What do you think of this:
Forget about picking your nose for boogers and use a nose-picking screw.
It would have to be motorised. Possibly be best suited as an attatchment to one of those AA hand-held fans.
The screw could be made of a soft(ish) foam screw, which could even be wetted for the dry hard ones.
Sounds disgusting, but I feel nose picking is a long neglected bodily function!-- GarJE, Jul 09 2008 I think I've got it! http://tinyurl.com/nosepicker [Jinbish, Jul 10 2008] GarJE, at three? http://youtube.com/watch?v=GNg6BhntR6w [Amos Kito, Jul 12 2008] Not neglected in this category. (I love the fact that the header category is 'science').
Presumably rotational speed would be quite slow?-- Texticle, Jul 09 2008 Also suitable for ear cleaning...-- phoenix, Jul 09 2008 You'll need two speeds: insertion and removal.-- Voice, Jul 10 2008 [Voice] maybe you would reverse for removal...-- Cedar Park, Jul 10 2008 It should be pedal-powered.-- nineteenthly, Jul 10 2008 I would buy one in a heart beat. Might I suggest that the foam screws be disposable, though?
Not that I care. I could just as easily wash and reuse, but if you want this to sell in the states, it's going to have to have a disposable head. It's all the rage right now ... that and being earth friendly ...-- MikeD, Jul 10 2008 What about those dangly ones? I suggest a vacuum head that continually sweeps the air from under the brush, you know to catch all that... you know... all those..
hhehe..
all that stu....
AHHhhh!! Gross! +-- daseva, Jul 10 2008 //but if you want this to sell in the states, it's going to have to have a disposable head.// hehe.-- 4whom, Jul 10 2008 Disgusting and yet I want one. Or a pack of disposables.-- Bad Jim, Jul 11 2008 Think I should put a patent on this?
Am I looking at becoming the next Howard Hughes?
Instead of drilling for Oil, I'll make money from drilling for boogers.-- GarJE, Jul 12 2008 Some people think it's funny but...-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 12 2008 2 bogies shy of a happy meal surely.-- Ah Supp, Sep 30 2011 Wait, this idea has nothing to do with automatically turning up your nose at people? I'm disappointed.-- phundug, Sep 30 2011 Will there be a left hand drive model?-- Ah Supp, Oct 01 2011 random, halfbakery
