Meltaonin Spray Gets You To Sleep In A Wink

sprayable_sleep_lady-590x330

If you normally have trouble falling asleep, you might have tried many different solutions, from sleeping pills, to alcohol, to melatonin pills. These work to varying degrees, but the Sprayable Sleep product we’re featuring here looks interesting. Developed by Ben Yu and Deven Soni at Stanford University last March along with a team of chemists and designers, Sprayable Sleep is a liquid that you spray on your skin to help you fall asleep. It’s made of Melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep, and is apparently more effective than the oral version of the same. The fact that it’s administered topically means it will avoid it being eliminated by your liver, as well as allow it to enter your bloodstream slowly over a long period of time. Allegedly, this makes it more effective; early reviews have been positive. You not only fall asleep more easily, but your sleep it more restful and you don’t wake up as groggy. It’s $15 for a bottle that lasts about one month, but you have to buy them 3 at a time, so $45.

X-Ray Spray: Makes Envelopes See-Through For 30 Seconds

envelope_x_ray_spray_1

Snooping on your neighbour’s mail has never been so easy. Just spray some of this “X-Ray Spray” on the side of a sealed envelope and watch in amazement as the paper becomes semi-transparent. It’s completely temporary, as the product will evaporate after about 30 seconds, leaving the piece of mail looking completely un-tampered with.

We can’t think of any situations where the use of this product wouldn’t be either illegal, or at the very least morally reprehensible. But, hey, we don’t judge. We just think it’s pretty cool something like this even exists. It’s $15.

Magic Spray Changes Poo Odor To Flowers… Using Magic Or Something

Color us skeptical, but a product coming out of Japan for the price of $20 claiming to turn the smell of feces into the smell of flowers doesn’t seem real. But that’s just what the Magic Spray is supposed to do. Meant to be spritzed over used diapers, it presumably uses some chemical concoction to specifically convert the bad smell to a good/better one, and not to simply try to cover it up like a deodorant.

Yeah, if someone is willing to give it a try and report back to us, we’ll be waiting with bated breath. Also, any Japanese speakers able to look over a non machine-translatable graphic at the product link below can perhaps enlighten us as well.
