Udder Covers are specially made bib-like cloths that cover the business end of a mother nursing her child.  Funniest product name ever. 

But just because you cover it up doesn't mean we don't know what's going on under there, and it doesn't mean it's not weird that you're doing it in public.  I know you can do what you want and your baby is hungry, but still. #products

My time on the internet is spent looking for things that interest me.  Barf Detergent is right up my alley. 
Apparently it's a product from Iran, and in Farsi, "barf" means white or snow. #products

I saw an ad in a Popular Science magazine for organic cigarettes.  Natural American Spirit is "the only brand that manufactures both cigarettes made with 100% certified organic tobacco as well as cigarettes made with 100% additive-free natural tobacco."  Obviously these are the perfect product for health-conscious smokers. 

Actually, as far as the benefits of organic products go -- either it benefits the user or it benefits the earth -- this one would seem to benefit the earth.  But on closer inspection, I would imagine the carbon monoxide exuded from the lungs of smokers, as well as the fact that smokers happen to be the earth's most prolific litterers, both have a larger negative effect than anything that could be gained from organic farming.  But hey, it's progress I suppose. #products

I bought a carton of Organic Valley Half & Half a few months ago, and I plan to buy more of it as opposed to any of its competitors for the following reason:  There's a message from the CEO of the company on the side of the carton, where he talks about how the company was founded and what they do differently.  He signs the message "George Siemon, CEIEIO" as in E-I-E-I-O, and as a rule of thumb, I'll buy products from anybody who makes me laugh. #products

This makes me quite happy. 
Mostly because it looks like an alien clawing its way out of the mother's torso. #products

An architect in London built a house that included a slide next to the staircase, leading to this awesomely inviting image: 
I don't think there's a person alive today who hasn't slid down the stairs on their butt.  This would make it like a billion times better.  (via Neatorama) #products

Vibram makes these shoes called FiveFingers that are like toe socks, but in shoe form.  They supposedly make you feel like you're wearing nothing on your feet at all, while still allowing you to run and hike and do other non-barefoot activities.  Weird.  Looks like something Wendy would like.

I've never been a fan of gold jewelry, so I knew I wanted a silver-colored wedding band when I got married.  A few months before the wedding, I went to a jewelry store and was appalled and disgusted at the price of platinum rings (I honestly can't justify spending tons of money on a metallic material whose price is artificially determined by the people who decide to mine it -- it's that whole problem with price vs. value).  I wasn't all that impressed by white gold because it's soft, or titanium because it's too lightweight.  Plus, I heard that if a titanium ring gets stuck on your finger, they have to cut off your finger because the material is too hard to cut (this turned out to be false, but it's still fun to think about).  I instead went with stainless steel, which was both cheap and heavy.  Heavy enough that if I punched a person, it would leave a dent in their forehead.  Something about that idea resonated with me, so I bought it.  I went to a different jewelry store just to see if they had a better selection or better prices, but when I asked the sales guy if they had any stainless steel rings, he said, "What, you mean like I used to build my deck?"  Something about his tone made me want to try out my new ring's dent-producing capabilities. 

The one problem with stainless steel, as with many jewelry metals, is that it's soft enough to get scratched.  This isn't that much of an issue, especially since I'm a guy, and especially since my ring is made of stainless steel.  It would be worse if it was shiny and pretty.  But either way, I kept my eyes open for something different, and I recently found what I was looking for:  Tungsten carbide.  Not only it is more dense than stainless steel (and hence, heavier), it's also harder (even harder than titanium), so it doesn't get scratched.  Now I can leave dents in people's foreheads while keeping the symbol of my marriage free from scuffs.  Double win! #products

Attention screwers of the world (if there's a better way to say that, I couldn't think of it):  Please stop using flathead/slotted screws.  They serve no purpose that Phillips-head screws can't, and they're stupidly difficult to both install and remove.  Death to flathead screws! #products

My Toyota Camry came with a keyless entry keychain, and in the almost-five years I've owned it, I've pressed any of the three (and sometimes four -- whoops that's the alarm) buttons no less than 3000 times.  I would estimate it's more likely double that number.  And by the beard of Zeus, I haven't yet needed to replace the minuscule battery that makes this process possible, nor has the keychain had any issue working, despite the complicated nature of the technology involved (electromagnetic waves flying through the air from my hand to my car's brain, telling it to unlock the door; it's crazy) and the minimal amount of power supplied by the little pancake battery.  This is a credit to the engineers and designers at Toyota for making a product that does what it's supposed to, given its excessive, though expected, usage. 

Meanwhile, the battery in my relatively new laptop at work doesn't last more than 45 minutes, even though it says it'll last for two hours.  The "new" lids on those Coffee Mate coffee creamers always leak, and the flip-up ones on the International Delight bottles always manage to spray liquid directly in my face.  My electric shaver doesn't work while it's charging,, which, odd as it may seem, is exactly when I need it the most.  Many products come in clamshell plastic packaging, which has been proven to be literally impossible to open without self injury. 

My point is this:  When people design products, do they test them out first?  Do they fill the coffee creamer container with coffee creamer, put it in the refrigerator, take it out, and experience the frustration of spritzing sticky liquid everywhere?  I'm an engineer.  I've designed things.  And perhaps my designs haven't been the best, nor have they been used by the general population, but you can bet your ass I'd test out my product before I gave it to a bazillion people. #products
