There’s no denying that you can get nearly anything you want on Amazon (within reason). In fact, you can even buy a brand-new car! However, there’s an entire category of products that some people might find…well, a little strange. From self-stirring mugs to taco-shaped sleeping bags, these quirky items can add a dash of humor and surprise to your life! Here’s a rundown of some of the weird, wacky, and downright funny things you can buy on Amazon.
1. Flush Money Down the Toilet: My parents used to always tell me I was flushing money down the toilet when I’d make dumb financial decisions. Now you literally can do that (albeit with fake money printed on toilet paper). If money isn’t your thing, there are designs with presidents, animals, or quirky sayings that people love.
2. Friendly Fries: Who needs emotional support animals when you can have these cute emotional support fry plushies!? Also available in chicken nuggets, pizza, pickles and ice cream. Just don’t try eating them!
3. Fry Fanatic: Speaking of fries, I know I’m not the only one who digs into the McDonald’s bag on the way home to munch on some fries. Now you take your fry-eating game to the next level with a French fry cup holder. This one even has a holder for sauces! The fry holder might also prevent you from finding a fry underneath your seat when you vacuum your car.
4. Popular Pop: When the popular soft drink brand asked “Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too?” in their 1980s ad campaign, I imagine they were not thinking about candles! Well, now your candle can smell like delicious soda with this fragrant Dr. Pepper candle!
5. Let’s Taco Bout it: This adorable taco sleeping bag blanket is a fun and hilarious addition to sleepovers, parties, camping and car trips. It makes a great gift too!
6. Meat Mincers: Unlock your inner Wolverine with these meat claws. Now you can slice, dice, or shred any type of meat that you want. Keep these away from children, of course, but these are perfect for the grill master in your home!
7. Taco Toaster: One issue with tacos is how easily they fall apart. Using the original Taco Toaster, you can get a nice crisp on your tortilla so it can hold the filling a bit easier. It’s as simple as putting the tortilla in the holder and inserting it into a toaster.
8. Cheesy Covers: These finger covers are perfect for gamers or anyone who can’t stand getting Cheetos dust on their fingers (myself included!) You might not get to lick your fingers after but it’s a small price to pay for easier cleanup!
9. Phone Prison: There’s no denying that many of us are addicted to our phones. With this phone lock-up cage, you can make family night a phone-free affair. These are mostly a gag gift, as they tend to be easily opened (especially by eager teenagers). If you really want to lock up a cell phone, get a real safe.
10. Hyundai (yes, really): As a former automotive editor/journalist and lifelong car enthusiast, being able to avoid a sleazy salesman at a dealership is a godsend. Now, Amazon lets you buy a brand-new Hyundai in the comfort of your home and avoid getting upsold on extended warranties at the dealer.
11. Cute as a Bug: I’m a big fan of keeping my desktops nice and clean using a mini vacuum. Now you can do it with this ladybug mini vacuum that cleans crumbs off desks while being adorable!
12. Self-Stirrer: It’s crazy that we’ve gotten to the point where we have self-stirring mugs but here we are! For those who don’t feel like being hassled with a spoon or stirrer, this mug does the job automatically. However, it is a pretty good idea for hot cocoa where the chocolate drops to the bottom of the cup!
13. Spinning Spaghetti: Mainly for the young ones, this fork with a motor spins your spaghetti for you, ensuring a perfectly twirled bite every time. Now more messy spaghetti face photos for this kid!
14. Brand Your Bread: Have you ever wanted a picture of Bob Ross branded onto a piece of toast? No? Just me? Well, now that’s a reality with this branding toaster. Also available in Hello Kitty, Snoopy and Darth Vader!
15. Sushi Socks: While there are countless cute socks with brands like Oreo and Coca-Cola, we love these hilarious sushi socks! Comes in a cute little sushi box and features salmon, tuna and cucumber rolls.
16. Cat Chase: If you have any feline friends in the house, a laser cat toy is a must-have. The toy projects a laser that cats love to chase and leads to endless entertainment (and probably some funny videos).
17. Bathroom Book: Here’s a guest book specifically for people to leave notes in your bathroom, turning it into a quirky, interactive experience. I’m not so sure about this one due to cleanliness, but at least 2,000 other shoppers thought it was a good idea!
18. Hold My Beer: Do you enjoy a cold one while taking a bath or shower? If so, then you need this small, suction-cup beer holder that attaches to the shower wall. It might seem a bit weird, but at least it’s better than having an electrical cord from a coffee maker next to your tub like Kristen Bell!
19. Inflatable Unicorn Horn for Cats: Here’s a comically small inflatable unicorn horn that fits on your cat’s head, making them look both regal and ridiculous. I’m guilty of being a crazy cat man and I’m definitely getting this from my cat! He might not like it but at least I get some amusement, right?
20. Cactus Cleaner: Add a little bit of vibrant Mexican culture to your home with this pretty cactus soap and lotion dispenser. Gives a nice rustic vibe with shades of green, beige and pink.
21. Precipitation Protector: Live in a rainy town and don’t want to pull out an umbrella every time it rains? Use this umbrella hat instead! This might be a bit more of a gag gift due to its bright colors but don’t knock it until you rock it!
22. Burrito Blanket: When I wrap myself in our beige blanket, my wife says I look like a burrito. Now I can look exactly like one with this burrito blanket. It’s a large, round blanket that looks like a giant tortilla, making your dreams of being a human burrito a reality.
23. Pastry Pillow: If tortillas aren’t your thing, how about a giant bread loaf pillow? This can go great on its own or with the taco or burrito blanket. This one doesn’t smell like freshly baked bread, but it sure looks the part!
24. Bacon Bandages: Hmm…bacon. You won’t want to eat this bacon bandage but if you put this on your wounds, who knows what people will think? Just don’t be surprised if you get “interesting” looks!
25. Dinosaur Dog: Check out this hilarious inflatable dinosaur costume that fits over your dog, making it look like it’s walking around as a mini T-Rex. This one’s only for smaller dogs, so check sizing before you buy!
26. Large Lollipop: This massive lollipop looks like it belongs at a carnival but is sold as a treat for anyone with a sweet tooth and a sense of humor. Somebody call a dentist!
27. Portable Pizza Pouch: I’m all for eating on the go but this is getting ridiculous! This small, clear plastic pouch lets you carry a slice of pizza around your neck for easy snacking on the go.
28. Plant Protector: If you’re anything like my wife, you forget to water our plants from time to time! These self-watering planters will water your plants for you and are perfect for those who tend to forget their plants exist until they’re wilted.
29. Popular Pancakes: Bring some joy into the kitchen with this nonstick emoji frying pan that leaves different emojis on your mini pancakes. Features seven different emojis and cooks perfectly shaped pancakes in minutes!
30. Toilet Golf: Got a few extra minutes on the toilet? Why not improve your golf game with this toilet-side mini golf set? Don’t forget to use the included do-not-disturb door hanger for maximum concentration!
