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”

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!

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

The principal behind this gadget is jars that have been vacuum sealed can be hard to open. With the Lid Punch, a hole is created in the lid of the jar to equilibrate the pressure, thereby making it easier to open the jar.

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.

Full details can be seen on their youtube video:
