12. Vibrating Harry Potter Broom
A grooved stick and handle for easy riding the tagline boasted and that was a good thing because most girls who sat on it, they never wanted to get off it. The Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Broom was perfectly replicated by toy giant Mattel, and it seemed like the perfect gift for any harry potter obsessed child. The problem for Mattel but a bonus for the rider was the inbuilt vibrating feature which I assume was designed to mimic the broom flying through the air. After parents realised why their daughters were spending too much time with the broom, they complained to Mattel after furiously removing the batteries first. Mattel then realised they had a problem when it came to their attention that sex shops in New York were selling the vibrating broom so they quickly withdrew the broom from sale. And now it has become a heavily sought after item on eBay.
