This piece was written by the people who run the Cracked Store to tell you about products that are being sold there.

Filing taxes sucks. It sucks that the forms are so complicated. It sucks that they randomly hit you in the middle of April. If you're poor, it sucks that people who have ungodly amounts of money don't shoulder a larger share of the burden. If you're rich, it sucks because ... a lot of paperwork, we guess. But the one thing about tax season that brings everybody together is that sweet, sweet refund money. And that's where we come in. So celebrate another year of fiscal responsibility and treat yourself to anything and everything on this list of perfectly extraneous purchases:

Steel Man MicroUSB Charging Cables

Sadly, Iron Man wasn't available to endorse this smartphone charging cable. Instead they got his lesser-known cousin, Steel Man, whom we swear is totally real. Steel Man will have you know that he's just as good as Iron Man, but happens to come at a much lower price. He'll also have you know that he's unrelated to Superman, and "Goddammit, why does everybody keep mixing us up?" This micro USB is protected by TPE wrapping and a connector shell cast in the likeness of a generic helmeted comics guy. Pick one up here for $9.99.
