7. JamJar
Bluetooth speakers are quite useful, you might have used one to listen to some tunes, but, have you seen a Jar that can work as a Bluetooth speaker? Well, the product that we are talking about is the JamJar, which is quirky and, frankly, a poor decision.

This is simply a joke, and even if you have extra cash, you can spend that money elsewhere.
