If you thought wearable tech couldn’t get any weirder (color-changing shirts, Tweeting shoes, and GPS jackets) then brace yourself for this one. The True Love Bra, designed in Japan, is a bra with an electronic clasp that unhooks itself when it detects that the wearer is in love.
The sensor detects a rise in the heartbeat and sends it an app via Bluetooth for “examination,” there it decides whether or not that rapid heartbeat indicates romantic fluster, and if so, well, open sesame.
The Whiskey Enhancer
The major distinguisher for whiskey is the amount of time it's aged in a good quality barrel. Aging in a fine oak barrel both helps filter the whiskey and adds a more complex flavor. But what if you get cheap whiskey and get the same effect?
This is where the team from Time & Oak comes in. These guys realized that the key to fine whiskey is just that earthy oak. By simply mixing your "more reasonably priced" whiskey with this fine oakey stick, you can achieve that superior taste.
Eat 'n Draw
Going on a camping trip and want to spend those evenings by the fire doing some late night journaling? Well, this invention of a combination eating utensil and pen is the way to go.
The pen caps double as knives and forks, making these things super easy and practical to travel with. One thing that does concern us is the cleanliness factor. One should make sure to clean off the food once you put them away.
The Life Straw
Clean water is a number one priority and something that every single human should have access to. It's crazy that not all people do, so in the name of craziness, this invention is here to do just that. Introducing the purification straw officially named "The Life Straw."
This special straw can turn any grimy body of water into perfectly clean drinking water. Imagine the impact that can have on the world? It may be a little clunky, but this thing is a literal life-saver.
Chopstick/Fork
Let's face it - how many of us love getting some Sushi but never bother to use the chopsticks to pick them up and put them in our mouths? Surely we should be eating stuff the way it should be eaten, right? No chopstick dexterity? That's fine, not everybody can master this delicate art.
Sure, this item looks like a silly fork with silly chopsticks attached, and it kind of is. But the next time you're tasked with eating a bowl of egg-fried rice, you'll certainly be pining for this invention. These chopsticks are also a fork, for those who aren't feeling too confident about their skills.
