Wolf Urine

It’s not every day that you run to the store for weird things like a fresh bottle of urine but when that day comes, Home Depot has you covered. Used to keep pests and critters at bay, wolf urine identifies your property as home to a predator. Or at least home to someone who buys urine by the gallon.

Blank Ammunition
VIA MERCHANT VIA MERCHANT

Blank Ammunition

This fits into the “useful but weird things” classification. Powder-actuated tools are useful when working with concrete or other hard masonry surfaces. Activated by a hammer blow or trigger pull, these tools use small caliber loads to deliver propulsion to nails. They’re common enough on job sites. But the average consumer isn’t usually familiar with them. This means it’s always fun to watch people strolling down the aisle at Home Depot, and see their head swivel when they see what looks like a box of ammunition for sale.

Milk Crate

Milk Crate

A milk crate is nearly a universal item found in college dorms and basements all across the world. And they have been a mainstay of items repurposed for storage. But part of their appeal has been in their easy availability. So it makes this weird things list because it’s a bit strange to make a trip to Home Depot specifically, to buy an item often used as a container for other things.
