Answers:
I received a gadget that was supposed to remove the shell from hardboiled eggs. Nope, didn't work.
Copper bracelets and magnetic wear are a whiz down the toidy for sure.
Exercise equipment that supposedly requires no effort.
Chocolate fountains.
Anything advertised as "Fun for the entire family!!" is probably bad news.
Anything Not Sold In ANY Store!!

The vast majority of "miracle" vitamin and herbal supplements.
Cosmetics "guaranteed" to make your skin tighter and younger.
So many to choose from!

not a gadget but the most useless or unneccessary product i've seen lately was a packed mixture for streussel. you had to add butter and it cost $2 something. Streussel only consist of butter flour and sugar, why buy a 5 times more expensive package?
I once saw a device that scrambled eggs whilst they were still in the shell! It was a rapidly rotating needle you inserted, carefully, into one end of the shell, then you switched it on for about twenty to thirty seconds, and sure enough, when you then broke open the egg, the white and yoke were all mixed up. Saved you the effort of having to stir the eggs once they were in the pan!
Changed my life, I can tell you!
The device that tells you it is raining, set outside your window.
