Welcome to Edition 159 of What Is This Thing?, my recurring visual riddle series consisting of one simple photo - see above - and one simple question: what is this thing?...
Cat Toiletry Bag & Organizer

Geez. I ran at least 20 Halloween costumes and decorations in August. Three of them even made it onto...
Inflatable Bear Suit
This Inflatable Bear Suit from Candy Coated Squeaks isn't quite as baffling as the design shop's Inflatable Beach Ball Underwear, but...it's still a little baffling. And still potentially deadly, I'd think, albeit due...

Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey poses the question, "What happens when Christopher Robin abandons his beloved childhood friends Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore?" And then...they answer it...

Great Wrap Compostable Cling Wrap

Not only does the term "caulk condom" create a tee-hee-hee double entendre, but these caulk-saving caps also look like little sperms when unrolled. What a great reminder gift for men to protect both their open caulk so...
National Geographic 200-Foot Rocket Launcher
