Everyone knows what regular things like a computer mouse, a stapler, or a bag of chips look like. But, as it turns out, there are computer mice with built-in calculators, pen-shaped staplers, and totally black bags of chips.
We at Bright Side have found some interesting things that look very unusual.
1. My watermelon barely had a rind.
2. A calculator mouse
3. This is an old pen-shaped stapler.
4. It’s the fungus Xylaria polymorpha, or Dead Man’s Fingers. It usually grows on rotting tree stumps.
5. This tiny toothpaste, Tic Tac box for scale
6. “This metal keyboard at my neighborhood’s medical center”
7. “I found a 6-person-long camping chair online.”

9. This very short escalator found in Harrods, London
10. This tiny handrail that is about 8 in long
11. This completely black bag of Japanese chips
12. One hundred trillion dollars
In 2008-2009, Zimbabwe had hyperinflation, and prices were growing incredibly fast. In order to fix the problem, the authorities were constantly making new money and increasing its value. So, bread could cost 10 billion Zimbabwe dollars.
13. The largest pencil in the world at The City Museum in St. Louis. (regular pencil for scale)
14. “My local garden center has urinals shaped like plants.”
15. This tree is a Cashew of Pirangi, and it looks like a small forest.
