a lot of these products that look like dumb pointless gadgets (like that egg cracking claw) are made for elderly or otherwise disabled people, but they have to be marketed as just general public gadgets to be able to pull in the "i have $500 and am lazy" money and be advertised in more places. don't be an asshole, next time try using a few brain cells

>Who the fuck buys this shit ?
Boomers, and to a lesser extent trashy middle/lower class people who never learned how to cook properly, although the primary market is certainly boomers.

I recently went to a local Liquidation World to kill some time before picking up my wife at work, and ended up just walking up and down the aisles looking at random plastic junk like what's in your picture. Over the aisle I heard an older man talking to an older lady while looking at picrel, the conversation was something like this:
>Ohhhhh, what's that?
>It's got liquid in there so you can freeze it
>Oh so you can make ice I guess?
>Yeah, you don't even need to mess around with the facet when you make ice
>Wow, they make the darndest stuff these days, didn't have anything like that when I was a kid
>It's amazing, we wouldn't get water everywhere anymore!
>Yeah, let's get a few packs!
I saw them at the check-out and they were buying 3 fucking packs of these completely retarded reusable ice-cubes to solve their completely retarded problem of being unable to fill an ice-cube tray. Never mind the fact that there's plenty of times you need crushed ice, or you want to blend ice, or you just want the ice to slightly dilute whatever you're putting it in. I'm thinking that this is extremely retarded, now you have to take care of a whole bunch of new little worthless plastic objects, and you don't even have the convenience of being able to throw the old one out because it still has specific use cases.

I don't know if it's just the novelty of these retarded fucking objects that attracts boomers to this shit, or if it's some misplaced sense of efficiency, but I'd wager that old people make up 90% of the market share for this kind of shit.
