Top 10 Worst Kickstarter FAILS

#1 Little Eatz

It actually looked as though Little Eatz was going to bridge the gap between the dinner table and the dog bowl with one fell swoop. As clearly evident from their Kickstarter video, Melissa Little, and her husband traded teenagers for dogs, only to quickly find out their pugs enjoyed eating the same food that they did. They believed there was a gap between people food and dog food, and they were right. However, not very many people were interested in funding the project and it ended with only 12 donors and $251, shy of their required $5,000, proving just how much the unpopular the idea actually is since people just feed their dog's table scraps anyway.

#2 The Cool Baby

This was confusing at first. The Cool Baby, which fell $50,000 short of its $90,000 goal, was a novelty product that portrayed itself as something everyone really needs. It's a fake baby in a carrier, with a bottle that gets shoved up its rectum, with a straw jutting from its cap for your cool drink needs where drinking is prohibited.

#3 The Cool Baby

The pitch is ideal for alcoholics that can't multitask at home and is accompanied by a video that tries being clever and funny but winds up being terrifying instead. Yet, 348 people pledged to back the production of this cool baby thermos, but it didn't quite make its goal. Thank GOD!

#4 Pet Phones

People love pampering their pets with clothing, bejeweled collars, and gourmet treats. Now thanks to Pet Phones, we have headphones designed specifically for our pets to listen to their favorite music. They are designed specifically to fit into the pets ears and drown out the outside world, which is great for dogs with anxiety issues in a thunderstorm. However, the campaign failed to reach its very ambitious goal of $196.000. With only 7 backers, maybe an mp3 player for a dog isn't that imperative after all.

#5 Girlcraft

Nothing is safe from the battle of the sexes, including safe non-gender specific video games. Selena Hall found her daughter addicted to the game Minecraft and wondered why there wasn't a girls version, with pink colors, unicorns, and fluffy clouds and jewels. So she started a Kickstarter campaign but it was a brief, non-descript audio with no real description or breakdown on what Girlcraft actually was.

#6 Girlcraft

It is no surprise that the Girlcraft campaign ended with zero backers and zero funds raised. While the Kickstarter campaign fell short, Selena's idea had little merit to begin with. It turned out the Minecraft already had a Girlcraft texture pack that was available for free and had been in the store for many years.

#7 Pancake Bot

We love our gadgets and technology, and some love pancakes just as much. But this one just begs us to ask "why??" This campaign actually hit pay dirt, but that doesn't mean it isn't still preposterous and a complete FAIL. With a goal of $50,000 and the total pledged amount of $460,000, the Pancake Bot is a luxury that literally nobody needs.

#8 Pancake Bot

Using the idea of 3D printing, Pancake Bot allows users to turn any design into a pancake. The $299 price tag, bulky size, and complete impracticality makes it the perfect addition to any hoarders pantry closet. But if you were happy with the little round pancakes just keep on making those, this product is doomed.

#9 The No Phone

We're a little attached to our technology and maybe a bit overly focused on holding our phones waiting for a ring or beep. But does that really require a Kickstarter campaign with a $5,000 goal for a piece of hard plastic that has a mirror on one side? That's all it is. No phone, just a mirror for those selfie addicts. 915 backers thought this was a great idea to ween people away from their phones. That's $20 per pledge for a $7 hunk of plastic. The NoPhone failed to woo any investors on Shark Tank, but it apparently appeals to the public since they reached their goal three-fold.

#10 Hidrate Spark Smart Water Bottle

Your body has so many needs that it's almost impossible to remember to eat, drink, or breathe. Thankfully we now have Hydrate Inc. and their 8,000 backers to get this product off the ground, else we would all be passing out from not drinking enough fluids. The bottle connects to your phone and reminds you to stay hydrated. Gone are the days when your brain just knew you were thirsty. Now your phone and this bottle can tell you when it's time to drink. The Hidrate Spark glows to alert you that it's time to drink.

#11 Ten Days Of Gender Bending Video Game Characters

File this on under "WTF?" This guy thinks so highly of his own artwork that he believed people would pay him to draw ten video game characters as a different gender for just $500. Artist David Stonecipher started his campaign and told his "fans" he would draw a different character just for them, but it would be posted to his personal website. Of course, the campaign ended very shy of its goal, with zero backers/buyers, and no money raised. Apparently, nobody wanted to see his version of a female Sonic the Hedgehog.

#12 Gravgen

Gravgen is supposed to be a gravity powered generator. World-renowned high school graduate and self-proclaimed encyclopedia Britannica reader Angel Santana brought to light his concept for a gravity powered generator in a 2014 Kickstarter. A month later, when the campaign ended, he had 20 pledged investors and raised a total of $31.00. That is $1.55 from each donor. Despite his pledge gift of an awesome autographed photo of himself, he failed to bring his concept of gravity fueled generators to life. That could be because he never explained how it would actually work.

#13 Support Through Passion

This was actually suspended by Kickstarter when it was revealed that Cole Kidd started it to simply raise money for himself to purchase a wall of computers and monitors so that he could enjoy all of his music, videos and play games at the same time. He asked Kickstarter for $5,000 in pledges to build himself one solid computer setup so that he could enjoy himself by helping video creators with their games while sitting at home. He said it was a plea for passion and that donors would be helping others who wanted his aid by playing their games. Kickstarter suspended the campaign just 4 days after it was begun. Apparently, they have no passion.
