18 Terrible Things That Are Legally Being Sold

In our world, humans consume a lot of things. Some are good, while the others are not. With the bloated government, dozens of regulatory agencies and health services, its shocking that most of this stuff is allowed to exist at all.


However, sometimes some things are the absolute worst, which is what this list is all about.

1.

I work in a pet store and though it’s not majorly messed up i think it’s wild that people can buy a tortoise or any animals for that matter that can and will outlive them and their kids. just assuming their grandkids will take care of them or given to another sanctuary. - Dope_Lunaa

Those non-fda approved energy pills sold at gas stations and corner stores. Tried em once, should have listened to the crackhead who told me not to buy them. - Available_Job1288

18.

Bleaching/Skin lightening creams. They are extremely dangerous and may cause damage to ones skin that is irreversible. I've known friends who bleached and it looked like parts of their skin had literally been boiled off or they became darker in complexion due to damage. They tend to be sold a lot in countries in Africa and south east Asia. It's quite scary how easy they can also be found in Asian/African beauty stores in the states but are probably sold illegally. - stakedrivers
