I'm a huge seafood-lover, but not everything that can be found underwater is edible or enticing. This cluster of odd underwater innovations shows strange looking sea creatures, mesmerizing mermaids, overpriced sushi, shark-inspired fashions and much more.
The creepiest underwater innovation to me is the artwork with tentacles coming out of peoples faces. From man-eating backpacks to tentacle regurgitation, check these odd underwater innovations.
Implications - Integrating natural elements into products is becoming increasingly popular. Consumers are looking for more ways to tune into a nature-friendly aesthetic in their lives. The green industry can tap into this demand for more eco-conscious products to generate more revenue through expanding their services to other industries.
