Are some running items best left not invented?

Browsing through the latest Runner's World and looking at the ad marketplace, you can find lots of great gadgets. From the metal frames to hold your finisher medals, to quilts for the race t-shirts, Road IDs and all kinds of things that you might not have thought of.

But in a recent issue, I found one particular item that I found to be, well, quite bizarre.

This item was the Water Bottle Headband.
Sadly - (or maybe not so) I couldn't find the image I found in Runner's World to post here. 

Running with a water bottle can be a real pain in the neck and honestly, as good as the GU fuel belts are -- its just not my thing. But never would I have thought to place my water bottle behind my head?

Any other items to add to the list?
