Every now and then, I fall into an internet rabbit hole so deep I start questioning my grip on reality. But this wasn't just a rabbit hole. This felt like I got sucked into a space-time wormhole, bounced off a few dimensions, and landed inside an Interdimensional Cable episode of Rick and Morty. On the other side? A store. A store so wonderfully bizarre, so utterly unhinged, that I stayed way too long and left with a cart full of questions and a mild craving for birthday snakes.
The store is called Obvious Plant, and it's basically performance art in product form. Their catalog includes things like a tiny plastic baby you're encouraged to swallow in order to "make a baby," an emotional support shoe, a pack of birthday snakes (not what you think), a funeral kazoo, and so many more fake-yet-somehow-real items that toe the line between satire and "okay but I do want this."
Scrolling through feels like browsing a gift shop in the Twilight Zone. None of it makes sense. All of it makes you laugh. Some of it will live in your head rent-free forever.
Check out the full store here, but don't say I didn't warn you.
