Giving Tuesday: The Most Bizarre Items People Have Donated to Goodwill
Today is Giving Tuesday, which has become a "thing" over the past decade . . . maybe because some people feel guilty after dropping a bunch of cash on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.
There are a lot of ways to help others . . . throughout the whole year . . . and one way is donating stuff you don't need to places like Goodwill. But one person's junk is NOT always another person's treasure.
There's a list of the "most bizarre items people donated to Goodwill" . . . which was compiled with help from Goodwill workers and shoppers. It includes:
1. A guillotine. An employee says they think it went for $30.
2. Bags of groceries. Probably by accident.
3. Literal bags of garbage. And NOT by accident.
4. A basket of taxidermy kittens.
5. A glass jar labeled, "Fart, June 1975."
6. A rock . . . just a normal rock. The Goodwill put an $11 tag on it. It sold.
7. A Louis Vuitton purse . . . with human teeth inside.
8. A tiny toy car that said, "Pizza with bean . . . have you tried it?"
9. An entire cardboard box of original newspapers from historical events, like Kennedy's assassination . . . Nixon's resignation . . . and the Man on the Moon.
10. A glow-in-the-dark Ouija board.
11. A chair shaped like a Labrador Retriever.
12. A dog "sculpture" made out of random metals, including golf clubs, and a bathroom faucet.
13. A coffin.
14. A "fertility idol."
15. "Underwear for squirrels."
16. And a painting of Rosey the Robot Maid from "The Jetsons" . . . showing Rosey posing provocatively. (Here's a photo of that.)
