Ah, tourist attractions. Your consumer-quality yokel-locals will charge you five dollars for pretty much anything. The real question is: who buys it? How, how, how do these people stay in business? So, straight from Tackytown USA, I bring you some of the coolest, craziest, and dumbest shops.

The Water Shoppe in Toronto is pretty self-explanatory. It sells water. Lots and lots of water.And you might find an umbrella or two. But mostly water.
Lehman's Hardware in Ohio sells strictly non-electric appliances. So, when the power goes out, you can laugh at all your friends and wave your gas lamp, grain grinder, wood stove, and gas refrigerator in their faces. Surprisingly, it's a thriving business: there are more Amish people and camping enthusiasts in Ohio than I would have expected.
The Didgeridoo Store is an online shop that Didgeridoos, Didgeridoo gear, and CDs of Didgeridoo music. You could save quite a bit on a trip to the outback here.
The Rainbow Feather Company in Vegas sells feathers in every color, shape, and size imaginable.
BowlingShirt.com sells only bowling shirts. JustToiletPaper.com, PuttyWorld.com, and Tender Buttons in NYC sell exactly what their names imply.
And it doesn't stop there. From alcoholic whipped cream, to inhalable food, to pancake-in-a-bag, to swimsuits that aren't waterproof, these people have gone above and beyond julimagination into a whole new universe of wacko.
