What is a relatively inexpensive item that offers entertainment beyond it's intented usecase? - Feddit UK

I’m thinking stuff like a magnifying glass for roasting ants (don’t actually do this) or those big hair-clip claws.

For what it’s worth you can also use a magnifying glass to create designs in wood; it doesn’t have to be for ant murder.

My add to this is a graphing calculator because you can put games on it and parents simply didn’t (and probably still don’t) know. You thought I was doing calculus? Ha level 19 in Tetris.

Who needs to add games when you have Block Dude?
