15 Inventions So Pointless They’re Actually Hilarious

Not every new creation is meant to take off. The way Matty Benedetto sees it, that’s the fun part of inventing!

Matty is a product designer and entrepreneur who, funnily enough, found success after he decided to specialize in “unnecessary inventions.” While his products are admittedly pointless, they do fill another need: making people laugh!

Check out 15 of his most useless inventions below and get ready to smile.

1. “Meet the AirSticks, the chopstick extensions for your AirPods.”

2. Introducing Bang Brows, the “eyebrow extensions [that] give your eyes the bangs they have always been hoping for.”

3. “The Do Not Paint Rollerâ„¢ï¸ … to properly label the walls that don’t need to be painted during your home renovation.”

4. “StickyKicksâ„¢ï¸. Stand your ground whether you are stuck in a hurricane, holding your place in a crowd, or just not going anywhere anytime soon!”

5. Cuisine Curtain, the perfect solution for shy eaters!

14. “The Not Hot Blanketâ„¢ï¸. When only that one leg just needs a breather.”

15. The Instructional Pants: for those who need a little extra guidance with their jeans.
