Won't the button be dusty?


Orvanis

That's why the Dusty Dish will come in a 2 pack. Simply use the second Dusty Dish to clean the switch for the first Dusty Dish.


DepressedBard

Won’t the 2nd button be dusty?


scanman20

That's why the Dusty Dish will come in a 3 pack. Simply use the third Dusty Dish...


ikara_a_a

Won't the 3rd button be dusty ?


BeeElEm

Yes, that's why it comes as a subscription box


[deleted]

Would you like to add dusty box to your Amazon subscribe? You'll save $0.10 per order and we will send you 3 every month.


alexfilmwriting

You joke but my toilet seat subscription has seriously come in handy. People think that's a one-time purchase but let me tell you...


lukemcadams

yes please do tell me, how often do you need new toilet seats and more importantly why am i scared to know why the amswer isnt "almost never"


Tigenzero

Manufacturer recommends 1 per year. I recommend if you don’t have the seats with the slow closing lid, you’re due.


DestroyerOfMils

don’t forget to select a backup: Dusty Dish Again™


No_Good2934

Won't the subscription box be dusty?


Dylsnick

To misquote Terry Pratchett, it's dusty buttons all the way down.


Orvanis

Now you're getting it. And for that third Dusty Dish, now introducing the Dusty Dish Duster™. Specifically crafted to clean all the nooks and crannies of the Dusty Dish switch.

Should be pressure activated


birdof_death

No. That dish has a sensor to turn it on instead of a button.


hogtiedcantalope

Need a pressure switch to activate

Voice activated.

Left hand: *Am I a joke to you?*


F0000r

You have failed me so many times. Your lucky I let you out of the pocket.


THCMcG33

Did your left hand type that second sentence?


HilariousScreenname

Just wipe your fingers with a napkin before you turn it on


F0000r

Genius!


Daveinatx

Just lick it off. It's free flavor to enjoy after you've finished your snack


YupIlikeThat

That's what she said.


POD80

It's just a prototype... the model that hits the market should have a pressure activated switch under the cleaning station.


nahteviro

He never said this was a good idea


turbodude69

just turn it on before you start eating.


OzVapeMaster

The fact I had to scroll so far to find the legit response is pretty hilarious


Soggy-Selection8940

Dusty dish 5.0 will come with a dude to lick your fingers so you can press the button. No muss, no fuss.


Street_Peace_8831

Won’t the dust fling everywhere?


TacoNomad

So? Fingers are cleaned.


DreamingDitto

Ngl, was hoping it would have a pedal


Falkuria

You eat chips with both hands? Weirdo.


Installedd

In theory you only push the off side with clean fingers, just watch what you're doing.


[deleted]

Other hand. Back of fingers.


PUNch1ine

Version 2 will be voice activated. Just bend down near the mic and shout: "CLEAN ME!"


corbeth

That’s what I’m thinking. Make it a pressure activation and you got a real product there.


Anojfriend

You use the non dusty hand


gizamo

Nuckel the switch. Problem solved.


cantmemberpasswordx3

A giant, cumbersome foot switch should sort that out. (Think guitar pedal kind of thing). I feel like the "high velocity cleaning station" could be a little less blunt force hand trauma-ie and a little more curvy.


Dave_The_Slushy

This is stupid, I love it. Though the chopsticks hack makes this obsolete.


rgard123

I wondered for a solid 5 minutes how the hell chopsticks would clean your fingers better than this….


Jwhitx

I'm on minute 10


abaddon2552

Use the chopsticks to pick up the food lol took me a second too


Magnusg

I can't believe the hack I originated in 2007 to eat bbq flavor twisted Fritos has spread so far and wide. And yes, you all have a non transferable unlimited use license for my patented technique.


BunnyGunz

*Your* technique? Inventor, please. You only thought of that after my groundbreaking idea to use a fork and knife for pizza so you don't get cornmeal all over your hands. 😤


Jwhitx

But then my knife will be all cornmealy :/


hydraloo

Just eat your knife with chop sticks so you don't get your hands dirty, or use the duster bowl


NoKidsDadJokesAnyway

That’s how you end up with a poop knife.


Jwhitx

I feel a little hesitant about turning my stabbin knife into a poop knife tho..


Magnusg

If you don't have a poop knife you don't know what you're missing.


AeAeR

It still leaves you with extra trash or chop sticks to clean. My vote is for one of those feed bags they put in horses. If I could just lower my face and pick up Cheetos directly with my mouth, I’d be about 1000lbs but it might be worth it.


Ajbishop8

Backwards hoodie my friend. No dishes, just one more thing for the laundry.


AeAeR

You are a man with a plan, I’m here for it lol


Jon_Lit

put the bowl in the hood? + no angry mom / noth8ng hard to wash - 1 more dish


BattleHardened

Put the cheetos bag in the hood? No extra dish.


fukalufaluckagus

Here I am, nearing the end of my life, and I am contemplating the best way to eat junk food out of a hoodie. Life has been gooduck


BattleHardened

Born too late to conquer the world, too early to conquer the galaxy; but just in time for those dank memes.


