Those are pretty bad. Personally, I always ridiculed the Star Wars popcorn maker.

I suppose the logical answer is "if it did not sell, it wouldn't be in the magazine" but I have to really wonder who buys some of that crap in there.
Some of it is pretty cool. A good portion of it usually leaves me scratching my head and confused as to what it takes for people to purchase some of that stuff.

When I saw the Soup Nazi photo while on a flight last week, I cracked up laughing. Now 'fess up . . . has anyone here actually bought one?

Along with the somewhat dubious medical devices, there's also a quack device for your car: http://www.skymall.com/shopping/deta...d=102634720&c=
It's 100% guaranteed -- just return it for a full refund. Of course, you're supposed to drop one of the capsules into the gas tank. Good luck fishing it out.

There must be quite a market for watch winders out there somewhere.

There are hundreds of products that Wal-Mart choses not to sell, so they end up at Sky Mall..of course Wal-Mart are not always right.
Now what was the name of the Big Box Store that initially turned down Cabbage Patch Dolls.
