• What kind of safe keeps your belongings safe from… you?
What invention gives you a dry place to sit, even after it rains?
Here are 15 weird-but-useful inventions you never knew you needed.
Until right now.
15 –Anti-theft sandwich bags • If you’re unlucky enough to have someone
stealing sandwiches out of your lunch, here’s one way to fight them.
• Make sure they don’t WANT your lunch.
• These are plastic sandwich bags with green spots on them, making it look like your sandwich
is disgustingly moldy.
Nobody but you knows it’s totally fine, until you’re ready to eat.
14 –Flask Tie • Here’s a tie that says, “I’m a professional,”
but it also says, “I have a drinking problem and I’m probably going to get fired.”
• The cloth of the tie hides an 8-ounce flask that you can fill with whatever you
feel like drinking through a straw.
• It doesn’t HAVE to be alcohol.
But let’s face it.
It’s probably going to be.
13 –Wearcom Jeans • Is it just too much trouble for you to
pull your phone OUT of your pocket to use it?
• This is a pair of jeans with a see-through pocket, so you can see and use your phone
while it’s still IN your pocket.
• It even has a zipper pocket to cover the clear part when you want it to just look like
regular jeans.
At least, as much as they can.
12 –Anti-Pervert Stockings • A Chinese company came up with a solution
to a growing epidemic of cat-callers, stalkers, and other assorted perverts.
• Unfortunately, it doesn’t involve convincing those people to not be assholes.
• But for girls who don’t have any other option, here are some stockings to make it
look like your legs are covered in thick, black hair.
• It’s not the most attractive way for women to stay safe from predators, but it’s
probably effective.
11 –Ping-Pong Door • This is cool, but sort of a weird sell.
It’s for if you really love ping-pong, but you don’t have a lot of space.
• But you DO have adjoining rooms where this sort of door would make sense, so one
of you isn’t trying to play in a hallway or a staircase.
• It’s also for people with a LOT of money.
This door retails for well over a thousand dollars.
10 –Rolling Dry Bench • So you’ve been walking all day, you’re
tired, and you’d really just like to sit down.
• Problem is, it’s been raining all day, and the bench is soaking wet.
• With this rolling bench, you simply turn the crank to roll the wet part of the bench
to the bottom and the dry part to the top.
As long as it has actually STOPPED raining, you’ll have a dry bench.
• And if it HASN’T stopped, why are you trying to sit down in the rain?
9 –Every-Occasion Wrapping Paper • You know that awkward moment when you
need to wrap a gift for a birthday, and all you have in the closet is wrapping paper with
Christmas trees or Valentines hearts all over it?
• Well, this is how you stop worrying about that.
• It’s wrapping paper with a word search, containing a bunch of different occasions
and phrases.
You just find and circle the one you want and wrap the gift with that part.
8 –Mirror Wiper • When your mirror steam up, your first
instinct is probably to smudge your fingerprints all over it to clear it up.
• That’ll look really bad about 30 minutes later.
• Instead, affix this mirror wiper, which basically acts as a windshield wiper.
• The mirror clears up, and you don’t leave fingerprints you’ll need to clean
up later.
7 –LED Slippers • Stubbing your toes or busting your shins
on furniture is sort of a fact of life when you’re stumbling around in the dark looking
for a light source.
• That’s why the best course of action is to actually have your light source on your
feet, as soon as you put your slippers on.
6 –Kitchen Timer Safe • Okay, there’s a jar of cookies in the
kitchen, but you can’t eat them.
Maintain self-control.
They’re not for you.
They’re for you to bring to work or school tomorrow.
• No problem, just have some self-control, right?
• Yeah, that’s probably not going to work.
So instead, just grab this kitchen timer safe, set the timer, and lock yourself out of the
jar for as long as you need to.
• It won’t unlock until the timer runs out.
5 –Water Bottle Wallet • Here’s the perfect answer to where to
hide your money, credit cards, key, or whatever else you need to keep on hand during a workout
or jog.
• You’re going to have your water bottle with you anyway, so why no keep them in there?
• No, not in there with the WATER.
In a secret side compartment. 4 –Bag-friendly chair
• It’s so simple, it barely counts as an invention.
• But anybody who has ever had a purse, backpack, laptop bag, or any other carrying
tote can tell how useful this is.
• You don’t want to put your bag on the floor, but it keeps sliding off the chair.
This chair has a notch, so your bag doesn’t slide off onto the ground.
Simple, and kinda weird-looking, but useful.
3 –Re-usable candle • It’s hard to say how well this actually
works in practice.
• But this APPEARS to be a candle you can light at one end, and it will melt down into
the other end and harden… into ANOTHER CANDLE.
• Then you flip it upside down, and light it from the other wick, and… well, you get
the idea.
2 -Stroller-scooter • Not much to say here.
• The generation that had Razor Scooters as kids grew up and had kids of their own.
• And here’s the result.
1 –Pizza Scissors • Have you ever cut a pizza with scissors?
Listen, it sounds dumb, but food scissors are an AWESOME way to cut food.
• Just make sure it’s a dedicated pair of food scissors, and not a pair you use for
hair, or glue-covered art projects.
• For instance, you can use this pair, that’s specifically designed for pizza, because it
INCLUDES a pizza-slice-shaped spatula.
Cut a slice, serve it, everyone’s happy.
