Who buys this stuff ?

Not my usual stuff, but I enjoyed Bill Britt's suggestions for Top 10 Unnecessary Consumer Products of 2009 in Marketing Magazine; here's a short version.

10 Andrex's ‘On the Go' toilet tissue

No hole down the middle - you fold the packing into a dispenser. 55 sheets cost 99p.

Oakland Farm Eggs' Egg In An Instant

Yes, they've cracked the eggs and put them in a carton.

Tesco ready meal: 2 Baked Potatoes with Cheese

£1.84 to avoid all that effort..

Pancake in a bottle

But not quite ready - you have to fill it up with water and shake it. Then cook it.

Marks & Spencer Ready-Made Jam Sandwich

75p

Dettol Anti-Bacterial Floor Wipes

£2.70 buys 15 single-use anti-bacterial floor wipes.

Dairylea Dunkers

A packaging triumph.

Garnier Nutritionist Caffeine Eye Roll-on

£5.

Innocent Thickies - breakfast in a bottle

Oats mixed into a smoothie

Caffeine-Free Diet Coke

Just a way of taking artificial sweeteners
