Shoppers baffled by the true function of Kmart home decor buy: ‘What do you even use it for?’

Kmart shoppers have been scratching their heads over the mysterious purpose of purchasing home décor for $2.50.

The ‘Wave Object’ has been on Kmart shelves since late 2023 and is once again attracting shoppers’ attention now that it’s marked down to just $2.50.

No clue is given on Kmart’s website as to what the discounted pink wavy marble item is for, but many customers have come up with some creative uses.

Kmart fans have been speculating what this stylish purchase is actually used for, with many claiming it could be a holder for soap, sunglasses, business cards, and even tacos.

‘I bought this because I thought it was cute and on sale. But what is it? Does anyone have it and can share some photos? one woman asked on Facebook.

‘I love it when not even Kmart knows what something is used for. What would you use the ‘object’ for? another woman wondered.

The questions sparked a lively debate in which many raised their conjectures, while others admitted that they had also bought the wavy object without knowing what it was.

“It contains bread and sausages when sold at a market for a barbecue, it works well and I have used them at our stall,” one user joked.

“Definitely a soft shell taco holder,” a second laughed and a third joked: “It looks like crinkle sausage mince.”

“I see a taquero,” one customer responded and many quickly agreed.

One shopper guessed it could be used to store business cards, while another said it was to store sunglasses.

“Makeup brushes so dirt doesn’t get on the counter when I use them,” someone suggested.

Another pointed out that the product description suggests it is just a work of art.

“Capture the essence of water with this stunning wavy object, a fascinating addition to enhance your home decor,” it reads.

In fact, the Wave object is nothing more than a decorative element for a shelf or a table, but nothing prevents buyers from using it for more practical purposes.
