This Supermarket Offers Free Unwanted Vegetables to Help People Feed Their Pets.
A grocery store in Germany is helping to cut down on food waste by giving away vegetable pieces for free so that customers can take them home and feed them to their dogs. The veggies they sell are still extremely fresh; they are merely the leafy green parts that are generally thrown away before they are sold. Carrot fronds or broccoli stems are tasty treats for our furry friends.
The Toothbrush With Interchangeable Bristles Saves Both Money and Resources
Most people throw away 2 to 3 toothbrushes a year. But this smart toothbrush design lets people easily switch out the bristles and put in a new set. The strong plastic handle is usually as good as new, so it's a waste to throw away the whole tool when only the bristles wear out. We don't know why it took so long for this design to go to stores.
This University Has Slides so You Can Skip Waiting for the Elevator
A university in Germany is helping individuals get in touch with their inner child by putting slides in the math department. The Technische Universität in Munich has a safe way for students and professors to travel to the ground floor that is much faster than using the elevators. But the nicest part about this strange design innovation is that it makes everyone's everyday routines a little more entertaining. And let's be honest, mathematicians need it the most!
Packaging That Lets You Know When the Meat Inside Has Spoiled
You wouldn't have to guess how long the meat in your fridge would last if you didn't have to. Some meat labels in Japan are so advanced that they can inform you if the meat is bad or not. When rotten meat releases ammonia, the labels change color to a dark blue that makes it impossible to scan the barcode.
Toilets That Have Baby Holders so You Can Use the Restroom in Peace
Parents with young kids know how hard it can be to use a public bathroom. Most of the time, there aren't any clean or child-safe places where parents may put their baby or toddler. This means that many parents have to hold their kid with one arm while they do their business. Some toilets in East Asia, on the other hand, have a very safe baby holder, and we wish that this feature was used all over the world.
