1. LG Foldable TV- $125,861.07 CAD- Do you ever find yourself looking at a blank screen in a living room taking up space. The LG Foldable TV solves that. When you’re done using your TV, this device will roll itself up into the soundbar cupboard. So no ugly blank screens. Before you go on Amazon and buy this right now, note that this is $125,861.07 … So yeah.

2. Kodak Inflatable Screen- $349.99 CAD- Speaking of TVs, have you ever heard of an inflatable one? Kodak has made that. Kind of. Not really. This is more like an inflatable projector screen which is less exciting. I just click-baited you. Lol. There’s nothing left to talk about.

3. BMW iX Flow- Price TBD- A colour-changing car. Genius idea. Although it will probably never be released as this was only announced at CES (Consumers Electronic Show). You are also probably wondering how this is made possible. BMW used special LED panels to change colours from grey to black.

4. Razer Zephyr Mask- Electronic mask. Sounds like a good idea. Right? WRONG! Users report that this mask is incredibly uncomfortable and all it does is make it look bad. There is RGB lighting which draws attention, but studies say it isn’t even more protective even though it looks like it. So don’t waste your money.

5. Google Glass- $1,144.18- A smartphone on your head. Google was never commercially releasing Google Glass. This might have been a good decision as it may have caused accidents and problems. If it is illegal to text while driving on a smartphone then it is probably just as dangerous driving and texting using a pair of glasses.

These are the weirdest gadgets because they are ideas literally nobody asked for.
