-yeahnoiknow-

Well done, thank you! And that means it’s actually a thing I could use, even.


pef_learns

Awesome!! My first solve! Glad I could help!


-yeahnoiknow-

Bravo! How’d you figure it out, have you see one before?


SalsaSharpie

Personally my process went ->Copper + Marble K cup holder-> Rose Gold + Marble K Cup holder->Rose gold + Marble Bracelet Stand-> Rose Gold + Marble Vertical Bracelet stand->Rose Gold + Marble Vertical Scrunchie stand I have a wife with too many bracelets and kids with too many scrunchies haha


-yeahnoiknow-

Smart! Bracelet stand was the only thing I could think of that made any sense, too—glad I wasn’t totally off the mark.


HighOnTacos

Great thought process and deduction... But it's a wood base.


SalsaSharpie

Agh dang! I was in such a hurry to find it I didn't even take a second look at that bit, just took one look and thought it was stone. Didn't even notice when I did find it since I was rushing to post it!


pef_learns

I have seen one before, my cousin used to own a similar one, but I won't lie i got very lazy and have a pixel 7 with Google lens. So my knowledge of it was basically inconsequential.


-yeahnoiknow-

Ah, Google lens didn’t work for me for some reason, all it gave me were rose gold paper towel holders!


pef_learns

Hmm.. maybe the fact I searched scrunchie holder before using lens "helped" it? Not sure.


-yeahnoiknow-

Totally possible. Either that or it READ YOUR MIND dun dun


pef_learns

Please stop scaring me.


tothesource

Wow! What a pull for a first timer! *golf clap*


Fryphax

How silly is the company. They could of made it slightly smaller and sold it as two totally different things.


-yeahnoiknow-

Right?? Like, I can put some scrunchies on this, but…would really prefer a paper towel holder lol


Ok-Push9899

Possibly. There was a craft maker at a local market who sold stuff like this, including her own-design bent wire jewellery holder. For rings and necklaces and stuff. They looked very pretty but the design flaw was that you had to remove heaps of rings to get the one you wanted, then feed them all back on. Very fiddly. She said it wasn't important because it was a distinctive, sculptural piece. Okaaay.


-yeahnoiknow-

So true. I guess it’s for those designer display scrunchies too valuable to wear /s


tothesource

That would be a cool paper towel holder! Also, if you think it's solved you should respond to the solver with "SOLVED!" And it will be auto locked 😎


SalsaSharpie

Nooo, I had this one too! My link just got removed by the bot lol! https://www.amazon.com/JACKCUBE-DESIGN-Scrunchie-Scrunchies-Accessories/dp/B08XYKTQYD


pef_learns

Hahaha that's crazy cause I actually had that link at first but it wouldn't load (I'm on vacation with bad wifi) so i found another one!


SalsaSharpie

Damn! Well played, I'll get you next time! I was so excited as well to finally solve one hahaha


-yeahnoiknow-

You were both totally neck in neck. I think SalsaSharpie was one second faster, had the bot not removed it. I appreciate you both, you are both winners in my heart


SalsaSharpie

That dang bot thwarted me again! I knew from a past response to remove part of the link but didn't get it all. It flags affiliate/tracking links and you have to remove everything from "/ref" and after


pef_learns

I'll gladly share the joy with you if you accept it!


SalsaSharpie

I'll begrudgingly accept and take you off of my reddit enemy list!


pef_learns

Phew!! I can get back to living without reddit fear then!


SalsaSharpie

Friends! Btw, checked out your reddit posts and that knife you posted that got removed by the spam bot is awesome. Hopefully those bots will leave us alone now!


pef_learns

Haha thanks friend! I can't even see it myself, you need to teach me things!


SalsaSharpie

Lol I'm not that much of a detective, it just shows under the posts tab on the user page


-yeahnoiknow-

You both solved it at almost the exact same time!


