I like them. I'm not too too much into designer stuff, but having trash bags that just fit the can is awesome. No more having to tie off overly large trash bags to fit the can.

I just noticed recently that when a box of Kleenex is near empty, the color of tissue changes to peach to remind users that it is time to buy a new box. What a smart idea. Do you know any other examples like this?

The little red "oil" light on a car I once had. Came on to tell me that the engine had just burnt up and was quitting. It was right.

When the Volkswagen Beetle was designed (before WW2), every corner was cut to keep the cost down, so it could really be a "car for the people". One of the sacrifices was the fuel gauge; the driver was expected to know how far he had been driving since the last tank filling. But not quite: The fuel tank was split in two: When you filled it up, about five liters flowed into a side tank, but normally it wouldn't flow out of there. If you ran out of fuel out on the highway, you could flip a little handle to release the side tank into the main one. It was sort of like a separate reserve fuel tank kept in the trunk, but this one you never forgot to fill up, you avoided spilling fuel when you had to make use of it, and you never left it in the garage. Every car should adopt that solution! (or at least every car made for use outside of inhabited areas)

When the bottle of ketchup is almost empty, it makes a 'squirty' sound with a lot of air.

I've noticed it also tends to be a lot messier and go everywhere you don't want it to go.

:laugh: I do the laundry! And most of the cooking. She handles the important decisions: declaring war on other countries, repelling alien invasions, that sort of thing. We can't clutter her up with trivial implementation details!

My beer starts to get warm as it gets emptier so I know to go and get another one.

One thing the mechanic told me when he was replacing the wheel was "Don't use the quick tyre inflation fix tool!" as it will fill the tyre with gunk and require the tyre sensor to be replaced. So not only do I not get a spare tyre but if I use the kit that is meant to reinflate the tyre I also have to fork out a large quantity in dosh to replace the sensor too - that's a definite fail on the p[art of the manufacturer.

You call it a fail. The manufacturer is pleased with people paying large sums of money for otherwise easily avoidable damages.

And if you're in a restaurant everyone snickers at you.
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

I am not sure it is easily avoidable as they don't supply you with a spare tyre as it helps to keep the road tax lower(the weight loss in the car keeps emissions down) and saves them the money in supplying you with a spare tyre.

What, people can no longer figure out when a box is getting close to empty that they need color-coded Kleenex??? Are people getting stupid or what??? ;P

.NET developers think logically. You do not expect them to make any decision without evaluating a condition.

Hmm... I think you are correct on that point. My bad... :laugh:
