Brain Gelatin Mold
It would also make a great talking point at any dinner party. Finished the main meal and ready for dessert? Roll out the Jello Brain and watch you guests gush over its authenticity. Hand out some spoons and let them dig in and enjoy the deliciousness that is Jello Brains. Sorry, Jello Braaaaaains.

Scorpion Vodka. You get the vodka and a scorpion you can eat. Makes the worm look pretty pathetic, doesn’t it?
Apart from the fact that there is a real scorpion in my vodka, I am really impressed with their claims:
Alcohol infused with a scorpion is said to possess many excellent health properties when drunk, such as helping to increase libido, lowering blood pressure & helps remove toxins in the bloodstream.
That’s an impressive list of benefits. Although I find it hard to see how eating a scorpion reduces the toxins in my bloodstream.
And I love the token warning:
Please be careful of the sharp stinger
No shit!!

I just wanted to let you all know that Weird Stuff That Sells will be celebrating Halloween during the entire month of October by giving you weird scary items that will make you cringe, re-think the world and, best of all, run screaming to the neighbours house.
So stay tuned during each day in October for yet another weird item that people sell.
Boo!
Not all weird stuff is mass produced or even created from scratch. Meet the Bucket BBQ.
This product is pretty ingenious. But I don’t see how paying around $26.00 for a bucket with some heat beads in it can be justified. This really should be one of those do-it-at-home projects you see on those TV home shows. And not something you buy ready-made over the internet.
I can’t help being fascinated by the idea though. But I don’t know if it would be the ideal BBQ to use for your next BBQ bonanza. Your friends would be waiting a long time to cook their steaks. Still if you live on your own, go nuts!
I know the website says that the item is no long available but this only forces you to build one yourself. Something I am seriously tempted to do. Not that I would use it. It would be for bragging rights only. Okay, maybe I would use it. Once.
Note: Don’t try this with a plastic bucket.

Pez for Pets Dog Treat Dispenser
This PEZ dispenser is filled not with lovely brick-candy, but dog treats.
When I first laid eyes on this product I thought that the dog would have to be nimble and smart enough to somehow dispense his own treats - which would of been a remarkable feat, seeing as many humans I know have difficulty understanding the concept of how a PEZ dispenser works.
But no, all it really is is a giant (9″ tall) PEZ dispenser with a dog head on it, filled with dog treats that you dispense and give your dog.
Not too inspiring.

Gun Egg-Fryers
Yup, fry your eggs in the shape of a gun. What more could you ask for first thing in the morning?
Expanding the gun culture is a good thing, and the world needs more guns, so teach your children to love the gun by serving them up a good helping of bacon and gun-shaped eggs. Full of gun-cocking protein.
The one downside to these would be trying to clean them. Scraping the egg stuck to those ordinary round ones are hard enough, imagine trying to get into all the nook and crannies of these suckers!

Shocking Battle Tanks
Now you can settle any argument by shocking your opponent with a few quick shots from your Battle Tank.
This toy (and I use that term loosely) lets you zap your opponent by shooting at and hitting his tank. If you score a successful hit he receives a shock via his remote. And if he manages to hit yours, you are shocked. Neat!
I love the warning at the bottom of the blurb for this item:
Please note: Keep product out of reach of children - this product contains small parts that represent a choking hazard.
Yeah, because shocking small children is okay, just don’t let them swallow any small plastic pieces.

Amazing Pets Love n' Licks
And the same is happening with toy dogs. A great example of this is the Amazing Pets Love n’ Licks range of toy puppies.
Just like their name suggests, they will lick your child after given some petting and love. But it is no dry lick. Noooo… it is a Love n’ Lick lick, with pretend saliva and all.
Yup, if you get the dog happy enough it will drool all over you and get you “wet enough you will need to wear a rain coat,” if the ad is to be believed.
Don’t believe me? You can watch the ad for yourself. Enjoy!
I can only guess at what Furries think of these toy pets.

Absinthe Lollipop
Why let your kid have ordinary lollipops when these are available? Not that they are marketed towards kids. Teenagers have way more money than kids do and they seem to like the taste.
What a mixture: Lolly and alcohol. It just begs for the underage consumption of alcohol. Or is that just me?
And as the spiel says:
…they’re the ultimate party favor- the combination of absinthe’s mystique and the inherent sexiness of lollipops is a pretty explosive one.
What a wonderful world we live in.

Cheeseburger In A Can
A cheeseburger in a can.
Just say it out loud and let the deliciousness of it roll over your tongue.
You can taste it already, can’t you? Which mean you should be heaving it up in a few seconds.
I am really struggling to find a place on Earth where you could justify the use of the Cheeseburger in a Can. I mean, even on a camping trip you would be able to bring better (and more real) food than this. And you would be able to hunt seals and fish in the Antarctic. Both better options than cracking the lid on this thing.
I am still thinking and nope, can’t think of a place.
Maybe I’m still too shocked that this isn’t an American product.
