Amazon is the world's weirdest marketplace.

Cat's Butt Tissue Holder

People buy millions of different items from Amazon.com. It really is as if the company has any kind of product that you can imagine. With that in mind, I began to wonder what the weirdest items I could find might be. It didn’t take long for me to find a treasure trove of the bizarre and fantastically tacky items one might find on the world’s largest online shopping marketplace.

While I object entirely to Amazon as both a business and a concept, I can’t help but revel in the silliness of some of the items on their platform. And yes, I know, some of these items are intentional novelties, but they're still really weird.

Here are 10 of the Weirdest Items I could find on Amazon.com

10. ESP and Your Pet - Sadly this 1982 book by the late author D Scott Rogo, is not available at this time. Sadly, you will have to find other books to tell you if your pet has Extra Sensory Perception. Perhaps, "Is Your Pet Psychic" by author Richard Webster or, for the cat lovers, Psychic Jean Dixon's Bestseller, I assume, "Do Cats Have ESP?"

Side note, sadly author D. Scott Rogo was murdered in 1990 and his killer was never caught. Perhaps, someone should try to ask his cat?

9. Poop Like A Champion® High Fiber Cereal, Low Carb, Keto Friendly, Clean Label, Gluten Free Cereal - 0% Gluten, 9g Net Carbs, 16g Fiber per bowl - NO Wheat CLEAN LABEL PRODUCT! NOW Non-GMO! - You can’t make this up. Someone named their product, Poop Like a Champion and somehow this product is available on Amazon. The product description is glorious

THIS IS NOT MERE CEREAL, it’s the ultimate colon cleansing formula

POOP LIKE A CHAMPION isn't made to taste great, it’s MADE to WORK GREAT!

YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE FROM THE BOTTOM UP.”

And, of course, the reviews are wonderful as well…

“We needed to make a quick run to Walmart, and as soon as I stepped in the door it hit me. I had to go. Like right then. Luckily, the restrooms were by the front entrance. I'd like to take a moment to express my deepest condolences to anyone that was in the other stalls in the restroom. It wasn't pretty. And I couldn't stop going. I remember thinking, "So this is how I'm going to die. In a Walmart restroom." When I finally returned to the store, my husband looked concerned.”

8. Cat Butt Tissue Holder - Black & White Tuxedo - Fits Standard Square Tissue Box - Resin

There are really no words to describe the disturbed human mind that thought “What if I could pull tissues out of a cat's butt?”

From the product description: “QUALITY MATERIALS - Each Cat Butt tissue holder is made of molded resin that's easy to clean and designed to last. Hand wash in warm soapy water when needed.”

7. Nicolas Cage Reversible Sequin Throw Pillow - Have you ever wanted to have Nicolas Cage’s face sitting on your couch? There’s a product for that. Meet the Merrycolor Throw Sequin Comedy Throw Pillow. Nowhere in the description is Nicolas Cage mentioned and yet, there is no denying that when you turn over the sequins on the pillow, the star of Face Off and Broken Arrow is staring back at you. I’m guessing this is not an officially licensed Nicolas Cage product but, who knows, he’s kind of a weird dude.

6. Putin Shrimp Magnet - How can one express their love for both Mother Russia and their love of seafood? This question has been pondered for years and, until now, has gone unanswered. Behold, President Vladimir Putin’s face on a shrimp. For SIX DOLLARS you can have the face of Russia’s deadly leader on a shrimp on your refrigerator.

5. The Handihorse - Are you tired of buying your children actual toys that they might enjoy playing with? Amazon has a product just for you and that horse loving child in your family. Meet the Handihorse. It’s a horse costume for your fingers. Now you can dress your hand up like a horse and pretend you have a horse for a hand.

Actual Product Description (accidentally sounds dirty): “fingered fist to fantastic filly”

4. 3D Simulated 3D Bread Shape Plush Pillow,Soft Butter Toast Bread Food - English may not be this seller’s first language but nevertheless, they have a hit product on their hands with this simulated bread shaped plush butter toast bread food. No joke, I ran this by two of my friends and they both said they would sleep with this bread. Weird as this product is, it does look comfy and maybe throw in a cheesy throw and a butter comforter and you have a unique bedroom theme. It's also a great way to mock friends who have gluten allergies.

3. Umbrella Hat - Hey, are you too lazy to simply hold an umbrella? Are you so selfish that you only wish to keep your own head dry from the rain? The Umbrella Hat is the product for you. I honestly cannot tell if this is a novelty product or a real product. It looks and reads as legit but it also looks ridiculous. Reviews indicate that it works but those same reviews also mostly discussed buying this ludicrous hat as a gag gift, so, you decide if it’s legit or not.

2. The Buttress Pillow - Say, have you managed to convince the world that you weren’t a creep? Well, buy this pillow and leave absolutely no doubt about your creep status. The Buttress Pillow is a pillow shaped like a butt. There’s no other way to describe it and the makers are leaving no ifs, ands or butts about their intentions with this product. The makers of The Buttress Pillow claim that it ‘relieves anxiety’ but just thinking about the people who have purchased the Buttress Pillow only increases my personal anxiety.

1. Real Human Finger Bones - I really thought this was a fake but no, here it is. Someone on Amazon.com is selling actual, human finger bones. No, they do not specify where they came from.

Naturally, the reviews are impeccable: (Have fun sleeping after this)

5 Stars: Lighter than I thought. A bit eroded around the knuckle but nice.

5 Stars: it was funny to scare my mom with this. she freaked out. But, isn’t selling human bones illegal???

5 Stars: Will order again (Don’t think about this review for too long)

5 Stars: Great shipping time, good product, good price (See above)

5 Stars: Pretty Sweet! It's a human freaking bone and I own it now. That's awesome, really. The only thing more I could ask of the seller is a profile of the person it was from :( (Yes, they did include the sadface emoji.)
