10. Extraterrestrial Balloons
Cost: $4.97*
Created by: illooms
Acquired at Walmart
This is a legitimate product that is available at retailers like Walmart; however, it’s unclear if the buyer received a faulty batch or failed to blow the balloon straight up. “SuperSize Light Up Alien Balloons” are available in a five-pack from Illooms. These two-foot-long green aliens have an eerie green glow thanks to LED illumination.
Reddit.com, @insertanamehere, and Alien Balloons
The balloon, when blown up by a customer, resembled a gigantic green eggplant with two dots for eyes rather than the item depicted on the box. The alien’s face had shrunk to miniscule proportions, and the remainder of its body appeared as though it had recently consumed a dozen footballs.
