AlwaysClean Self-Closing Pacifier Saves Baby From Sucking Lint


Sometimes, even the little things are a matter or luxury. Normal baby pacifiers have the tendency of falling out of the toddler’s mouth onto the dirty floor. And believe it or not, most parents aren’t going to waste the time to go sanitize the dirtied toy in alcohol. The AlwaysClean Self-Closing Pacifier stays clean by closing the nipple’s special enclosure whenever the pacifier is dropped out of the babies mouth. This way, there’s no more schmutz sticking to the nipple and causing a choking hazard. Wow, never thought I would say that sentence. It might be well priced at only $3, but we bet its more expensive than a traditional pacifier.

Other than the global warming making me realise that the last stint of future has arrived, a menu screen on my table with touch screen options enabling me to order a meal, really makes me belief that the time has surely arrived. The technology has gained rapid popularity in Europe, the US and Japan and if found satisfying, could become a phenomenon throughout. The aforementioned are not the first ones to put it to practice though. Conceptic, an Israeli start-up company has installed the e-menu options in pubs, their popular sushi bars and the family restaurants.
