The wheel. The light bulb. The Hot Pocket.
History is marked by milestone inventions that revolutionized the way we live…but it’s also littered with bizarre devices, ludicrous patents, and as-seen-on-TV garbage. We’ve trawled the deepest, most shameful archives of regrettable ideas to bring you the 10 weirdest gadgets of all time.
10. The Selfie Toaster

Do you literally have money to burn? Are you a desperate narcissist who needs to be the center of everything—even breakfast? Then have we got the perfect gift for you!
The Selfie Toaster costs $75, and it clearly does not work. The gadget requires a custom laser-cut metal grilling plate, which you’ll get in the mail after sending the company a photo of yourself. Not only does the toast pictured look nothing like the example photo, but you can also easily imagine how bad it tastes: burnt in some patches, raw in others. We have so many questions. Are you supposed to serve toast stamped with a ghostly, nightmarish version of your face to friends and family? Or is this for lonely, late-night tea parties for people with more money than common sense? At least it comes with a removable crumb tray.
