Inventors have given us some important things throughout the years. Thanks to brilliant minds, we have cars, airplanes, computers and more. The list goes on. You might not realize it, but those brilliant minds also created some duds.
There is an incredibly long list of inventions that never quite made it. (If only someone could invent something that made us less awful at trying to invent things.) Someone, at some point, actually thought these inventions were good ideas. D’oh.
1. Jack For Boot Removal
2. Vacuum Beauty Helmet
3. Corset With Expandable Busts
4. Ventilating Hat
5. Hair In A Can
6. Double Spectacles

Really? Those are some truly terrible ideas. Whoever invented those should be ashamed, though not as ashamed as the few people who actually purchased their products.
