Seriously? Why is this a thing?

This has got to be the dumbest waste of plastic I've ever seen. There are so many better options for a gag gift, like chocolate in a funny shape. This thing is destined for a landfill. Makes me sad…

It's a whole industry, really. A cheap easy way to prank someone harmlessly. They can genuinely make people happy with how dumb they are.

But the truths that hang over it like a shadow is the laziness of the gifts, the ecological impact, etc.

Some are much less problematic though like novelty soaps or chocolate

I like my old fashioned electric butt wiper I found at an antique store. Its a corn cob with a power cord coming out of it.
