Blue light keeps fruit fresh

Written by mike

We’ve all experienced buying fruit, not using it and after a few days, watching it spoil. This can be quite frustrating as it is a waste of money, a waste of food as well as a waste of time as you would have had to the store to purchase the fruit.

Along comes the concept bowl simply known as Blue.

Keep fruit fresh with blue light

Blue uses Action Fresh Blue Technology, which is a specific wavelength of blue light that is known to inhibit the growth of bacteria as well as kill existing bacteria. With a reduction of bacteria on the fruit, the shelf life is increased. This same technology is now being introduced into other appliances of convenience such as the Halo Vacuum as well as the newer generation refrigerators.

There are no specifics as to how much longer fruit will stay fresh. If having fresh fruit doesn’t convince you as to the practicality of this product, what about that cool shiny blue light?

Puzzle alarm clock to wake you in the morning

Written by mike

On the surface, the puzzle alarm clock looks as easy as pie to complete. With only 3 large geometric shapes to place in the correct spots to solve the puzzle and shut the alarm, how can something like this wake you in the morning?

Puzzle Alarm Clock

The challenge of completing this puzzle is not just in placing the pieces in the correct spots but also in finding the pieces.

Picture this. It’s early morning. You’re sleeping soundly in your bed under your cozy blankets. The alarm rings. Upon ringing, the alarm clock will shoot the 3 puzzle pieces up in the air. Before you can turn the alarm off, you will probably need to get out of bed, just to find the three pieces.

Once you’ve found them, it’s a matter of placing them back on the clock before it will turn off.

By the time you’ve gone through this process, I’m pretty sure you’ll be bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready for the day ahead.

The Ouch Toothpick Holder

Written by mike

Here’s an example of trendy meets practical. Many people place plain toothpick holders on their dinner table available for guests. No one thinks anything about it.

I present to you the “Ouch Toothpick Holder”

Unique toothpick holder

It’s interesting how one can look at a design and see multiple interpretations. According to the reseller, they call it the ouch toothpick holder, implying pain.

However, it could also be a case of a person lying down receiving a session of acupuncture, thus alleviating pain.

In any case, this will sure get some attention at your next dinner party. Who knows, it may even a good conversation piece for a divorce party as that holder could represent a voodoo doll of your ex-spouse with a couple of needs stuck in him/her….ouch!

Written by mike

At the 2008 National Hardware show, Viatek introduced one of their latest gadgets, the jar opener Lid Punch.

You may ask, what do you do with the hole that is now in the lid? Valid question. To answer this, they provide you with a series of magnets, one of which can be placed on the lid, thereby sealing in freshness and avoiding spillage.
