Doesn’t have to be thousands of dollars. Just a thing you spent money on that turned out to be a complete waste.

    Not worst, but it’s been very hit or miss on Kickstarter. There were some good things that came from it buuut…

    1. Coolest. Yes I did end up getting one, but never used the cooler itself. The only thing that got use was the Bluetooth speaker, which I used so much it killed the battery. When I was getting ready to move, the coolest was in pristine condition but the internal battery (for the blender and phone charging) was completely shot, and I had newer better coolers so I set it by the curb.

    2. Andromium Superbook. This was supposed to be a netbook sized device that you plug your android into turning it into a “laptop”. Nothing ever came from it, reports of being a scam or someone embezzled the money.

    3. Polygons. Measuring cups and spoons which are a single piece of plastic that can “fold in” to different measures sizes. These seemed kinda slick but “production issues” blah blah “suppliers” yadda yadda, still nothing after a decade.

    4. Bears vs Babies. A card game which turned out to be boring and shitty.

    5. Nuvi Sleep Mask. A sleep mask which pairs to your phone that’s supposed to help sleep by setting up light pulses etc. I could never get the app to work so a total bust

    6. Flyte socks. Fun “bold” colorful socks. Stitching tore putting the damn socks on

    7+. Various comic books. Backing a couple and finally reading them…you can tell why they had to seek funding on Kickstarter and otherwise couldn’t find a publisher for these stories.
