I keep on getting ads on facebook for mysterious items.

What the hell is this revolting looking thing?!

Grintoo funny!

Scarlett555 · 05/09/2019 22:12

My theory is it's all a marketing ploy so people screen shot the weird stuff and share on social media. Everyone has heard of Wish now.

PurpleDaisies · 05/09/2019 23:17

Highly unhygienic loo seat warmer here.

I love the randomness of the Wish stuff.

AtlanticaBlue, the first one's a raclette grill, the second is an activity for people with dementia or certain SENs, the third is...something. Maybe a flower-arranging device?

virginpinkmartini · 05/09/2019 23:44

It's really clever marketing. Just enough to make you want to click and scratch that curiosity itch 😂 I've fallen for it a couple of times, and it doesn't even take you to the actual link 😕

ArseholesOnToast · 06/09/2019 00:16

That pimple popping aid is quite pricey for Wish, and compared to the cat blindfold and set of teeth.

Notagainsusan · 06/09/2019 00:19

Has anyone had the slime one??? It looks really rude (think a phallus shape) and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was until dh explained 🙈 I also get the new teeth one @devilinme and as someone a bit paranoid about my teeth it does make me a bit concerned!!!!

OrangeSwoosh · 06/09/2019 00:21

@Scratchyfluffface it's a cat muzzle

OrangeSwoosh · 06/09/2019 00:25

@AtlanticaBlue your third one is a very OTT, very over priced, very unnecessary sock pairing aid. Called a SockSync. Personally I just have a lucky dip in a bag for life!

That cat muzzle has really upset me Sad

SeaSaltandLime · 06/09/2019 00:42

What's with the gimp mask for the cat?

Feline fetishes?

AtlanticaBlue · 06/09/2019 00:48

The cat thing does look very cruel, I can't think of a good reason for it to exist.

I'm ashamed I didn't know what my ones were, I am feeling very uncultured!

Zoflorabore · 06/09/2019 00:51

I thought the sock thing was a steriliser! Grin

Zoflorabore · 06/09/2019 00:52

Ffs I just looked at it again and it has holes in it, some steriliser that would be....

Runs and hides

I'm still half asleep honest

BeepBeeeep · 06/09/2019 01:09

@Kirbs1979
Is that a mask for a bank robber? 😂

BeepBeeeep · 06/09/2019 01:11

I keep getting ads for veryberry.
I read the trust pilot reviews on the company.
It is beyond bad. Not one single good review. Ouch.

RavenLG · 06/09/2019 01:21

I’m guessing the cat muzzle is for anxious / aggressive cats when at the vets / groomers etc.
