I had no idea how many horticulturists were also NeighborGoodies Enthusiasts! As many of you pointed out, the mystery item posted yesterday...
...is actually a pot used to plant herbs or strawberries:

And here's why:
Today on the table, we've got some well-worn sandals....
...another pair of disgusting shoes, along with some exceptionally hideous socks...
...and these mystery podiatry items:
Now, I know we don't have to go into how unbelievably dirty and disgusting used shoes are, because you're a reasonable adult, and you know better than to take shoes from strangers--especially the ones in this building.
However, I want to discuss these rubbery blue... things.
They are slapped with the Ped Egg logo...
...but I can't for the life of me find anything about them on their web site.
I'll admit, I was only barely aware of the Ped Egg. For those of you who don't know, my friend Jon describes the Ped Egg as a "Cheese-grater for your feet." It's purpose is to remove dead skin as if you were having a pedicure! ("They make your feet bleed," he reports.) The Ped Egg-as seen on TV--looks like this:
But after hours of research (googled twice) I can't seem to find anything about the blue rubbery Ped Egg accessories. Are they part of the Ped Egg kit? Do they go inside your shoe? Probably not, since they are extremely thick, and would leave little room to wear your shoes comfortably. But they are unmistakeably shoe-shaped... So are you just supposed strap them to the bottom of your feet and walk around with them instead of shoes? That hardly seems safe... although you'd be less likely to slip on smooth surfaces.
And since you all were so smug and smart about the planter yesterday--maybe you can help solve this all-new NeighborGoodies mystery as well! So, anyone care to hazard a guess? What are those little blue rubbery things??

I think there should be some kind of disclaimer on your site to warn us when shoes or mystery feet items are featured. I would have waited until after breakfast to read the words "cheese grater for your feet," had I been given the option. And, seriously, what ARE those blue things?
Here they are!

Having now found the purpose of these items I am actually laughing out loud imagining the look on your face when you realise you were so close to toe-jam city
Jesus... A: I can't believe you found those and B: UGH!
bummer Ludovica beat me to it.
However, you need to read the description for the Pampered Toes Ped Egg product. Wow. I don't know why someone would want to get rid of this miracle product.
