Or the “Things You Never Knew Existed” catalogs, which were by the guys that used to sell a bunch of the stuff in the back of comics, Boys’ Life, etc (Johnson Smith Company) - X-Ray specs, fake dog poop, etc. But on steroids. Selling huge magnet things, car kits, Mr Mooney dolls, weird statues, magic kits, fake rocks, etc.
Edit: LOL, I found one. Man, brings me back to going through as a 9 year od:
I convinced my mom to let me order some kind of “mega mind obelisk” from one of those. She kept saying how stupid it will be and I will regret it. “Be a good lesson learned”.
Until it showed up. I got a 6” tall marble obelisk that was the coolest thing ever. Didn’t teach me anything, but I had it for a long time and thought it was neat to look at.
