10 Of the Silliest Inventions Created In the 20th Century

11Hairdryer Hose

Although this looks weird in present day, perhaps it was the only technology available at the time for drying hair which is why it might have been popular among women and beauty spas. However it is redundant today as you have the portable hair dryer.

12Baby Hanger

Well! Imagine that!! An actual contraption to hang up a baby when you are occupied or go skating and need him safe but is it really? It also looks stupid to have two people carry around a baby like that when one would have done the trick.

13Portable Sauna

This looks more like a weird blob or balloon but having your portable sauna in those days was more of a social thing. Today of course saunas and gym are more the best area to stay healthy and socialize as well.

14Baby Cage

Why would one want to put a baby in a cage because it looks totally unsafe but perhaps its necessary to understand the age and time when such contraptions ultimately served as the base for improved ones such as the baby crib or playpen.

15Cigarette umbrella

Well, you can understand using visual enhancements in cocktails with paper or cloth umbrellas, but an umbrella over a cigarette for making it look more sophisticated is downright absurd and one of the silliest inventions of the time.
