Did you know that frisbees were originally just pie containers? Or that Play-Doh was intended to be a wallpaper cleaner? Sometimes, customers find a better use for products than what they were originally marketed as, so companies decide to pivot. But there are also plenty of cases of companies being in denial about what their products are used for, regardless of how many people purchase them for different reasons.

Redditors have recently been discussing some of the most commonly misused items people buy, so we’ve gathered their thoughts down below. Enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the products you’re guilty of using for different purposes too!

32 Common Items That Are So Widely Misused You Might Not Even Know Their Original Purpose Former GF gave me a model Death Star. Looks like pewter but I'm not sure. A bit smaller than a tennis ball. It looks pretty cool, but she was so excited when she explained "Look! It opens up! It's a grinder for dried spices when you cook!"
Didn't want to hurt her feelings by explaining that she had given me a weed grinder. I was dying inside holding in the laughter.

To be fair, you can also use it to bring herbs if you want to do that. Is even quite practical. I have one that looks like a fat round cat, and I don't even drink, let alone smoke anything.

To find out more about how this conversation started in the first place, we reached out to Reddit user EVERYTHING_WAS_TAKEN who posed the question, "What is an item that everyone misuses but the makers pretend they don't know?"

ADVERTISEMENT

She shared that Q-tips/cotton swabs inspired her to ask this question. "I was looking at the pack in my bathroom and started wondering if there was other stuff out there like it," the OP told Bored Panda. "Everyone puts them in the ear, and the manufacturers definitely know that. I think I've learned a whole new world of how deep exactly some people put them from this Reddit post, though. Don't damage your ears, kids! Swab responsibly."

"I'm an artist, so I frequently misuse objects and repurpose them," the OP continued. "But this post was meant to find out about physical things that are misused in the same way by the majority of users, and is common knowledge."

And as far as why companies pretend that they don't know people are misusing their products, EVERYTHING_WAS_TAKEN supposes that it's for several reasons. "They would have to redesign something that already works properly for its intended purpose, so that just means extra cost on their side when they're not technically liable for misuse," she noted.

Nah, if you're looking to weight out drugs you just get a drug scale. Most digital kitchen scales, home and professional models, don't measure anything below whole numbers. You're not going to be able to split that gram bag of blow with your buddy that way.

An ex BF bought it for me because he thought I could use it (he used it a lot when cooking). I was reluctant and thought it was totally unnecessary. I happened to use it once and never stopped using it afterwards. I use it very often now, especially for baking or following recipes.

I thought this was common knowledge but most instruments (scale, pressure gauge) are more accurate towards the middle of their intended range. In other words a kitchen scale that could weigh 10 pounds of chicken would be a poor choice for weighing 2.5 grams of herb if you care about accuracy

It’s for measuring out drugs. AFAIK generally powdered ones like cocaine. I went through a period of substance abuse and bought myself one of these scales to make sure my dealer wasn’t shorting me. I’m three years clean now, at least that’s something.

"Also, tons of people would complain, so customer dissatisfaction," the OP shared. "And people misusing the item would find something else to buy, so customer loss."

"In some cases, you actually can't 'fix' the product to stop a specific misuse because it's being used technically properly but for a different goal," she explained. "So there's nothing they can do. And honestly, some of these misuses are so bizarre it would just be weird for a company to try to address it," she added with a laugh.

Cough medicine containing dextromethorphan (robocough, robotabs). If taken as prescribed, it's a cough suppressant. If taken in much higher dosages, it's a dissociative anesthetic, like pcp or ketamine. Kids and adults have been abusing the stuff for decades. There's a whole subculture around it.

The listings on Amazon for neck pillows all show people using it with the opening in the front. So if the photos on the listings show the intended use, then most people use them as intended, which may or may not be the best way to use them.
