Weird niche products.

[Dinner]

One of the great things about the internet is it lets small time producers sell their goods to just about any one in the world so we get exposed to niche products we'd never find in a local store. What sort of niche products you ask? I've been browsing and here's a few of my recent finds:

Did you know some guy in Venezuela is selling cheese made from the milk of beavers? Neither did I but for just $999.00 per cheese wheel you too can try beaver milk cheese. How the hell do you milk a beaver anyway?http://www.venissimo.com/store/produ...beaver-cheese/

Right now an English guy is trying to sell his apartment in Hinckley where he has rebuilt the entire bridge from Star Trek voyager. Is he an over zealous fan or some freak with a Star Trek fettish? You decide. http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=15780

A gift which every cash starved college student will love because who doesn't love those delicious Ramen Noodles? And if you love them, you'll get the Mini Noodle Stove. Just place your favorite cup of noodles over the single stove plate, and wait a couple of minutes. I have no idea how they can heat up the package without melting the styrifoam cup. http://www.uniquedaily.com/articles/TMSPTCFJJ.html

Do you like water melon but hate how it's so round? Then a Japanese company has the solution to your problems with their new square shaped watermelons. Why someone would spend years trying to figure make square water melons I don't know. http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/a...lon/index.html

I know there's more out there. Come on folks share the weirdest niche products you've found on the internet.

Then there is this lovely idea:

The "Brief Safe" is an innovative diversion safe that can secure your cash, documents, and other small valuables from inquisitive eyes and thieving hands, both at home and when you're traveling. Items can be hidden right under their noses with these specially-designed briefs which contain a fly-accessed 4" x 10" secret compartment with Velcro closure and "special markings" on the lower rear portion. Leave the "Brief Safe" in plain view in your laundry basket or washing machine at home, or in your suitcase in a hotel room - even the most hardened burgler or most curious snoop will "skid" to a screeching halt as soon as they see them. (Wouldn't you?) Made in USA. One size. Color: white (and brown).

To add realistic smell, check out "Doo Drops".

that is nasty...

erm... not worth my tagline for this one

[Dinner]

Ever wanted a bag made out of human skin leather? Well you can't get those but a French company by the name of "Skin Bag" now makes a simulated human skin leather bag for the lady who has everything.

Because it's easier to put them in the fridge and stack them on display. It's not like it's a big deal to grow them, just grow it in a square container.

I've heard that if you just grow them in a container, they end up being significantly different.
Like the crust at the pressure points (where they hit the side of the container first) will be much thicker and the results aren't always great.

Oerdin, DUDE! I just saw those poo pants myself, you know how I got there? I googled 'weird underwear'. So... now we know something.

[Provost Harrison]

You googled 'weird underwear'?
