  • Avocado on a stick?

  • A hands-free umbrella?

  • How about a 100-foot-long phone-charging cable?

  • These products seem almost too good to be true.

  • And, in a way, they are.

  • They aren't available in any store.

  • They are all one-off inventions created by this guy, Matt Benedetto.

  • So this invention is called the iDangle.

  • I came up with this one while I was laying in bed, watching Netflix.

  • And, you know, I was holding my phone above my head, slipped right out of my hand and just smacked me in the face..

  • Matt, who is an actual product designer, decided to use his expertise to create over-the-top products that solve problems we didn't know we had.

  • It would attach to your ceiling, and then this is a suction cup that attaches to your phone.

  • And dangles the phone just a few inches over your face.

  • You might have seen this next one before.

  • Avocado on a stick, his streamlined solution to a millennial's love for avocados.

  • All of his creations live on UnnecessaryInventions.com, the website he made for his fake company to convince people all the products are real.

  • Except, again, they most definitely are not.

  • So how does Matt create his unnecessary products that the internet can't resist?

  • A user on Reddit sent me this message, and it says...

  • Narrator: They all start with sketches and renderings.

  • This is a base for the fingers.

  • Matt then sends the design to his 3D printer.

  • Then he can start the process of making

  • the mold of his fingers.

  • He mixes the silicone that will fill the mold.

  • And adds a color that will mimic his skin tone.

  • After the silicone dries, it's ready to be removed.

  • Matt: Oh, my God.

  • So much better.

  • Narrator: Matt's process can vary

  • depending on the product,

  • but everything starts as sketches and 3D prints.

  • The last step is always the photo shoot.

  • Matt: I really try and set up my photo shoot

  • so that it looks like a real product.

  • Just to kinda confuse people thinking,

  • "No one would buy actually buy this, would they?"

  • Narrator: His products have garnered a large audience.

  • People have even asked him where

  • they can buy some of his inventions.

  • Matt: Some of my inventions do take a little bit of

  • photo and video magic to kind of make them look like

  • they might work a little better than they do.

  • I created the DroneBrella when I had a friend

  • that was complaining about trying to carry groceries,

  • talk on the phone, lock their car, and do

  • all these things at once while it was pouring rain out.

  • So I thought, what would be the easiest,

  • best way to kind of go hands-free?

  • So here we have the Cuisine Curtain.

  • It is the perfect accessory for anyone that chews

  • with their mouth open.

  • You just simply attach it to your nose,

  • and it perfectly covers your mouth

  • if you want to continue chewing with your mouth open.

  • After posting this online,

  • I had thousands of comments of people saying, like,

  • "Oh, I have an uncle at Thanksgiving that needs this."

  • "I have a boyfriend."

  • "I have this or that."

  • Everyone seemed to have somebody in their life

  • that chewed with their mouth open.

  • Narrator: And those are just a few.

  • The Is It Hot tells you if your drinks

  • are ready to drink or not.

  • And the TP Pleaser is a toilet-paper roller

  • for both people who like their toilet paper to roll under

  • and people who like their toilet paper to roll over.

  • Then there's the RealityCheck5000,

  • which lets you know just how many people

  • don't follow you on Instagram.

  • Matt's reasoning behind his fake company

  • is that he wants people to have fun seeing the products

  • he makes among the other ads we're bombarded by.

  • You can share your ideas with Matt

  • on the Unnecessary Inventions website.

  • It's where, he reminds us,

  • they are definitely not available.
