CruJones: screw that. Plucking results in inside-the-nose zits, which hurt like a mother.

Damm straight, I just use a finger nail scissors and a small flashlight. No pain and it works well enough for me. Though I don't have that many nose hairs to trim anyway, unless they poke out or make my nose itch I leave them alone.

Evidently you haven't met my husband.

glad someone else has experienced the inside-the-nose-zit. Most painful things ever. And most people just look at you funny and say they've never had one.

Okay, I'll throw in a fourth bottle, the applicator glove, and a

We should make people wear some sort of scarlet "G" next to their handle for grammar nazi-ing. Anyone with a scarlet "G" next to their name you can shun and ignore and make fun of. Same goes for anyone totally ruining the language, the people who turn "are you" into "R U" should wear a scarlet "B" for butchering. That way the rest of us who type decent enough can live happily ever.

"there is only one product from 2007 that I still regularly use" -- which is the real test of 'Useful Invention'.
I try to think that way when I see a 'nifty' new gizmo. Is it something I will really use often? Or more junk to clutter up the place until it gets chucked into the basement? It's not pretty down there.

Dear WebMD,

I have noticed a few red spots on my penis. Of course, this has me very worried. What could be causing this?

That reads as though you're coming out to your parents in this thread..

You'd think people would know better than to order anything in an infomercial, with the amount of complaints these outfits have had. If there is a 30 day money back guaruntee, you'll get it on day 31, the only phone numbers you can call if it breaks or you want to return it is the sales line, the service number doesn't work, or your messages don't get returned. Places no longer advertise how much the shipping and handeling is, often times it can be many times the price of the item, and is often not disclosed until after you enter your credit card number. Infomercial junk is generally poorly made crap that wouldn't sell in a regular store.

I have yet to find a reason to peel potatoes.

Nobody's mentioned the sheer potential awesomeness of the Yoga Booty Ballet fitness system mentioned in TFA?

You nosehair pluckers are gonna love this one.

I run a spa in a hotel and one day one of the estheticians came up to me without a word, put her hand against my head, pushed back, took a look and said, "you need to have your nose waxed."

I had two reactions. First, as a man, I thought "are you out of your *&^%$ing mind???" Second, as a spa manager, I thought, "I have to try this. Could be something we could offer."

The results were predictable. Painful altho not as much as I thought {you're only removing a few hairs from a small area}. Highly effective -- she only removed the visible hairs at the front of my nostrils so no potential health problems and they were gone for a month.

Best part was everyone in the spa, including a couple of customers, lining up to see the procedure -- not out of professional curiosity, more of a Christians/lions thing.

Even I had to admit the whole thing was hilarious. I would recommend it but only at your own risk. And I didn't add it to the menu.

Or a scarlet "R" for throwing in a Rotsky...

Scavenger, who would want to sniff their own earwax or sniff in their own earwax with that thing?

scavenger, why does that device turn ones eyes from blue to brown when inserted into ear?

The most useful gadget that gets used a lot is the onion chopping grid thing. With a little care it can also chop potato slices, carrots and celery. Saves a lot of time. Since I use those veggies in a lot of recipes, it is very handy. I do meals for older folks sometimes, they really like their stuff finely chopped.

I wish they would work on the kitchen silicone thingys a bit more. They are really close with several of them, but they're just a little bit off. They are great insulators, once you get over the feeling that they are rubber and are going to melt on you.

Fapping while wearing Tater Mitts?

I prefer needle-nose pliers and a nice bourbon for my nose hair treatment.

Not really - I have one of those $8.00 trimmers I got at Walgreen's, and it works great for the nose/ears.

/Yes, getting older sucks.
//Better than the alternative, however.

I think anybody who uses 'prolly' for 'probably' should be "pantsed" in public.

Bah; I usually just gather my nosehairs up in a Scrunchie and shove 'em back up in my nostrils.

rulego66: Or a scarlet "R" for throwing in a Rotsky...

Yes, it was funny for about a week, like "I'm rick james biatch!" was. Scarlet G's, B's, and R's works out great. Thread jacking for a constructive purpose is fantastic.

I've been AVOIDING buying a nose-hair trimmer because I think they're all going to crap out on me. Right now I use really, really sharp scissors.... And I live in earthquake country, so this makes me nervous.

Plucking is out of the question.

That onion chopper he was going on about has been around for 20 years. Bought ours at the Texas State Fair when it had a German name. We call it the German Death Trap.

I have a mandolin which can slice a potatoes in about two seconds flat. The hard part is peeling them (no, I don't like the skins). Maybe I should take a look at those gloves. Sometimes we make a massive load of potatoes and I end up spending 15 minutes peeling and 2 minutes slicing.

Here's a clue: nobody gives a rat's ass that you're gay, and it doesn't make you special, so quit waving the damn flag.

I acutually have a Conair ear hair trimmer. Works great, and sadly, I have to use it on a regular basis.

Best infomercial/commercial EVAR.

Where's the love for Aalton Brown?

I've acquired a fair amount of kitchen stuff over time... and threw out a whole bunch this year. Why do I need two sets of mixing bowls? Why do I need lots of preparation knives? All I need are basics that are multipurpose. I'm really choosy about my actual gadgets. I do like and use my mandoline, it's well worth the space. I also spent $9 on an OXO vegetable peeler. It works really well on everything (it actually cuts), so it's worth it.

Extra junk or expensive junk is only worth it if you will actually use it often.

If you really want to try all the weird gadgets, just go to a secondhand store and pick it up for $1.

And you can think of the extra stuff in two ways. One, you can have lots of extra stuff so you don't run out of a clean tool or container. Two, if you have less crap, you have less crap in your cupboards, and you're forced to clean stuff quickly, which means your place stays cleaner. I've started to go with option 2.

...here comes the science!

Sharper Image has a great ear/hair nose trimmer with different attachments for different orifices. Plus, it has a little light on the end so you can see what you're doing. Worth every penny...or so I've heard.

When I'm sitting around picking my nose, if I can get a hold on a hair, it's too long, so I yank it out. No need for any fancy pants devices.

Dude. Vidalias are mild onions. You can chop them tear free with a plain old knife.

You know, I've always assumed that all infomercial stuff is junk, and readily avoid it and its commercials, but the article sure got me interested in the Chop Wizard thing. One of the reasons I don't cook as much as I'd usually like to is because I hate chopping so much. Looks like they have a "pro" version for 2x the price...I might actually look into that one. I hate peeling too, but I don't peel everything...I usually chop everything though.
