US Patent #6125480: Bumper Dumper
The “Bumper Dumper” is a unique toilet seat set up (once featured on the Jay Leno Show) that can be attached to the bumper of most any truck or SUV. The unit fits on a 2X2 hitch and can be fitted with either a trash bag or a sealable 5 gallon bucket that conveniently attaches to the under portion of the seat..
These dumpers must be hot, as just last year they were selling for $59.95, and now they are up to $69.95 (toilet paper holder sold separately).
eBay Motors: Magnetic Sunroof
Have you ever wished that your car, truck, or SUV had the look of a real sunroof? Well now it can… and all in under 5 minutes! These fashionable beauties are simply a rectangular slab of magnet made to give the illusion of a sunroof to any vehicle.
This just might make you slightly cool with everyone that you don’t know. But for those you do, they will think you are so lame, it will cancel out what little coolness you once had.
Hitch Hands and Testicles
These novelty items have already been bashed plenty, but they just keep coming back. The hitch hands is a rubber/plastic hand you place on your hitch giving drivers behind you, ahem, a hand gesture of some sort. The testicles are, just that, a pair of either skin colored, neon coated, chrome, or gold plated cahoonies, designed to make the driver macho.
But they don’t, they make the driver look tacky and most people (especially women) hate them. Some states like Virginia hate the testicles so much that they have taken steps to have them banned under penalty of law.
They have been trying to dash some of their negative attention by donating to testicular cancer research for each testicle hitch they sell. This makes having one of these on your vehicle like having a pink ribbon magnet… only much tackier!
Engine Overhaul Kit in a Bottle
Okay, So I’ll admit that I fell for this when I bought my first car at 15. I will however give myself credit that after putting the liquid “fixer” in and got to the wax/metal pellets you are instructed to drop onto your warm pistons through the spark plug holes, I came to my senses and gave them to a friend I didn’t like much at the time.
This kit has been laughed at for over 40 years, but there’s still enough people buying it that it may be around for another 40. Not even the popularity of the pet rock and cabbage patch doll can touch that!
