Assumptions: binary products, groupoid, inhabited

Conclusions: trivial

Reason: Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an inhabited groupoid with binary products. Then it is connected, so we may assume $\mathcal{C}=BG$ for a group $G$ with unique object $*$. But then $* \times * = *$, so there are $p,q \in G$ such that $G \to G \times G$, $x \mapsto (px,qx)$ is bijective. From here it is an easy exercise to deduce $G=1$.
