble machines, indicating lights that clip on your ears to fake breathing cats in baskets, we’ve featured our fair share of genuinely bizarre items in Thoughts from the Sidelines over the past six months so we decided that it was about time that we selected some of our personal favourites and revisited them in this post for those of you who may have missed the original entries.

Tobacco and Whiskey Cologne

One of the many basic laws of psychology is that on the one occasion you have called home to advise that you’re having to stay at the office and work late you then get home later in the evening to find that you have an argument on your hands. Why? Because you don’t smell of smoke and alcohol.

The Fish Bladder Inflation Ornament

The Coffin with an Internal Panic Button

I don’t know about you, but I would prefer not to be buried alive and so it is nice to know that if a doctor’s slight misdiagnosis results in me being buried in error then, thanks to a chap by the name of Vitaly Malyukov, all I have to do is press a panic button in my Alarm Coffin which should, in theory, result in me being dug up and let loose again.
