Trongs Infomercial

Jul 242012

Finger foods are delicious, but some times getting your hands covered in thick, sticky BBQ sauce can be a darn right pain. Especially when napkins just can’t cut through the sticky goodness.

Thankfully, there’s Trongs, a new finger food utensil you ‘wear’ on your fingers. They grab foods like wings with ease and even tear through ribs.

The product has been out for a while, but their infomercial has gone viral in the past week, being covered on such sites as TheAwesomer, BlameItOnTheVoices, and PhillyBarStoolSports.

Smart Trashcan By Japanese Inventor

Jul 232012

It’s an old cliche in Hollywood for a character to be in a typing montage with their back to the camera. Often, they will crumple up their work and toss the paper wad over their shoulder and miss the trash can.

But now Japanese YouTuber minokur‘s invention will make cleaning up paper wads a thing of the past. He invented a ‘smart’ trash can. The can is on wheels with sensors galore that can track an incoming object in just a moment and can move to the correct space to catch the projectile.

The video was published over the weekend, and now impressively stands with over one million views. The video is featured on EnGadget, HackADay, and DesignTaxi.

Bug-A-Salt Gun Kills Flies By Shooting Table Salt

Jul 202012

One of the worst parts of summer is the constant flies. Swatters, bug spray, fly tape and more are all common solutions for the buzzing bothers, but Lorenzo has thought up a new super cool and also very fun way to eradicate flies.

The artist spent a long time developing his creation and he has finally finished. He calls his invention the Bug-A-Salt. Imagine a nerf gun that shoots salt instead of darts. Yes, table salt.

Incredibly, it’s extremely effective! The non-toxic, no-batteries-required gun launches just a pinch of salt with serious pressure that kills flies like just like that!
