Inventions

I have recently thought of two fabulous inventions:

1. A tray that attaches to your steering wheel, and remains level, so that you can eat lunch while driving, in a safer and neater manner. I mean, have you tried driving while eating nachos?? Its just crazy hard!

2. The medium-sized wine bottle. Let's face it, the small (750 mL) is not enough for 2 to share, and the large (1.5 L) is way too much--at least, if you have to be up early the next day!

Has anyone else come up with any fantastic ideas, such as these?

(copyrights pending)

*looks at the very normal sized (75cl) bottle of wine he started and is more than probably going to finish this same evening*
I don't see the problem...

It'll be made by Microsoft, so don't count on it.

This is the small bottle--I think, 750 mL? And yes, that is a "single serving size"!! If you are sharing it with someone, you will have to open a second bottle, right?

Ah. There's the misunderstanding. Here they also sell 375ml bottles... which I consider to be the small bottles, and there are seldom larger bottles than 750ml (=75cl). But a 750ml bottle per person is good calculation for a normal extended dinner. So indeed you have to open a second bottle... for the other person to finish.

I see! That's why we need a medium size. I edited my first post to prevent any more confusion.

I prefer people to spend their energy and attention on driving personally. Anything more taxing than sipping a drink shouldn't be allowed. I already have reservations about the median intelligence of people, asking them to drive and eat at the same time is just asking for a catastrophe. But maybe my living in the US has impaired my impression of the general populace's capabilities.

Well, I think it is a very legitimate invention and would sell loads, so I didn't catch that it was a joke. I think I'm working too hard.
