If you are those who like to eat potato chip all day and want to keep your hand free of grease this seem to be a good solution. While grabbing for a piece of potato chip this device is make in a way that it will not crush your potato chip. Regardless how hard you press the button.

Basically you attach the alarm system to a glass, and since it has a proximity sensor it will make the (sound) alarm go on if anyone tries to drink the beer. I believe that your friend will continue drinking your beer they will simply ignore the sound alarm.

An iPhone-Viewing Visor

The problem starts with the fact that the instructions ask you to stuff your iPhone into a pocket at the end of a camouflage visor, but the iPhones don’t even fit in the pocket. Besides, the plastic window fades and distorts your video, which severely impairs the cinematic experience. And its seem to me like it will tired your neck easily.

RemoteWrangler

Always misplacing your remote controller try strapping all to your face and it will be hard for you to misplace them again. It does ease your time in finding the remote controller but it going to hinder us in watching TV if the controller is too big or long that might block our view.

Under-Ease pants: designed to hide the smell of farts

According to Under-Tec’s president and inventor Buck Weimer, the Under-Ease is an underwear that provides “protection” against human gas. The weird product, designed by this American manufacturer, has a built-in multi-layered, replaceable filter made of felt, charcoal and fibreglass wool. To prevent gases escaping without passing through it, the underpants are made from air-tight fabric and completely sealed with elastic around the waistband and legs. Sound like a gas mask to me just that it is worn in other place*.

Toilet golf (Potty Putter Golf game)

Nintendo Virtual Boy

This device was supposed to be the first portable game console capable of displaying “true 3D graphics” out of the box. But the truth was that Virtual Boy fans had to press their eyes into the machine’s goggles to get the 3D effect. By just looking at the picture i think its going to cause me with headache after 5min of game play.

Wheelmate

Caught in traffic jam, this seem to be a quick solution for you to have your lunch/dinner/breakfast inside your car or carry on working with your laptop. You may have to push your driver seat back a little and driving with this thing attached to your steering wheel will likely breaks several local and state laws. There is a safety precaution written on the product box saying, “For safety reasons, never use this product while driving.” Seem to advise you to pull over before you start having your food or computing.
