The Squatty Potty gets a lot of attention on both Amazon and Reddit.

It even comes in different colors, so you can add style to your toilet. One Amazon customer wrote, "Squatty Potty is the most important thing I own. I own three."

I was thrilled to discover that my favorite mobile keyboard is also a favorite on Reddit. The Logitech K380 from Logitech pairs with two devices at once. Throw it into your bag, and your phone will work like a computer. Take notes in class or sit at a cafe and work on your novel — you don't need to haul a laptop around for this. This keyboard is small, weighs almost nothing, and has a two-year battery life. Reddit user Super_Cyan wrote, "I used to hate tablets and thought they were useless, but the keyboard changed everything. When I got a keyboard, it made everything so much easier, and I stopped using my laptop almost altogether."

This Blue Lizard sunscreen comes with a cap that tells you when to worry about the sun because it turns blue in UV-intensive situations.

It's also a mineral-based sunscreen that lacks artificial fragrances and parabens. Not to mention, it's water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.

The problem? Boredom. The solution? Games you can play at home or at your local bar. This fast-paced game — rightfully called Fastrack — has gotten a surprising amount of support from Redditors who've been talking about a similar version online. To play both versions, you have to use the elastic band on your side to fling pucks through the middle opening. (Whoever sends all of their discs into the opposite side wins.) "This looks really fun," one person wrote.

What if instead of turning your pineapple into a pile of fruit, skin, and juice, you could transform it into a bowl of neatly cut pieces? This reality can be yours: all it takes is this pineapple cutter, which — according to a resident of r/ProductPorn — is "worth every penny." It uses a stainless steel blade to neatly remove the insides of a pineapple, along with a separated cutout that slides through the middle section for bite-sized pieces.

Want to get into a heated argument about the imperial system of measures versus the metric? Post these visual measuring cups to r/ProductPorn on Reddit.

These memo pads are truly wild. I just watched this Reddit video where pages were pulled away to create a scene hidden within one pad — and you can own a version of your own (thanks to Amazon). After receiving it, just pull away one piece of paper at a time. Each time you do that, your page will leave behind a small piece of itself. As you remove more and more, the bits that are left behind will form an architectural shape. Amazing. Someone on Reddit wrote, "I need it!"
