Inventors are some of the most creative people. They are always coming up with new and brilliant ideas while striving to make the world a better place. Although, it’s safe to say that some of their ideas are more brilliant than others. The 55 inventions included on this list definitely fall into the “need some work still” category.
From canned unicorn meat to grass-covered flip-flops, these weird products are pretty out there. They are so bizarre that it’s hard to believe that some of them actually exist. However, we assure you, they are indeed real. Although, for these inventions, whether that is a good thing or a bad thing still remains up for debate.
1. Naked High Heels
Heels are supposed to be classy. Typically, the more expensive the shoes, the classier they are. However, these expensive creations are pretty much the opposite of classy.

In Japan, someone thought it would be a good idea to make a faceguard for eating noodles. It keeps your long hair from ending up in the bowl and protects you from splashing. Not to mention, it also looks amazing!

We’ve seen all sorts of interesting designs on socks before. However, this is the first pair of socks we’ve seen that insult corporate employers and their tedious meetings. Wearing these to work would be a big act of rebellion.
4. Baby Mop
Put your infant in this baby mop romper and let them crawl around the floor. They will clean up all of the dirt for you so that you don’t have to do it. It’s good fun for the babies. They don’t even realize that it’s work.

10. Unicorn Meat
This exciting product can be found on Amazon. According to the label, there is magic in every bite and it is an excellent source of sparkles. Although, when you open the can, what you’ll really find is a dismembered stuffed unicorn doll.
11. Telescope Glasses
These glasses have little telescopes built right into the lenses. They make it possible to see tiny things at a distance. Although, we don’t really see the benefit of having the telescopes pre-attached to the glasses versus keeping them separate.
12. Artsy Cabinet
This cabinet made by Studio Dewi van de Klomp looks like something you would see in the movie Alice In Wonderland. Its proportions are very unusual. Yet, somehow several cups and plates still manage to squeeze into the cracks.

47. Soccer Goal Chairs
If you get two of these goofy chairs, you and your friend can actually play soccer while you sit in the kitchen. We’re not sure what you’re supposed to do if the ball goes flying across the room though. You would have to stand up to go get it, plus, you might break something.
