EOC Week 8: Disastrous New Products

There are products that are thought up but should never see the light of day, but yet somehow they make it to the consumer market. Now the one’s you’re about to reading about it I guarantee would never make it to stores but just the idea of them is enough to get you to think about what if.  Something that meets those criteria is skunk perfume. Everyone knows that it would just be a horrible idea but I wouldn't be surprised if something actually came up with it and tried to market it even though it smells absolutely horrible. I picture them as being a foreigner though, someone from Europe most likely. Don't hate that’s just how I picture it. Another disastrous new product that wouldn't make any sense at all would be a spiky volleyball. It just wouldn't work to play with. Sure it might look cool, but the only safe place for it would be on a shelve collecting dust, and what would be the point of that? Something that might be a little more particle but still disastrous could be a computer mouse made out of a real dead mouse. You could just have the top portion of it with bottom left to glide on surfaces. The buttons would still be there underneath the skin but there wouldn’t be a scroll wheel on it because it just wouldn’t work too well. The mouse wouldn’t last too long because it would start to decay and stink unless it was persevered so it could last. It’s a little disturbing at the thought of using a once live mouse to control your computer. I know I certainly wouldn’t use it.
