While generally a wholesome and friendly place, there are nonetheless some things in Sweden that are Terrifying. This is an ad for Bling Teeth, seen at the supermarket in those machines that sell gum and candy and baubles. For ten kroner your child can not only pretend to have a grill, but double the size of their forehead.
At the grocery store near my house, they also sell a range of household items, a few clothes, and this, a singing T-rex. There is a motion sensor that can be set to turn it on so that the dinosaur begins to roar and sing when someone approaches it. Due to the horrible speaker quality and perhaps weak batteries, it sounds instead like he is trying to communicate in a strange language while sobbing. It is an item that is disturbing not just in and of itself, but because there are so many on the shelf, suggesting actual demand for such a thing.
Here is an implement from our kitchen. I have been unable to discover its actual purpose, besides looking sinister.
This little device is not frightening at all, but just a complete mystery. While several of the items in the drawers of our kitchen are strange and/or ancient, most have a discernable use. But we haven't been able to even formulate a hypothesis for this one. If anyone has pertinent info, please advise.
