According to The 176 Stupidest Things Ever Done, there are - or were - all real products
Hand Grenade #74(ST) - This grenade debuted during WWII, as a better wayto blow up enemy tanks. How? It had a fancy coating that made it stick to the tank - when it didn't stick to the poor sucker trying to throw it at the tank first, that is. You had about five seconds to get it unstuck and throw it after you pulled the pin, or else - oops....
Grenade Shampoo - If the above is a little too explosive for your tastes, how about a bottle of Grenade Shampoo? This was a man's man's shampoo, packaged in a bottle that looked like - a grenade. (Perhaps they should have packaged it in a bottle that looked like a nude Anglina Jolie....)
The Floater Bubble - Silver King and aka Eraser might like this one. Developed in 1954 by Minnoqua, this was an inflatable bubble complete with wetsuit, chair and seatbelt, designed for the enterprising angler who wanted to cross streams without getting wet. Problem was, one gust of wind, and said angler was likely to end up airborne for parts unknown.
The Plow Gun - Just what it sounds like - a plow that converts into a gun. Whatever happened to beating swords into plowshares? Now we know.
Rock and Roll Pants - black Lycra unisex briefs with a sterio speaker in the crotch. For those who like to "Cum On Feel The Noize."
Coffin w/Escape Hatch - Now this one actually sounds like practical. Invented in 1868, this coffin features a lid and escape tube with a ladder, along with an alarm bell that the dearly not-so-departed can ring to summon assistance should they be unable to make the climb. Just in case your idiot brother didn't check for a pulse...
