Stupid Junk for Your Baby - Part 1

I've seen a lot of useless, tacky, and downright stupid baby products in my time, in fact I have a whole stack of promotional materials from completely ridiculous companies selling completely ridiculous baby products. I've been meaning to post some of them here so that we can all have a good laugh and wonder who buys this junk.

Let's see if you can guess what kinds of products this company sells:


Hmmm, THAT'S MY BRAT. Well...this is a tough one, isn't it? I'm a little shocked at the whole concept of um, *proudly* saying something like that. Or proclaiming that your child is royally spoiled.

At my house when we give compliments, we say that someone is smart, or talented, or polite, or kind. "That's my _____!". Brat is not the first word that comes to mind to fill in the blanks of that sentence.

Now what if I tell you that this company sells photo frames? Well, kind of odd, I suppose.

Now what if I tell you that this company sells photo frames for ultrasound scan printouts? Because an ordinary frame wouldn't do, right? You need a SPECIAL FRAME for that printout. A frame that proclaims proudly, THAT'S MY BRAT! Because a fetus can still be bratty, what with all that kicking and stuff. I know, huh. That royally spoiled behavior in utero drives me crazy.

Oh but wait, I'm getting confused again, because it's a GOOD thing to be royally spoiled, right? I keep forgetting. Like it's a good thing to be a brat. And not just anyone's brat, but my brat...there in the ultrasound photo.

Who buys this stuff? Who does this marketing appeal to? The mind boggles.
