It is a federal offense to misuse either. A big example is Round-up. As soon as the dandelions come out people spray that shit all over the lawn. Dandelions don't pick up any nutrients or pesticides when they are flowering, they use up what was stored the previous late summer and fall. That is when you apply roundup.

Bamboo skewers...

On the subject of Q-tips, they are always in the Baby Products section in Philly drugstores. Wouldn't it be dangerous to poke a cotton swab around a baby's face/ears?

Like it says, products that are misused (as opposed to their intended purpose).

I'll start:

Tennis shoes
Screwdrivers
Pocket knives
The internet

Even after I explained it, she thought I was completely making it up. This is the same woman who once gave my son a toy called a "Ballzac" and could not understand what was so funny.

My lawn mower

It is used for knocking down mole hills in the lawn, clearing paths through the woods,
taking down the garden in autumn, clearing blackberry vines, etc.

It takes a lickin' but keeps on...


We don't talk about my chain saw in public.

you have a better product for that?

Crocs being used as footwear in public. Or indeed in private. I don't know if Crocs exist in other countries. If not, Google it, and you will agree.
