Whether or not you're using pacifiers for your child, we can all agree that a pacifier made of 24-carat gold isn't exactly what you're looking for. People want to look good with nice accessories, but why create huge corn or egg earrings as an accessory?

Or, on the other hand, you can be the judge and decide whether you could truly use some of the inventions below. Here, we want to express our amazement and shock altogether, considering these 15 unique inventions that we’re not sure are truly helpful or not.
