Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Party popper prophylacticWent to a friend's 21st a couple of years ago. Her uncle had brought along something that sounds similar, though the whole thing was covered in a cellophane wrapping. A *very* tough cellophane wrapping, as he discovered when he fired the party popper, projecting an enormous cloud of glitter, streamers and confetti from the end of the tube, an impressive two or three centimetres out of the end, where it was all neatly contained by the wrapper.
We ripped the thing open anyway, and threw the contents around by hand, much to the delight of the restaurant staff.
