Not surprisingly, these adaptations did not take root.





Human imagination is limitless, because sometimes people come up with such ingenious inventions that they are ahead of their time. However, on the way for each new device or gadget, there was a mass of useless and failed inventions. Most of them have sunk into oblivion, and today we decided to shake up archival photos to show what oddities invented in the last century.

Do you think that the spinner is an invention of the 21st century? Oh no, turns out in France in the late 1960s invented spinners for spaghetti (from English spin - "rotation"). What do you think is better: a device that winds a long paste on itself, or children's toy?
