Here’s a List of the 11 Absolute Weirdest Things to Buy Online

The internet is the biggest shopping center in the world. From food to furniture to homes and everything in between, anything you can dream of you can probably buy online.

But with more than 1.9 billion websites online right now, sifting through them all to find the perfect gifts or crazy purchases would be impossible.

That’s why we’re bringing the crazy right to you. Keep reading to learn about 11 of the weirdest things to buy online.

1. Unicorn Meat

This is more than just an example of a weird thing to buy online; unicorn meat would be pretty weird to buy anywhere.

While a quick search on Amazon will make it seem that mystical creature could be on your dinner table tonight, it won’t make for a very magical meal. That’s because inside of the very convincing can of Unicorn Meat, you’ll find a dismembered, stuffed version of the horned horse of lore.

If you think there are dozens of more practical things you could drop 20 bucks on besides a shredded stuffed animal jammed in a can, you’re probably right. But if you’re looking for a quirky gag gift, you can’t go wrong with canned unicorn meat.

2. A Glitter Bomb

While canned unicorn is sure to get you some laughs, if you’re looking for a gag gift that’s less humor and more pranks, this weird gift is for you.

The Glitter Bomb is exactly what it sounds like: a package stuffed with glitter. Send it to a friend or your worst enemy, then sit back and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing it’ll take weeks for them to clean up the mess.

3. Live Bugs

While many of the weird things to buy on the internet included on this list are gags, this item is intended to serve a more practical purpose.

Ladybugs are the natural enemy of a number of pests, including aphids and mites. Releasing them in your garden or even just the landscaping around your home can help keep other, less pleasant insets away.

Of course, sending a friend a packet full of dozens of live ladybugs would make a great gag, just as long as your friend is the type to release them to safety afterward.

4. Pet Rocks (With Leashes)

If you don’t feel like stepping outside to search for the perfect pet rock to brighten up your life, don’t fret.

For around 13 dollars, you can have one delivered right to your doorstep. Plus, he or she will never need food or water, and while a leash is included, you can walk it without leaving the couch.

5. A Real Human Skull

Among the crazy things you can buy online or off, real human skulls might just be the weirdest.

In fact, as you scroll through the pages of SkullsUnlimited’s website, you might think you’ve stumbled into the dark web.

But these skulls are neither illegally sourced or clever fakes. They are the real deal, obtained through legal sources. You’ll also find plenty of other bones and skulls from humans and a variety of animals.

6. Potato Mail

Snail mail might be on the decline, but the internet is spurring the growth of another popular mail item: gag gifts.

If glitter bombs are too messy or fun for your intended target, potato mail is a good alternative.

If you’re wondering exactly what potato mail is, the name says it all. It’s a regular old potato shipped directly to your recipient. You can either send it plainly, with no return address, for maximum confusion for your recipient or dress it up with a message for your friend or loved one.

7. Military Tanks

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a tank or other heavy military machinery, you might think your only option are replicas or perhaps a stage prop from an action movie.

But believe it or not, one of the craziest things you can buy online is a real, working tank.

While you’ll find tanks and other machinery throughout the web, if you want to ensure you’re getting the real thing and getting it legally, Mortar Investments, a website for a company based in Prague, is a good place to start your search.

Unlike many of the other crazy items for sale included on this list, you’ll need to do more than simply choose your tank and submit a payment. Buying, selling, and shipping these machines requires plenty of paperwork.

If you’re looking to sell them and find that getting authorized for a credit card for your business is next to impossible, click to read more here about other financing options.

8. A Simulated Smartphone

Smartphones for sale are far from a rarity on the web. But the iPhone or Android you’re carrying in your pocket isn’t the smartphone we’re referring to.

Simulated smartphones look and feel just like your cell. What makes them so crazy is that they are little more than a paperweight; they have no batteries, no screen, no working parts whatsoever.

These simulated smartphones actually aren’t designed to be toys or gag gifts. Instead, they are part of a movement to help people break their unhealthy attachment to their smartphones.

If you suffer from this problem, this device might be the perfect solution for you. Carry the simulated smartphone around while you wean yourself off of your normal smartphone.

9. Poop

Some gag gifts are getting for getting a few laughs. Others are a fun way to let your friends and family know that you’re thinking of them.

But there are some gag gifts that are better suited for getting back at an annoying neighbor, a bothersome coworker, or that rude friend.

Luckily, the internet offers an easy solution. Poop, mailed anonymously, to the recipient of your choosing.

10. A Pickle That Sings

White elephant and secret Santa gift exchanges just got a whole lot easier.

That’s because the internet is home to a plastic pickle that yodels with just a simple click of a button.

11. UFO Detector

Don’t let an alien abduction catch you off guard.

Rounding out our list of weird stuff you can buy online is a UFO detector. Even if you don’t believe in the extraterrestrial, you’ll get a funky looking conversation starter!
