Intesting inventions that never made it

Here are some really interesting inventions that I personally think everyone should have in their house:



























Egg Topper: Burning your fingers first thing is no yolk, so this little fellow was designed to snip the shell with no mess


Brightfeet Lighted Slippers: These twinkle toes could be quite useful for those nocturnal trips to the loo. They'd also cause a stir at the cinema


Shuffling Shoes: A housewife's dream. Trim those thighs as you clean with dualpurpose footwear that has scrubbing brushes on the bottom


Q-Top: Invented by housewife Carolyn McMaster, this will keep your cucumbers nice and fresh. It also won a bronze medal at the British Invention Show 2005


The Zaky: A hand-shaped fleece pillow to provide comfort for infants. Mothers can even perfume it with their chosen scent to aid the bonding process. It was created by a U.S. doctor, Dr Yamile Jackson, and named after her son Zachary, who was hospitalised as a baby.


Smearless Lip stencil: Shades of Hannibal Lecter with this mask, which in theory will help you kiss goodbye to wobbly lippy lines Brightfeet Lighted Slippers: These twinkle toes could be quite useful for those nocturnal trips to the loo. They'd also cause a stir at the cinema


Tear Free Onion Chopper: Chefs hoping to save on mascara simply place their onion in this plastic box from Japan, and hey presto, it's top of the chops with no stinging


Moustache Spoon: Slurp alert. This two-tiered spoon from 1900 will protect whiskers from unsightly dribbles of soup and custard


Monowheel: Dr Geraint Owen is on a roll as he takes his 1998 contraption for a spin

Bra Warmer: Save yourself a short, sharp shock in the morning from those satin undies - just what the doctor ordered

The Sun Pod: Ever craved a bit of peace on a noisy beach? In the Eighties, sun worshippers could opt for this unusual sunbathing experience. The brightly coloured cocktail costs extra

Meowlingual: This is the cat's whiskers, an electronic feline interpreter from Japan. Now your moggy can tell you about the mouse hidden under the sofa. This followed hot on the paws of the dog interpreter - the Bowlingual
