    Here are some profoundly stupid inventions, that were created by human mind at the beginning of 20th century. Most of them have quietly faded from society. But several have been resurrected and repurposed, with similarly poor results: the portable sauna (Snuggie Sauna), TV goggles (Virtual Boy), and the baby cage (on any given day in South Williamsburg you can see children hanging out in these things).
    1. The "Comfortable Bra".

    2. The baby cage and the baby carrying.

    3. Inventions for smokers: cigarette pack holders, cigarette umbrella, portable ashtray and ashtray on the cigarette.

    4. This mechanical cat can meow ten times a minute and the eyes light up each time. The device for scaring rats and mice is from Japan and is powered by a two-watt motor.

    5. The TV glasses.

    12. And the winner of my personal hit parade - the yodel meter, which measures the pitch of the human yodel.
