This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

Not really a crap gadget but something crap bought from a misleading advert

A friend of mine (Paul)excitedly informed me he was buying a magic mushroom growing kit from an advert in the back of Viz. As with all mail order there was a huge wait for the thing to be delivered, and as the delivery date approached Paul was getting very excited at the prospect of getting a load of hallucinogenic mushrooms without the bother of wandering about welsh hillsides (our usual method)

Then he became quiet about it. Not a mention, very odd I thought so the next time I was round his house I brought it up. He muttered about fucking small print and took me to the cellar in his house where he showed me a tray of button mushrooms growing nicely.

The advert had said

MAGIC mushroom growing kit

does not contain psylocibin producing mushrooms

the twat

yes they knew their target consumer
and the small print was really really small

All you need is a syringe full of psylocobin mushroom spores
You can buy them legally online (as it's still legal to look at them under a microscope) - combine it with a mushroom growing kit and BAM magic mushroom farm. Been doing it for the last two years now - so much more convenient
