Twitter often offers entertaining customer reviews and insights into quirky product ranges from major companies. A user has now found what she is looking for at Tchibo.
Munich – A doorstop with an alarm, a dumpling maker or a toilet brush with child safety? Doesn’t anyone need it? At least the latter has sparked a lively discussion about use and useless among Twitter users. A user has collected numerous Tchibo products and created a cabinet of curiosities. Here is a small selection.

Twitter beads: Insane Tchibo products make users laugh
“I would like to know the story behind it,” writes a Twitter user to the picture of a toilet brush with child safety. According to the product description, this means that the brush is more difficult to pull out than normal. The responses from the comments suggest that it may be related to toddler curiosity. “You can find that story in every toddler parent. Ours are at shoulder height for the same reasons.” Another user is clearer in her answer and writes: “A crawling child from the area tended to get the toilet brush out of the holder and crawl through the apartment with it. If you weren’t fast enough, people would suck on it.”
A hit with parents: the childproof lock on toilet brushes
An experience that many Twitter users with young children probably know only too well. A man therefore clearly sees the benefit of the product. “The children see their parents cleaning with the toilet brush and then want to do the same. But then don’t clean the toilet, but washbasins, floors, shoes, etc. with the toilet brush. I would buy the product immediately!”
For entertainment on “bad days” – doorstop with alarm signal
With other Tchibo offers, the focus is less on sense than nonsense. The initiator of the Twitter post writes: “After a bad day, I always look at the pictures of the potato cooking bag, the electric fly whisk or the rain overshoes and think to myself…” From this thought, the “Tchibo Group” was founded in the first place, she explains. A doorstop that emits an alarm signal with a volume of 105 db? At a volume that roughly corresponds to a Formula 1 car at a distance of 30 meters or an impact wrench – but it is well known that arguing about taste is all too entertaining. Also at Tchibo: In the district of Miesbach, retailers have become inventive in the face of great competition. (mell)
