What is the most useless product you have ever seen?

Q: What is the silliest most worthless product/invention you have ever seen?

A: These silly bloody things:

No touch soap dispensers.

When I first became aware that these existed, they were being marketed with the tagline: “Never touch a dirty soap dispenser again”.

Sure, a nanosecond before you *wash your hands*.

I suppose they might be useful in hospital surgery suites, but in the home, they're an idiotic, extravagant waste of time.

Edit:

Some people have pointed out that these dispensers do have uses in certain non-domestic or dementia care settings.

But one person admitted that they're prone to jamming, and spares are hard to find, which kind of bears me out, and explains why we have wall mounted modular soap dispensers in the school where I work, they do jam, but they can be manually unjammed, and the soap reservoir can be removed for cleaning or replacement.

So I think I'm still right.

Nevertheless, I'll include another ridiculous product I saw in my favourite printed medium, the crapalogue.

It's like a catalogue, but full of cheap living aids, like spiralisers and earwax suction devices, utter crap, but I love reading through them for gems like the “neck massager”, which was blatantly a vibrating sex toy.

I couldn't find a picture, so I present second place, the solar powered grave ornament:

Only £19.99!