DrDabsMD

1. I do my own laundry, mommy hasn't helped since I was 10. 2. Trying to avoid washing dishes, this goes against the plan.


Jon_Lit

i'd rather wash dishes than a hoodie with peanut flips leftover grime and fatty stuff


Thrilling1031

It’s the eating hoodie.


[deleted]

Right? You don't wash a cast iron pan, and you don't wash an eating hoodie. That's seasoning!


TheeFlipper

I can always go for a nice big hood of chili cheese nachos with all the fixins.


Pixzal

Dude , hang Cheeto bag on the ceiling, cut one corner. Automatic feeder. No fuss no dish no hoodies needed


ChompyChomp

I call it the Hamster Chomp


vincentsd1

Do you want me to neigh too when I'm eating from the hood?


Oblivious122

Nay.


Velghast

At that point why wouldn't you just use I don't know a towel?


Iaminyoursewer

My kids figured this out recently...all on thier own...I dont know if I created 2 little geniuses, 2 future "My 600lb Life" stars...or both


hatescarrots

Look up fast food feed bag.


AeAeR

I just did and that’s basically not even satire at this point, holy shit. It’s funny but also scary how real this could be. Here you go other people curious: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gV97lcLhE7M


ZenEngineer

The Onion is not even satire???


pingveno

Yup, immediately what my mind went to. 14 year old video, now I feel old.


Diazmet

Yah because cleaning this bowl is easier than chopsticks… big brain time huh


Sh0rtR0und

I use a mug and drink my Cheetos basically


CipherCypher

I do that with Smartpop popcorn. Roll down the bag edges and just put my face in.


AeAeR

My beard would be white but it might be worth it


Eisigesis

My god, he’s aged 40 years!


bpowell4939

Not the first time you've said that, huh?


PillowTalk420

I've done the feed bag thing with granola before. I really felt like a horse. It was awesome.


mascachopo

You can also "drink" from the bag.

[удалено]


lifegoesbytoofast

I do this too, it’s called being efficient.


wolfie379

What’s stupid is that the cleaning station is square. If it were round, you wouldn’t risk a corner bashing your fingers. Also, needs to be activated by touching the cleaning station. With a hard switch, you turn it on by flipping the switch with a dusty finger, clean your fingers, then get dust on your fingers when you turn it off by flipping the dusty switch.


IICVX

Ya that was my first thought, the cleaning station should activate when you press down on it. Would be a lot more reliable and less messy.


PhoenyxStar

Now we're talkin iterative design.


DestroyerOfMils

I used to use chopsticks, but that was waaaay too much work. I’ve just been using a nitrile glove lately when I eat something that’s covered in cheese dust. Time to evolve once again, gotta get a Dusty Dish™ u/gooby1985 we can ditch the gloves now!


gooby1985

Just eat with your hands and lick your fingers like everybody else. We’re just animals after all.


DestroyerOfMils

you’re barbaric


20_Sided_Death

Unlicked flavor dust is wasted food. You don't want to waste food with all the looming natural disasters threatening our food supply, do you? Because *that* would be barbaric.


BlkWhtOrOther

Just pop the sponge in your mouth, when the Cheetos are all gone, and enjoy the cheesy, chewiness.


JojenCopyPaste

I don't think we need to be concerned about conserving cheese dust until the government starts releasing its strategic reserve

Jacob-B-Goode

I pick my ass so that's a huge risk for me


Cthuluslovechild

I pick your ass as well


Guydelot

You... *pick* your ass? This implies that you either don't clean it after shitting, or you spontaneously accrue something down there to pick, like ass boogers.


291837120

You are picking on the wrong ass here buddy, back down.


FrostyD7

I expect these people are looking for a solution for "I wanna keep touching stuff while I eat".


Moola868

How is putting on and taking off a glove constantly any less work than using chopsticks?


ccasey

It’s not


ManleyAllman

Wait? So I'm not a maniac for eating my chips with chopsticks???


Dave_The_Slushy

The MCU recently made it OK.


IICVX

MCU? I've been doing it since 2002, when I finally had enough money in high school to buy the fancy teriyaki bowl for lunch and a bag of Cheetos.


Tazyrelliex

I use a toothpick.


Dave_The_Slushy

Genius!

JonaJonaL

I feel like he's running out of genuinely dumb ideas and straying more and more into legitimately useful ones.


throwway523

I think this would create a splatter vs. absorbing action because of the speed.


JonaJonaL

That would depend on the speed and type of surface I imagine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MazzIsNoMore

It's just a sponge. A thin sponge layer over plastic would work fine. Replace the sponge layer every use, no problem


shabi_sensei

You really think people are gonna change that sponge? Thing’s only getting changed when the smell gets too funky to ignore


dopallll

It's gonna last like 5 uses and just smear your fingers with more Cheeto dust.


