I guess you can’t win them all. And that seems to be the case for Hasbro’s latest stinker, The Play-Doh Stink Star.

Hasbro's Play-Doh Stink Star

Hasbro described this toy as “a way for your child to add fun to their boring bathroom activities. The Stink Star is also a fun, exciting way to potty train your toddlers.”

How it Works (paraphrasing the directions)

• Step 1: When it is time to poop, gently place the yellow “Stink Star” play piece between your butt cheeks, right underneath the anus.
• Step 2: Poop
• Step 3: Watch as your feces comes out in a fun STAR shape!
• Step 4: Cut any dangling participles with the red “Stink Star” scissors.
• Step 5: Repeat

Obviously, there are many problems with this “toy”. For one, it is absolutely disgusting. Two, it is virtually impossible for kids to use this without parental supervision. Thirdly, a kid could accidentally stick this small piece of plastic up their butt, causing much pain and embarrassment. And finally, if you have the chocolate squirts, this toy is useless.

Fortunately for Hasbro, the Stink Star didn’t make it out of the few test markets they tested it in and–until now–it has gone virtually unkown to the general public. Thankfully, the parents and children in Des Moines, Iowa (the largest test market) gave Hasbro the thumbs down and ended the product’s life before it really started.

THE SHIT KNIFE

I am lucky enough to have met a guy who at one time in his life ate a consistent diet of mostly cheese and ice cream. As you can imagine, this dairy diet does wonders to the digestive system.
Well…when it was time to “release the hate”…his poopy turned out to be extremely large. So large, in fact, that it needed to be cut up in order to be flushed down the toilet. So, his mother used a bread knife to chop it up.
His diet didn’t change, so of course, this happened more than once. The bread knife—now dubbed the Shit Knife—was kept under the bathroom sink in a cardboard sheath for future use.

That is the Shit Knife….

NOW YOU KNOW!
