MILLION-DOLLAR IDEA: This Device Lets You Open Doors With Your Feet
The idea: The Toepener is a handle that attaches to the bottom of a door so you can open it with your feet.
Whose idea: Forge LLC, a cool startup created by University of Minnesota students.
Why it's brilliant: Germaphobes, rejoice: you'll never have to touch a dirty public bathroom door handle ever again. Toepener is also a great alternative to awkwardly opening the door with your elbow when you've got your hands full.

The germaphobe community can rejoice at this. This reminds me of a gift our family got for Christmas last year. My aunt and uncle got us a touch free soap dispenser. I find this quite ironic though... because it is a soap dispenser. I though it was funny because with a regular soap dispenser you touch the "dirty" handle but then lather your hands with none other than "anti-bacteria soap". Well back to the toepener. I feel the germophobes efforts will be stifled next time they touch something outside the bathroom. You just can't win against germs
ReplyDeleteI think people should get over itzy bitzi germs... and open the door the old school way. Get a bunch of per towels while walking out. Then open the door with the paper towels, and while walking out throw the trash away.
