In the olden days, well, about 20 or so years ago, shopping used to be very simple - you go to that one store, find two versions of a thing that you're looking for and buy the one that you like better. Easy peasy - no need to rely on some strangers' reviews, no need to compare between hundreds of versions of the same thing for sale and you can touch the object with your own hands before buying it. Sure, online shopping saves you the trip, but sometimes if you want to buy a pen, the Internet might throw thousands of pens for you to choose from. Time conserving? I don't think so! Also, there's always the temptation to see just what oddities you can buy online, and browsing deep into the Internets might carry you away into a sleepless night. So, to save you from a red-eyed day at work and to feed your curiosity, we've gathered a list of the worst, the weirdest and the most unexpected things to buy online.

Even if you consider yourself a hardened Internet surfer, these weird things might still raise your brow if not both of them. An urn with a glittery unicorn, a tungsten metal sphere that, as advertised, does nothing for measly 249 dollars and scented duct tape that you so desperately need is just the tip of the iceberg of these oddities. No, we are not saying that these are useless things, but most of them are either made for an uber specific task or fails to do the one thing they're destined for completely. Of course, these sellers are playing it smart catering the needs of their unique-minded clients, because if there's at least some demand, why not make a fortune out of it, right?

Well, we aren't convinced that anybody is making millions selling the weird stuff from this list, but hey, at least they're something fresh for our I've-seen-it-all eyes. So scroll down below for an Amazon freakshow and don't forget to vote for the worst things for sale!

    I saw someone doing this on some you tube thing. .. but without the curved thingy...... lucky Australia is doing this thing against wasting food and I can buy straight bananas now :). Thanks Tiffany, freezing it all makes sense now. Frozen bananas are awesome. ( peel them first, maybe cut them into bite size bits. )
