Opposite-taste gum

How about this for a new gum product. A gum that produces the opposite taste in the mouth. Did you eat something too salty you're about to throw up? Even if you drink water you'll still have a nasty feeling. Chew the opposite-taste gum which detects saltiness and reverses the taste in your mouth to something sweet. Ate something too hot and chilly? The gum leaves a cool feeling. Its flavor stays neutral, it'll be like a pill to have in your wallet in case of emergency. Restaurants and shops that usually have regular candies by the entrance should stock them too.

Socks with Sandals

I've often wondered why people wear socks with sandals. I always kinda thought the purpose of sandals was to get down and dirty with your hippy self. Air out these feet. Feel the sunshine. Let them breathe and play around for a little while. Wearing socks defeats that purpose. Wearing socks is restricting. Wearing socks is...a personal decision...but think about letting your toes-ies catch some UV action next time.

Edible Business Cards: Eat me before you call me :)

I never thought contacting you could be so yummy! The cards exist, I think it is an nice concept for a gift, the person who eats the card might certainly remember the taste of it (good or bad) but forget all about the contact details. In which case what does one do? Vomit? Browse the crap? Just kidding of course! Ok, the business person has to make sure the cookie or chocolate bar on which the contact details are devoured tastes good, is fresh and won't poison the recipient. If you must make the card memorable by taste you might have to buy several of them to satisfy individual tastes which makes it costly. Unless you are a chef! In that job it makes perfect sense to actually use it as a card. Perhaps all chefs should adopt them and it might be the perfect gift to give someone who is a cook :)

What's the point of having a facially unprivileged woman wear a nigab - black cloth that fully covers a woman's face - if men are tempted by beautiful women only? Are all muslim women that pretty or are all muslim men that tempted?

What about an Islamic Beauty Organization that sets beauty standards for women and decides who must wear the niqab all the time and who doesn't have to. The WIBO's mission might help solve the issue some countries face with regards to banning or not banning the head scarf in public places...

Does having to wear the niqab reduce car accidents in a country? I am thinking of those instances when men lose their concentration on the road ahead because they happened to see a pretty woman going down the street. It would make for a fascinating debate if such statistics were available...

Personally, I think obliging all women in a country to adhere to a strict religious dress code is ridiculous. I don't feel sad only for the women who after all might be used to wearing it or see it as a fashion statement. I feel sad for the men who get used to seeing less of the female beauty that exists which in turn makes it hard to cultivate good taste in women :)

Hi guys and pasta lovers. Do you want to impress your girlfriend with an easy and tasty pasta meal?

Before you add any sauce you have in mind, throw in some oregano, mix the pasta, add the sauce, mix again and serve!

Tastes great with all kinds of sauces, tomato and cream based.

If you get a nice compliment from your girl , I expect a small support from you...

If your evening goes very well after dinner, I look forward to a much more generous contribution!!!
