Millions of fatties have been waiting for the day when that one little pill will be invented that makes you lose weight without making the effort to exercise. The fountain of weight loss pill might be still in the making, but there might be an easier way. These special Blue Shade Glasses are made to make food look bland and less appealing then it usually would.

Research shows that blue is the least appetizing color on the spectrum, which would lead us to believe that these glasses would in theory, make food look less appetizing. Well, I don’t know about you, but I can sure go for a heaping plate of blue right now. But I really should watch my BCI (blue color intake.) — Andrew Dobrow

When we saw the Safe Turn wrist blinkers for bicyclists, we thought that the blinking bracelet was a effective way of keeping safe on the road. The Turn Signal Glasses might not be the most practical tool for bikers, but for joggers and cautious jaywalkers, they fit the bill pretty well. (more…)

Back in the days of shop class, we used to have to wear these awful rapist-style safety glasses. You know the ones I mean. An upgrade is long overdue in our opinion. The LED Safety Glasses have a sleek design and a set of LEDs strapped to the side for better vision.

Whether your trying to score with the client of your next plumbing job or just trying to look cool in junior high, the LED Safety Glasses are definitely a step up from the days of horn rimmed safety. Grab a pair for $12.50. — Andrew Dobrow

While these glasses look like they aren’t translucent (which might make it hard to save Mary Jane from the villan of the day), they do make you look bad-ass, despite the fact that you might just be totally blind when you’re wearing them. Watch out Venom! If we could see you, we just might spray you with silky webbing.

The jagged edges of the glasses gives that authentic spider web look (but not really), while making you stand out in the crowd. Even if the crowd happens to be a riotous band of comic nerds. — Andrew Dobrow

Eyeglasses have a funny little way of getting annoyingly distracting scratches right in your line of sight. Not only that, but you have to carry them around in big clunky cases that scratch the glasses even more than having them roam free. The Optigami glasses by RKS Design is an ingenious concept that makes glasses not only portable, but protected by their own shell.

When the glasses are folded, they create their own case, which can be easily thrown into your pocket thanks to its super-slim design. There’s no need to worry about your expensive lenses getting scratched when there are concepts like Optigami being made. — Andrew Dobrow

You didn’t realize the joke in “I Wear My Sunglasses At Night”, did you? Luckily for you, you now get to be the only person in the group of your friends to think that these glasses will make you as cool as Corey Hart. The glasses (not sunglasses) really show off their abilities when you step into the clubs with neon lights everywhere. The bars you see here aren’t the only designs offered; you can choose from different patterns, colors, and intensity. Please, don’t let anyone catch you wearing these darkglasses during the day. They won’t be helping you fight the sun at all, they don’t have any UV protection at all. Zip, nada. So how much will you pay? 30 euros say that you won’t be buying a pair of these anytime soon. –Nik Gomez

Japanese glasses makers Vision Megane, display another great and kinda scary Japanese invention. Customers now have the option of adding a small vibrating device to the frames.

The idea itself is a decent one. When your head tilts forward, the glasses take that motion to mean that you are losing focus. The sensor sits right behind the ear so that the vibration gives your head a substantial enough jolt to wake you out of your stupor.

The thought of these things being used as a Clockwork Orange-esque torture device is rather eerie. And I have to ask, what happens if you have to look down to write notes. Does it still shock you? (more…)
