PIZZA FORK: This 'effortless way to eat pizza' has been slashed from its original price of £4.99 down to £1.49 - highlighting just how 'must-have' it isn't! A device to help you cut through crust and topping with ease. Funnily enough, those historical implements, the knife and fork, do much the same thing.
SHAPE-UP DUMBBELL ALARM CLOCK: This combines two of life's least pleasant experiences - an early morning alarm and exercise. It's an alarm clock inside a 10kg dumbbell - and you can turn it off only with 30 upward swings. Get your exercise out of the way before breakfast or just scream and hide under the covers.
GLOVE AND BOOT DRYER: Another piece of utter clutter, this one has a built-in fan to circulate air around your wet gloves and boots. Apparently, this 'indispensable tool' keeps your gloves dry in the winter and odour-free during the summer. Put them on the radiator instead!
THE LOO READ: This ridiculous gadget is supposed to be 'perfect for reading papers in the loo'. Available in broadsheet or tabloid versions, it seems you can also use it to 'do puzzles or apply your make-up'. It 'provides a platform for almost anything'.
PHONE FINGERS: These really are finger sleeves to help keep your precious touch-screen phone and iPod grease-free. Only truly useful for those with OCD.
THUMBTHING: Billed as 'a brilliant new invention for reading books', it's a device that you clip over your thumb so you can read with just one hand - and eat or hopefully do something more productive with the other.
DRYEAR EAR DRYER: A machine to dry your ears after you've had a bath or been for a swim. Apparently, 'drying your ears has never been simpler or more effective'. Or, at £69, more expensive. The battery-operated device slots into the ear canal and blows hot air. Just to add to the lunacy, the instructions advise you to dry your ears with a towel first!
LASER-GUIDED SCISSORS: This cutting-edge technology is said to help you snip in a perfect straight line. It's great in theory, but the laser is attached to the scissors - so whenever your hand shakes, so does the light.
SHOWER FOOT-REST: This may have sold pre-recession, but surely a suction cup shower gadget to 'assist your balance while shaving' your legs is excessive now. Why not put your foot on the side of the bath?
MOTORISED ICE-CREAM CONE: For those too idle to twist their wrist, just pop your cone inside this battery-operated turning cone and it will do all the work. You can even put it in the dishwasher, because washing up would be far too much trouble.
