“There is No Such Thing as a Fool-Proof System”: These Inventions Were the Result of People’s Stupidity

Well, it looks like we’ve hit a new low in the world of stupidity. Toothpick directions? Are you kidding me? What’s next, a user manual for a Q-tip? Some people might not know the best way to use a toothpick, but come on, it’s not rocket science. You pick up the toothpick and stick it in between your teeth… That’s it.

You move it back and forth, and voila! Clean teeth. But here’s a novel idea – instead of wasting money on a package of toothpick directions, maybe just educate people on proper oral hygiene in general. Or better yet, invest in a water flosser and save yourself the hassle of picking toothpicks out of your gums.
