23 Inventions You Never Knew You Needed

Sometimes, new inventions and gadgets come along which makes us say “Why did no one think of that before?!”  I’ve scoured the web and found these fantastic inventions, each left me asking that same question.

1. The Modular Power Splitter

Some manufacturers combine the power chord with a transformer and make it too bulky and a space-hog, but with the modular power-splitter, that’s a problem for the past. Sockets can be added and removed as needed, and best of all, they swivel – solving all of your bulky connector issues!

It just rained and you want to take a stroll in the park to enjoy the cool, crisp air. You decide to sit down and take in the view, but you forgot – it just rained and now your bottom is all wet… Not if your city installed these rotating benches! Simply twist the handle on the side and move the wet part down, replacing it with a nice, dry seat!

If you like to bake, you know separating yolks and egg whites is not a fun task, that is, unless you have the Gulping Yolkfish! It works like a baster – you crack all your eggs into a bowl, then let the Yolkfish safely “swallow” the yolk.

23. Glow In The Dark Toilet Rim

Last but not least – the ultimate solution for visiting the toilet at night! We all had to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. When you get there, you probably don’t want to turn on the light, as it will wake you up and make it harder to go back to sleep once you’re done. Instead, why not install the toilet rim light? It absorbs light during the day and releases it at nighttime. It’s not electric and it’s guaranteed to work for a long, long time!
