From George Takei...
In the midst of our shopping, we've all seen those warning labels on product packaging that leave us absolutely rolling our eyes. Who could possibly need to be warned about that?
But since the warning exists, we have to assume that someone made that mistake at some point.
There's the added fun of unnecessary products that no one should believe would work.
But just like the directions, there seems to be a marketable need for every product and direction.
Redditor 98_percent_simian asked: "What product is marketed pretty much exclusively to stupid people?"
Here are the categories and one person's opinion in each...
Bedroom Enhancers
Detox Culture
Trust Your Body
Paid Social Media Features
Ulterior Motives
Conspiracy Theories
MLM Culture
Headache Relief
Essential Oils
Diet Culture
Got Fight Milk?
Questionable Movement
Gambling Opportunities
Inaccurate Results
Vacation Points
Here's the LINK.
And if you want to read some HOA stories, here's another LINK.

Some of those things are pretty silly.
Marketing to the stupid seems to pay well.
River - A lot of them.
Sue - "There's a sucker born every minute," P.T. Barnum. And we're all suckers if we believe PT said that. He didn't.
George Takei is a national treasure. But I don't know how the blog post (actually written by Mckenzie Tozan, not George Takei) missed such gems as "Republican Talking Points" and "Health Water."
You know what PT Barnum said.
Bill - I used George because most people know him.
Deb - You missed what I commented to Sue. š
I'm sure there's some category the article didn't cover, but I can't figure out what it might be.
Kathy - A marketing department can come up with infinite categories.
Gosh, there's so much unnecessary crap being sold!
Cloudia - And I need ALL OF IT!
