Matty Benedetto, the king of unnecessary inventions has invented numerous contraptions to ‘help’ in our daily lives. Here are just a few…

The Sunshaders – Is the sun still too bright? Try these to maximise the sun-blocking potential.

Neckl-ICE – Beat the heat with this ice-cube necklace.

Sweat Gutters – Don’t let the sweat get in your eyes!

Puppy Thumbs – Tired of your dog not having thumbs? Here’s the solution!

So what do you think? Are they truly unnecessary? I know I could definitely use the Neckl-ICE in this heat 😂

    Puppy thumbs have me laughing way too much. 😆

    I'm a fan of the great invention from The Mighty Boosh; Pocket cup.

    I love the sun blinds and ice cubes!

    What I'm waiting for is rain wipers for spectacles - 50 years of wearing mine and nobody has invented them yet 🤓

    @WhatThe your prayers appear to have been answered! This young man seems to have cracked it!

    Well you know what to put on your amazon wishlist now, lots of doohickeys and parts to build one. 😆

    Makes me think of the Juicero. The juicer that you had to pay a subscription for, had to connect to the internet and the bag it "juiced" were mostly already just juice already.

    I remember that @Jimm_Scope! I don't know how they dared to sell it

    Unnecessary kitchen invention? The electric steamer? Bulky to store, pricey and lots to wash up!

    Steaming veg is sooo simple on a hob or in a microwave oven.

    @WhatThe I completely agree! My mum used to have one before she realised it was pointless and started using the hob.

    I wonder what unnecessary inventions I have in my house 🤔

    I love the bamboo steamers, we have a rice cooker that can steam as well. The rice cooker makes batch cooking rice a lot easier than using a pot.

    Oh excellent there was an Australian comedy cant remember for the life of me that was on around same time also I love gimme gimme gimme disliked little Britain but yes a good laugh and a certain sense of humour needed for The mighty boosh

    I'll have to put my thinking cap on and try and think what that Australian comedy was. If you've not checked out What We Do In The Shadows, you definitely should, I think that'd be right up your street. And it'd be great to keep your mind off other things for a while. 😊
