An average family of four in the U.S. consumes over 200 liters of carbonated drinks per year.

One of the top ten things you didn't know you needed

Have you ever wondered how you would sound if you could hear your air guitar? Me neither, but this gadget will let you do it. An infrared sensor picks up your hand motions while you press chord buttons, and you can hear it thought the built-in speaker or connect it to an amplifier. Rock on!

One of the top ten things you didn't know you needed

When you finally reach the executive suite and can afford a pen that costs more than your first car, you don’t want it just lying on your desk like a … well, like a pen. It should be cradled gently and honorably in a pen holder, preferable one that also dispenses good writing advice.

If you don’t eat pickles, you probably don’t know that the smell of pickle juice lingers on your fingers. And you certainly didn’t know that you need a deluxe pickle pincher to remove them without odors. Works with dill or sweet, but check to make sure olives don’t invalidate the warranty.