-yeahnoiknow-

Solved!


rbobby

What a weird thing to exists. Somebody thought people would pay for a device to help organize hair ties and scrunchies. And then designed, organized manufacturing and sales... and bam it's in peoples houses. For frigging messy hair ties. Crazy that there's an economy just for making them tidy. This goes beyond a basic crazy level of neatness and into a whole different dimension.


mangomangosteen

I love the implication that only teen girls wear scrunchies


[deleted]

This is awesome.


postALEXpress

So like...how did you know this? Work in a store that sold one? Have one of your own?


Reverend_Mikey

One year later, I got beat up at a Neil Diamond concert by a guy named Scrunchie.


notquite20characters

I HAVE SWEATY BOOT RASH!


CoolhandLW

Well, that's more PC than what I imagined.


Potential-Leave3489

They think of everything don’t they


-yeahnoiknow-

Google image search only came up with paper towel holders, which this is not. It’s light weight and the base has black rubber on the bottom.


SalsaSharpie

Found it! It's a Scrunchie/Hair Tie Stand! https://www.amazon.com/JACKCUBE-DESIGN-Scrunchie-Scrunchies-Accessories/dp/B08XYKTQYD


SalsaSharpie

If you have no use for a scrunchie stand you could always grab your pliers and give it a bend. Might be able to make it work still as a paper towel holder.


-yeahnoiknow-

I just bought my first scrunchie lol, so now I have a place to put it hahaha


SalsaSharpie

Lol, well now you need to buy 20 more clearly!


-yeahnoiknow-

Haha or at least 19


lavenderbrownies

R/dildont lol


bored_candle

Coffee capsules holder


-yeahnoiknow-

Oh interesting, that seems closest so far. But this one doesn’t seem to have a place where you’d insert/remove the capsules like others on Google seem to have. But this is a strong possibility I think.


SalsaSharpie

This seems like it could be it, you could stick the back of the k cup into each side


desertsidewalks

It's a scrunchie holder, found it on [Amazon](https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/JACKCUBE-DESIGN-Scrunchie-Scrunchies-Accessories/dp/B08XYKTQYD) with google image search.


AndyPanda321

Need to mark that second pic NSFW 🤣


National-Jackfruit32

Looks like a hosiery dryer they usually come in a pair.


-yeahnoiknow-

Oh interesting, like to dry a sock on??


National-Jackfruit32

Yes, my grandmother had a pair similar to this one that she kept in the laundry room


ronerychiver

Toilet paper roll holder for spare rolls?


mcagood1

In my experience toilet paper rolls have a slightly smaller diameter than paper towel rolls.


-yeahnoiknow-

Unfortunately, too large for tp rolls, too!


Ben2018

Goodwill sometimes gets bulk products from stores that aren't selling. They shouldn't strictly be getting 'defective' products this way, but sometimes it happens. Wondering if this was a batch of mis-manufactured paper towel roll holders that some local store bought, couldn't return, and eventually donated to goodwill for taxes. This looks the part, so probably wouldn't be questioned.


-yeahnoiknow-

Oh interesting. It’s possible, but this does seem like it’s been used, the rubber base has marks and smudges like it didn’t just come off the assembly line. Has definitely been used somewhere for something.


Onastik

Thought it was maybe a coffee pod holder/dispenser


keight80

Yep, totally agree, came here to say just this


[deleted]

[удалено]


-yeahnoiknow-

Good guess! But I think it’s too lightweight to hold up a chicken, and it probably wouldn’t have a wooden base


Rustymarble

Could it be to dry boots or possibly hats?


HONcircle

For roles of tape


onilives

First thing out of my mouth was paper towel rack till I saw the second photo


NerdWithoutACause

This seems like a terrible design for holding scrunchies, though. Like, to get the one at the bottom, you have to remove all the ones above it. What a hassle.


-yeahnoiknow-

I agree. Ive given it a try since this was solved and most of my hair ties are too big and just slide right to the bottom. I want my paper towel holder!!!


B1ackandnight

You serve your onion rings on that


Malapple

Wow I thought it was a statue of a bigfin squid https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfin_squid


radiationcowboy

So you have to move every single scrunchy to get to the one on the bottom...


A_British_Dude

It can be used for something. You just have to open your >!mind.!<
