This miniature gas cylinder bank will save all of your change so you will have some money when summer grilling season comes around. Its true purpose as a bank is disguised with a little misdirection—unless a thief is jonesing for a quick smoke they won’t give the odd object labeled as a lighter a second look as they ransack your apartment.

As if you needed another sign that society is headed in the wrong direction, take the stupid products people spend their money on. Every year they get stupider and stupider, but we are right there to spend our hard earned dollar. Why? Because poop never stops being funny and it’s hard to resist a “limited edition.” So, without further ado, here is Part I of the epic master list of the stupidest products of 2009.
This piggy bank captures the very second that the hammer hits it before it shatters. Save your money in it knowing that you could take it all out with a single, well struck blow with a hammer. Of course after purchasing it you may have no pennies left to save.

Grabbing a toothpick doesn’t have to be a mundane experience, not when you can do it like you were driving an exotic sportscar. This real wood and steel gear shift has the feel of luxury that you expect in high end cars, now available to provide storage for toothpicks at a lower cost than a used Bugatti Veyron.

Flick Tack Toe is like a mashup between the classic tic tac toe game, paper football and cornhole.
It involves both skill & chance..just flick the chips up the ramp to land on the playing board – the special chip magic surface keeps them in place. You can even land on your opponent & take over his space. You can also do bank shots off the side walls. the game is not won until the final flick.
