Don’t Plug It In
This part matters.
Do not plug it in.
Even if the plug looks real, the item was never meant to work as an appliance. The cord may also be old, brittle, or unsafe.
Take a picture. Laugh at it. Put it on a shelf.
Leave the outlet alone.
A Perfect Piece of Oddball Nostalgia
The Electric Toilet Tissue gag gift is exactly the kind of weird object that makes cleaning out an old house interesting.
One minute, everyone is sorting boxes. The next, someone is holding up a plugged-in corn cob and asking, “What was Grandpa into?”
Then the answer turns out to be simple.
He had a sense of humor.
That’s what makes this little gag gift worth remembering. It’s goofy, harmless, and deeply corny in every possible way.
Not bad for a corn cob with a cord.
