At an awards ceremony hosted by Choice - this year's 10 shonkiest products on the market were named and shamed at the NSW Art Gallery this afternoon. In no particular order, the real top 10 shonkiest products of the year, according to Choice, were:
1. Life Miracle's Magnetic Laundry System, which featured two magnetic balls that you put in your washing machine instead of detergent. They cost $80.
2. Nuk Starlight Silicone Soother, a dummy that was considered a choking hazard for children.
3. Oxygen4life Oxygen Therapy in a Bottle. Ten millilitres a day of the product's "bio-available oxygen" purportedly "enhanced quality of life".
The product cost $55 for a 250 millilitre bottle of de-ionised water, Atlantic sea salt and bio-available oxygen.
4. Seagers Gin and Tonic with a squeeze of lime. Sounds quite good, except there is no gin in the ready-to-drink can. There is vodka though, which kind of makes up for the lack of gin, except for the fact there is no quinine [which makes tonic water "tonic"] or lime either.
5. Mean credit cards. Choice said eight major credit card providers were playing nasty tricks with interest rates on their customers.
6. Lean Cuisine "Purely Fish" range. The only thing this product was lean on was its fish content - just 48 per cent.
