Four Funny Inventions

Time Temp Glasses

Have you always wanted to keep an eye on the time and temperature at the same time? Then you'll love the Time Temp Glasses! These special glasses show the time above your right eye and the temperature above your left eye. It is certainly easier than wearing a wristwatch, and you'll never have to guess the temperature again.

Alarm Fork

Do you eat too quickly? Do you eat too much? The Alarm Fork can help you. This special fork has two lights: one green and one red. When the green light is on, it's OK to take a bite of food.The fork knows when you take a bite, and the red light will go on. Then, you must wait for the green light to come on again before you take another bite.This will help you eat slowly and eat less as well!

Smell This

How do you know when you have bad breath? Your friends probably don't want to tell you, and it's hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Now you can avoid embarrassment with the Smell This machine. It covers your nose and your mouth, so you can always smell your own breath. So does it smell nice... or do you need a piece of gum?

Crash Wing

Riding a motorcycle can be an awesome experience, but it can also be, a dangerous one. Make Your ride safer with the Crash Wing. This safety device is worn on your back like a backpack, with part of it attached to the motorcycle. If you are thrown from your bike, the Crash Wing opens, spreading its wings. The wings lift you up into the air and help you float safely back to the ground.With crash Wing, you can ride your motorcycle with confidence!
