Fish n' Flush
$289
This unusual toilet serves a dual purpose: as a waste receptacle and as an aquarium. Many people have already introduced goldfish to the toilet, but usually that happens when they die. The Fish n' Flush is an actual kit that turns your toilet tank into a living space for your pet fish – an aquarium. It comes with simulated reef and real fish. Fish n' Flush is meant to create a relaxing atmosphere in the bathroom. However, PETA might protest the view to which the poor fish living in the toilet tank will be subjected! Fish n' Flush can be yours for the price of $289 at JL Ryan.

Portable Office in a Tie
Price Unknown
What could be more convenient than carrying your office with you wherever you go? More fashionable and handier than a briefcase, the Portable Office in a Tie is a functional accessory recently invented by the Japanese that can carry small office products like pens, scissors, tape, and notepads, and gadgets. Could this replace the traditional pocket protector, messenger bag, or briefcase? Or will it simply increase the income of chiropractors as wearers of the Portable Office in a Tie flock to their practices with sore necks and bad backs?

Hay Fever Hat

Yet another functional accessory from Japan, the Hay Fever Hat is perfect for those suffering from seasonal allergies or the common cold.

Fresh, the Shrinking Milk Jug
Price Unknown
One of the reasons a jug of milk goes bad after it's been opened for about a week is that oxygen gets into it, oxidizing milk's lactose sugars into smelly, sour lactic acid. Fresh, the Shrinking Milk Jug helps to squeeze all of the air out of the milk jug as it's being used, keeping milk fresh for up to a week longer than normal. This odd invention could help those with tight grocery budgets make the most of their spending on the world's most popular dairy product. No more crying over sour milk.

Nubrella
$49.99
One of the main problems with traditional umbrellas is that they don't cover enough area to keep you dry. Another is that they have to be held in one hand while you're trying to keep all of your other belongings in your other hand when rushing down a rainy street. Nubrella is a hands-free umbrella designed to solve both problems. With shoulder straps, it securely attaches to your body and keeps the head, neck and shoulder area dry. What's more, Nubrella is treated polyurethane so that you'll be able to see even during the heaviest rains. It may look a bit odd, but you'll be the one laughing when everyone else is soaking wet. Available for $49.99 at Nubrella.com.

Caffeindicator
Price Unknown
This product could really come in handy if you have a medical condition or just want to avoid caffeinated beverages. The Caffeindicator consists of little litmus-like paper packets that look like sugar packets. Simply place a drop of coffee or other questionable beverage onto the Caffeindicator. If the paper turns pink, caffeine is present in the beverage. It is also a good way to test the truthfulness of a waitress or barista at the local coffee shop.
