Price: $9.98

You can get the “world’s most powerful facial” at Walmart. At least, that's what some celebrities and influencers have called this Indian Healing Clay. Perhaps part of the charm of this throwback beauty product is that the packaging looks like something from the 80s. According to the product page on Walmart, you can use this healing clay for body wraps and clay baths.

This is the perfect prank gift for your motorcycle fan friends or a fun purchase for yourself if you’re into gnomes or bikes or gnomes who ride bikes. These adorable biker gnomes figurines will probably make anyone crack a smile. You could put them outside the house to show everyone you’re a biker or set them up in the house as a conversation piece when you have guests over. After all, you’re never really too old or too young for gnomes.

Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.

Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.

Baby Mop Romper

Price: $11.43

Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of children, you will probably get a kick out of this Walmart item. Yes, it’s actually a baby mop romper. Say what? That’s right, this onesie is covered with microfiber cleaning fingers on the front. That means a kid can learn to crawl and do some work at the same time. You could call that a win-win. We do hope it goes without saying, though, that this is a joke product. You shouldn’t actually turn your grandkids into a self-propelled dust mop.

Dough Poop Toy

Price: $37.64

Sometimes, you have to wonder who has enough time on their hands to come up with products like this. To go along with many other poop-themed products, Walmart sells this poop-inspired modeling clay toy. According to the product page, it looks real but smells much better. You can use this prank poop whenever you’re in the mood for a little “toilet humor.”

Pickle Pops

Price: $9.99

These are deliciously dill. At least, that’s how Walmart describes these pickle pops. That’s right, just when you thought ice-pop flavors couldn’t get any better, you learn about pickle pops. But it doesn’t stop there. According to the company, these can help athletes rehydrate and prevent cramps. And really, who doesn’t love pickles?

Titan Casket

Price: $899

The same retailer that offers low prices on grocery staples also offers a variety of caskets for purchase. Some options are even under $1,000. Given that, according to Memorial Planning, the average cost of a casket is around $2,000 to $5,000, these are good prices. Walmart also has urns for sale.

Instant Audience

Price: $11.75

If you’re looking for a special way to boost your self-esteem, perhaps this Instant Audience Noisemaker will do the trick. Who doesn’t want to give themselves some applause but have it sound like it’s coming from someone else? You could also use this product and its booing audience sound for a fun time with a partner or friend.

Beer Jelly Beans

Price: $8.44

Let’s start with the bad news: These are jelly beans, not actual beer. Now, the good news: Reviewers say they taste like freshly poured draft beer. But wait, there’s more. They come in a fun keepsake tin. You can use it for change or storage after you finish your beer. Here’s another good thing about having your beer this way: You won’t have to go to work the next day with a hangover (unless you count a sugar hangover).
