Top 10 Gadgets That Should Have Existed When We Were Kids

10. You Can Now Sh#t Gold

Price: $425.00
Whoever invented these needs to go on to Dragons Den. We would love to see the look on the Dragons’ faces when they are asked to invest.
You can now literary go to the toilet and make yourself some money thanks to these 24k-gold leaf, capsules. Although these golden pills are probably what rich guys eat when they get bored, they would have amazed you as a child if it wasn’t for the required bank loan.
Hey, if worst come to worst you can say that you have just taken a dump that has just cost you almost $500. Just make sure you wrap it in tin foil so you can get it valued by these “we buy any gold” stores.

9. Marshmallow Bow

Price:$24.99
As sweets go marshmallows are sh#te. If your mum came home from the shop and surprised you with sweets to then reveal she had bought you marshmallow you wanted to slap her in the face. But now there is such a thing as a Marshmallow Bow everything changes. In fact, we even feel we could get into these white, fluffy balls of disappointment – If you live in the UK you will probably know marshmallows as “Flumps”.
Best tell your sister to stand at least 30 feet away or she is going to get pelted with 25 mini marshmallows to the face.

8. The Working Pedal Powered Forklift

Price $319.95
The chances are if you drive a forklift for a living you will most likely hate your job. But as a kid nothing would excite you more than pretending you were driving your own forklift around the garden. We had to rely on our imagination, but the new generation of kids simply don’t need to when they can mission about on a toy forklift. Just too bad it isn’t battery operated.
If we had our own Working Pedal Powered Forklift growing up we would have most definitely tried to lift the shed up in the garden. Oh, and for you forklift junkies, you will be pleased to know it’s a Linde 394 replica – means nothing to us like.

6. The Hand Shovel

Price: $14.99
What do you get when a JCB and a boy touches some of the “chemical X” from the TV show Power Puff Girls? The Handtrux Backhoe of course.

Now this is most definitely a product that should have been around back in the day. There is just something when you’re a young boy about digging as deep of a hole as you can when you visit a beach. We mean you could spend hours on end being quite happy and content just digging away – a parent’s dream. The only problem is it would take you 2 hours to dig just 2 foot deep. But if the Handtrux Backhoe was around we would have probably ended up in Australia in 2 hours.

5. Create Your Own Guitar Picks

Price:$24.95
Apart from the fact that your mum would have kicked your ass after she found her credit cards with guitar-pick-shaped holes in them, this Pick Punch would have been pretty cool. As kids you’re constantly go through stages and one of them usually being the “guitar phase” which is usually after watching Back to the Future for the first time. If like us you lost your guitar picks all the time then this Pick Punch would have definitely come in handy.

4. Game Boy Soap

Price:$10
As a kid, bath times weren’t that great. In fact, we would have done anything to avoid them. But if we had these bars of soap that looked like old-school Nintendo Game Boys then it would have been an entirely different matter. With the attention to detail which includes: A and B buttons, Start and Select, Tetris gameplay and more, what kid inside of you wouldn’t want some nostalgia.
Plus, who doesn’t want to smell of Chocolate Truffles? Costume scents are also available upon request.

3. Snowball Slingshot

Price: $25
A snow ball fight as a kid always seemed like a good idea until you were three snow balls in and your hands felt like they were going to drop off at any second. But the kids of today don’t need to worry about that: “Ain’t nobody got time for that”. Introducing the WHAM-O SnowBall Blaster. The only thing the product is missing is “300″ at the end of its name. And with a range of up to 80 feet and the ability to store 3 premade snowballs, it looks like the kids wouldn’t have called for you when it WAS snowing.

2. Power-Up Arcade Light Switch Plate

$9.99
As we live in the UK, we were never exposed to arcades as kids, but we did watch the movie Terminator 2 and Lil John Connor looked like he was having fun in the arcade and we were always envious of him. The closest we came to arcades was seaside resorts such as Blackpool which had amusements and although not as magical as abroad’s equivalents, we were still happy to be there none the less. If you were a U.S. kid then you most likely slept and ate arcades.
Either way, why wouldn’t anyone want a joystick for a light switch which includes two red buttons with “pew pew pew” sounds?

1. Sheriff’s Rubber Band Shotgun

Price: $35.00
Imagine a device where you are able to load up to 10 rubber bands at once and then choose one of three methods to fire! Well, our friends, this figment of your imagination can now be a reality. Introducing “The Sheriff”, a 10 rubber band loaded shotgun.
Three firing methods:

Single Shot Mode – Shoot one rubber band at a time. Then pump the actuator back (just like a real shotgun) to reload the next elastic band.
Rapid Fire Mode – Fires your entire rubber band ammo one after the other – just like an automatic.
Shotgun Blast Mode – Fire all your loaded ammo at once to simulate a scatter blast. No one will be able to escape the spread of “laggy bands”.
