Weirdest Items You Can Buy from Daiso or Don Don Donki

When it comes to quirky, offbeat, and straight-up bizarre finds, few stores do it better than Daiso and Don Don Donki. Whether you’re looking to add some weirdness to your everyday life or just want a hilarious conversation starter, these Japanese retail giants have got you covered. From wacky gadgets to oddly practical innovations, here are some of the strangest things you can snag from their shelves.

DAISO

1. Let’s Make Ramen Tool Set

Why settle for plain ol’ playdough when you can craft your own pretend ramen? This playful toolset lets you make mini noodle masterpieces out of clay (or playdough) but heads up, the clay isn’t included, so you’ll need to stock up first. Perfect for future noodle chefs or anyone looking to relive their childhood in the weirdest way possible. Watch it in action!

2. Chair Leg Foot Covers

Cute and functional? Say less. These adorable covers slip onto your chair legs to keep them from scratching floors or making that screeching noise that could turn your neighbor against you. They’re a low-key lifesaver, especially if you live in a thin-walled apartment. Bonus: they come in fun designs because plain furniture is just boring.

3. Sausage Cutter Set

Kyaraben (character bento) is serious business in Japan, and this sausage cutter set makes it easier to add some flair to your lunch. Transform your basic Vienna sausages into tiny octopuses, chicks, or pigs because why eat boring food when it can be cute and a little creepy? We’re still scratching our heads over the top sausage design, though.

4. Splat Poo Ball

Feeling stressed? Throw some poo literally. This squishy, slimy poo ball splats on surfaces and magically reshapes itself. It’s weird, it’s gross, and it’s weirdly satisfying. A perfect desk toy or an unconventional gift for that one chaotic friend we all have.

DON DON DONKI

1. Wasabi KitKat

Japan’s KitKat game is unmatched, and the wasabi flavor takes the crown for weirdness. We haven’t been brave enough to try them, but if you love a kick of spice with your chocolate, this one’s for you. Are they sweet? Are they spicy? Only one way to find out.

2. Handy Beer Server

Who needs a bartender when you have this beer-foaming gadget? It delivers the perfect frothy head on your beer, right from your own fridge. The wildest part? One version features a tiny cupid peeing into your glass. Classy? Debatable. Hilarious? Absolutely.

3. Vermicelli Peeler

Level up your healthy eating game with this quirky veggie peeler that turns your produce into thin, noodle-like strips. Say goodbye to carb-heavy pasta and hello to zucchini spaghetti. It’s the tool you didn’t know you needed but now totally want.

4. Peach-Scented Toilet Paper

Why should your bathroom routine be boring? With this peach-scented toilet paper, even your trips to the loo can be a sweet-smelling experience.
