Strangest gig merchandise?

I love a band t-shirt so always go and check out what's on offer. Usual suspects - t-shirts, hoodies, badges, maybe a cap or tote bag.
I won't name the band or venue but this week I came across socks! Who buys socks at a gig?!

Any other weird merch that you have come across?

Rammstein released a set of dildos all modeled on their own penises

I thought I might win this one, but nope, this beats everything ConfusedGrin

Evil Scarecrow sold beach towels with a giant crab on them (crabulon! Crabulon! Crabulon!).

Manchester band inspiral carpets have a song This is how it feels....(to be lonely, this is how it feels to be small).

They did baby and child T-shirts with 'This is how it feels to be small' a few years ago which I thought were fab. I've recently been trying to get hold of another one in fact but no luck tracking one down.

The dildos weren't actually modelled on their own penises. That's just a rumour. Rammstein said they considered it but they didn't have time.

PineappleSeahorse · 22/06/2019 14:37

The Rammstein shop also have almost anything that you could dream of, including a toaster.

ipswichwitch · 22/06/2019 17:48

I need a Rammstein toaster in my life!

PineappleSeahorse · 22/06/2019 17:49

I'm very tempted to get one too. Blush

ipswichwitch · 22/06/2019 17:50

I feel it would be a great talking point in my kitchen

MonstranceClock · 22/06/2019 17:51

I just want rammstein everything. Very upset their dildo's aren't modeled on themselves though.

ipswichwitch · 22/06/2019 17:52

It should make the toast pop out with a toasted band logo on each slice or something. Rather like that Jesus face on someone’s toast that got put all over the internet.

PineappleSeahorse · 22/06/2019 17:53

It does exactly that.

starzig · 22/06/2019 17:55

A festival I go to always has lots of pants from bands
I have band pants

ipswichwitch · 22/06/2019 18:34

Omg that’s it I’m getting one! Everyone should have logoed toast of a morning

At a gig this week, OP? Don't tell me they make Metallica socks, I'll wish that I'd have gone!

MadSweeney · 22/06/2019 18:53

Metallica had 'Master of Parents' kids shirts this week. Didn't see any socks too busy spending £100 on other shit but I know you can buy them.

Foo Fighter were selling giant blankets at their gigs last year. Lovely but not the most practical for holding on to at a stadium gig for hours on end.

They were also selling pint glasses but you couldn’t take them in to the stadium!

MadSweeney · 22/06/2019 19:04

Icebear Metallica had these cups, thick plastic so could be taken in. Great souvenir as well. Worked out about £2 a cup. £7 for your first pint, then around a fiver for every refill when you returned the cup.

Not a gig but a club I went to in Ibiza were selling fans (the sort Spanish ladies traditionally use to wave to cool themselves down).

I bought one & it was so hot out there it came in handy!

I had an Everything Must Go mug from the first time the Manics toured the album. And I have a PBS tea towel. Some good taste on this thread. I also have a Dear Catastrophe Waitress apron which one of Belle & Sebastian gave me years ago at a pub quiz.

TheFaerieQueene · 22/06/2019 19:16

I saw the Manics last night at Wembley, supporting Bon Jovi (my DSis birthday treat😉) and didn’t spot a mug. They were bloody marvellous though.

RubertRoo · 22/06/2019 19:19

Korn used to sell yo-yo's with their logo on. That was an odd one but yo-yo's were a craze when I saw them

PineappleSeahorse · 22/06/2019 19:22

Rammstein have those cups too. I don't drink alcohol but I'll be buying a few for my collection. I have some I bought on the website, They're a nice inexpensive piece of merch.
