Broken Wine Glass
Yep. This picture is as wacky as the thought process behind it. Instead of tossing out the broken glassware as any regular, sane person would do, this crazy engineer decided to use rubber bands and straws to connect the base of the wine glass to the glass itself. As you can clearly see from this picture, the angle of the glass does not instill confidence that it can hold your wine properly, but that’s properly the entire problem behind this makeshift solution.

This is a pretty old picture, and we don’t know how well this rubber-band-and-plastic-straw solution held up. Probably not very well, as everyone, including the mastermind behind this, could probably tell.
