Seemingly daft but actually excellent products or things
Discussion
OK, I thought it may be fun and interesting for people to share their opinion of things that seem like a proper stupid idea, but which are actually bloody awesome! It can be anything, products, things, services whatever!
I have three for now.
1. Cushelle scented toilet roll (seemingly only from Waitrose and Ocado now!). It's excellent and worth a try for sure.
2. The new Yorkshire Tea "Biscuit teabags". A real WTF is that about but remarkably excellent! ! !
3. Homebase sell these long narrow bottle brushes (like 18 inch long) that you can clean plugholes out with, they're about £4 and work brilliantly!!

This.
I wish we could get it in more than 40's.
Sadly, we have to make a special trip to ASDA for it, which is terrifying as we all know, but it is worth the risks you have to take!
Hedgehog gutter brush.
Bought lengths to put in my pathway drains and wish I'd known about them sooner. They 'fill' the drain with bristles, preventing leaves and crap from blocking the drain. Obviously you have to wash them out occasionally but once a season is better than every other day when you live under the canopy of a massive oak tree.

I bought an almost identical one in Sainsburys a couple of years ago for a fiver.https://www.marksandspencer.com/stretch-web-buckle...
I suspect the makers of Wetwipes were surprised that consumers fell in love with the very simple idea of , erm, wiping your fanjazzie with
fragrant tissues that are damp.
They are so popular that they are almost single-handedly responsible for the breakdown of our sewage system.
Triangular teabags are still f**ing stupid and fool no-one..
Stop making them eh ?

These may have been used on a chemical plant to prevent a rapidly scaling blockage. Unforeseen shutdown - a day or more shutdown and if you still have any circulating disel type fluids they can at best be tried through the lines to prevent naptha solidification, leave it 48 hrs, and you are onto either "McHomebase" jerry-rigged rodding out tools. I won't say this is an INEOS plant as INEOS didn't own it at the time it was BP Grangemouth.I've heard of cat litter / diatamaceous earth used as an absorbent in nuclear fuel flasks to dry the last remains of water out.
And "inflatable" butt plugs used to seal pipe leakage. I'll let you guess which came first there, the process plant experience or the human idea. Either way, fills the pipe if that floats your boat.
