Gosh, some of these Unitaskers have sparked me to actually buy them. I now own and use a purse hanger, for instance.

I will pass on this fizz thingie but perhaps a Tiddy Bear…

I love Unitasker Wednesdays too. My favourite part though is the comments from people who admit to owning and frequently using, or coveting one of the items. Not because I want to judge or laugh at them, but because it’s interesting to see how something that is junk to many people, can perfectly fill a need for someone else.

I love Unitasker Wednesdays, but I think the fun is from laughing at the ridiculousness of the junk we all accumulate in our homes and the absurd fact that the American economic system has allowed these items to develop into profitable products, not from the fact that the items featured only perform one function. It’s too entrenched to change it, but if you were just starting this now I might suggest calling it something else.

I *love* Unitasker Wednesdays! I expect many of us laughing at this junk do indeed possess some of the items, if only because somebody clueless or desperate gave them to us as holiday gifts.

We had these when I was a kid in the early 1960′s. They didn’t screw on, of course, because the pop bottles were glass then. They were fun the once or twice we got to use them, but then they disappeared! Smart adults lurked around our house… LOL

@Demis — All Unitasker Wednesday posts are jokes.

Buying a case of specialized plastic cups instead of just pulling a glass out of the cupboard seems a little wasteful and cluttery to me…

That video – that music – I’m getting serious flashbacks to video production class in jr. high!

Interesting…. Just what the world needs; another novelty device!

Meaningless trivia: In Australia we call ice cream floats ‘Spiders’.
