20. Canned Unicorn Meat

Spoiler: it’s not real meat. But that didn’t stop ThinkGeek from marketing a product called “Canned Unicorn Meat.” The tin was filled with glittery stuffed unicorn parts and labeled as “magic in every bite.” Originally a joke item, it sold out faster than expected and became a collector’s item.

The fake product rode on the tail end of the unicorn trend boom, but its sheer audacity made it memorable. A blend of shock humor and cuteness, it was the perfect gift for anyone who enjoyed dark whimsy. Sometimes, the packaging alone is enough to fund a fantasy—or at least a plush one.
