Target is pretty much a one-stop shop for everything on your shopping list. From groceries to car accessories, power tools to diapers, the retail store has it all, and usually at prices you can afford.
Additionally, there are some weird Target products you never knew you needed _ probably because you had no idea they existed. Next time you're shopping at Target, keep your eye peeled for these bizarre but awesome shopping deals.
SUNSCREEN FLASK _ $9.99
You can buy Target's super-stealth sunscreen flask for a mere $9.99. This cute orange flask holds 8 { ounces of liquid and looks exactly like a container of sunblock.
Of course, we're not recommending that anyone break the law. However, it might interest you to know that certain states _ including sunny, beach-covered California _ impose a $250 ticket on individuals who violate their anti-open container laws. Just make sure you don't mix up your sunscreen flask with the container holding the actual lotion.
WORLD'S LARGEST GUMMY BEAR _ $34.99
Lions, tigers and giant gummy bears _ oh my! This sugar bomb is over 1,000 times the size of a regular gummy bear and has a heart-stopping 12,600 calories. Weighing in at a whopping 5 pounds, this treat is perfect for sharing. Although we'd recommend this beary adorable item for a kids' Halloween party or your office's holiday gift exchange, you might want to find something else to give your diabetic friend on her next birthday.
NOSTALGIA SUGAR-FREE COTTON CANDY MAKER _ $39.99
For about $40, this magic machine turns your favorite sugar-free hard candies into a carnival-style cotton candy treat. According to the product description on the Target website, simply put the candy in the machine and turn it on to enjoy scrumptious spun sugar. It's not totally clear how this process works. However, in this case, ignorance might really be sugar-free, chemically-altered bliss.
BABY BANANA BRUSH _ $5.39
If you're shopping at Target, don't forget to check out this infant "toothbrush" that doubles as a teether. The banana shape is supposed to be easy to hold, and the soft bristles help gently cleanse your baby's teeth and relieve gum pain. Not only is this item BPA-free, but it's also dishwasher safe and can be frozen to help cool sensitive gums.
As an added bonus, you can start to teach your small one good dental hygiene habits early on.
PIRANHA FLOATING POOL HABITAT _ $31.49
If you want to enjoy some fun in the sun this summer, consider purchasing a piranha for your home pool _ a plastic one, that is.
This pool toy boasts some great features, including a pyramid construction that keeps it from tipping over. Additionally, it's quick to inflate, and there are four openings for easy access. All you have to do is convince your kids to jump into the plastic piranha's gaping red mouth to enjoy some floating fun.
