who uses it
who buys it?
it doesnt make any sense.First of all who would buy the Garbage in the first place, and if some one was daft enough to buy it, why wouldn't the use it and what could they possible use it for. Secondly if you are using garbage, then surely it would be obvious that you are using it. How could you possibly use garbage with out knowing, even recycled packages and containers tell you they are recycled.
This just does not make senes!
COFFIN would be a better answer

It odesn't mean stinky nast garbage, it means something that is sort of junky, you know some people buy that stuff at yardsales. And when you use it you don't know that it is garbage.
This was a great teaser! I don't understand why you people are criticizing it! This one is going straight into my Favorites folder!
Hey, I'm often "buying the garbage" that you guys dish out. Meaning, I'm always putting up with your criticism. That's what I think he meant.
good point tissue, but mad-ade is right with everything that was written. the only answer i thought up was coffin, and i submitted a teaser that said:
the maker doesn't want it,
the buyer doesn't use it,
and the user doesn't see it.
what is it? i came up with coffin, but that teaser was a repeat ...
the maker doesn't want it,
the buyer doesn't use it,
and the user doesn't see it.
what is it? i came up with coffin, but that teaser was a repeat ...
I came up with coffin too.
it sounds more like a coffin, very similar to the original riddle where the answer IS coffin.
Who would buy garbage anyway!
i got coffin
coffin is definetly the best answer then