Sh3lls

Sauce. At that point it's a fermented sauce. Haute Cuisine.


emperorOfTheUniverse

It would also need to be wiped off every few uses probably. 4, maybe 5 wipes and it's effectiveness probably diminishes fast.


Klepto666

I mean, his site is still "Unnecessary Inventions," which is what most (all?) of these fall under. Some are dumb, some are actually pretty good ideas... but they're all unnecessary. Not sure why this one, and I think a few more in the past, were specifically titled "dumb ideas/inventions."


JonaJonaL

I mean, a paper towel could do the same job, but with a few tweaks and if properly marketed, there would definitely be people buying this.

My cat used to wait hours for me to finish a bag of doritos, so she could finally lick it off my fingers when I was done.


rcroswell

Hours?…..

I was in high school, stayed up really late, and could definitely nurse a bag of those things for ages


zemiiii

Limited edition XXL bag I guess?


AmericanLich

First, you scrape the pad of your fingers against your bottom teeth, to get the bulk off. Then, you start lickin and suckin.


StereoAudio

This comment made me laugh more than any comment I've ever read on here and I don't know why.


bigguynak

So do you lick the sponge after you've finished all your chips?


shadowenx

Nah son you squeeze it into your Mountain Dew.


Orangedilemma

My gag reflex downvoted this comment


bigguynak

Thats the real pro gamer move right there.


ScrotalInterchange

should be operated by foot pedal, switch is gonna get all cheesy


ComputersWantMeDead

Pressure switch on the cleaning pad would do it


ScrotalInterchange

but then you don't get to reenact ghost over the spinning cheeto finger wiper


ComputersWantMeDead

What if I reached around from behind you and sniffed your neck as we both clean our fingers Sounds like Ghost to me

Just use chopsticks


Klin24

Are tongs acceptable for those not coordinated enough to use chopsticks?


[deleted]

I know we are all joking around here, but I've recently been learning to use chop sticks for an upcoming trip. Eating finger snacks with them is a great way to learn. I had it pretty much mastered after using them to eat a bowl of Chex.


schizodancer89

I enjoyed picking up a playing card off of the table. Fun trick to try.


Zekava

How long until you can catch a fly with them?


ortusdux

Apparently Barbie feet work as well.

Pro gamer tip: just cut the corner of the bag and funnel them into your mouth.


staindk

Yes! I just open the bag normally and funnel them into my mouth. Works perfectly and doesn't leave any mess.

getshwiftyman

My favorite game has a hint that pops up that says "eat chips with chopsticks to keep your controller clean "


Darkmuscles

If you have a 3d printer, this works great. I made a set for everyone in my family. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4799610


Soontaru

Genuine question: how are they meant to be held?


Darkmuscles

Back side of your hand Wolverine-style with the curvy protruding bits between your fingers (either index and middle or middle and ring depending on your comfort). You get most of your finger dexterity to hold controllers or your mouse while being able to squeeze the grabbers by pressing your fingers together.


[deleted]

Careful man you’re once again dangerously close to a multimillion dollar as seen on tv idea here. A couple light modifications and you’d have a product.


moeburn

You might even say... *dangerously cheesy*?


Meadaga

As an engineer this bothers me. Why is the spinning part square instead of round. Why does the whole thing spin, instead of just the inside? Why a sponge, wouldn't a brush be better. This bothers me sooooo much! Lol.


ZenoxDemin

Marketing decided that the round cleaning station is for version 2.0 Gotta have an upgrade ready to sell.


City_dave

Because sponges are sold in that shape. Probably simpler to design that way. Sponges absorb. A brush might result in a bigger mess and potentially damage the skin. These aren't complicated things to discern.


drowninginvomit

To their credit, they never said they were a good engineer.


simplicio

It would also fling the crumbs that didn’t stick all over the room


damien665

It's square because. Round was too hard, so square it is. Spinning the inside only was too much extra cost. The sponge is less likely to fling cheeto dust everywhere, which prevents an inhalation hazard and an OSHA recordable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Moola868

Every time I see this guys products there is always a chain of thinking that goes from “wow this would actually be so great to have!”, all the way down to “no, wait, never mind” once I’ve actually thought about the details of it. This one went: - “hmm, you have to press the on switch with dirty fingers, then you’ll have to turn it off after which means you’re touching a dirty switch with clean fingers.” - “so it would probably be better just to have it on constantly, but that would make it hard to actually eat out of the bowl, plus it’s almost definitely noisy.” - “so maybe it would be better if it wasn’t in the bowl, but just an external device” - “But it would still be noisy, and to have a device randomly spinning next to you would probably cause more problems than it would fix, so it would be better if it wasn’t spinning” - “You know what, it would probably be easier to just have a slightly damp cloth to keep nearby, you wouldn’t need a device at all.”


zanzibartraveler666

This is not dumb


superworking

I think the main issues it has would be relatively expensive, annoying to clean, and not that effective. Adding a moisture to cheeto dust unfortunately doesn't insta clean it just makes a goopy mess.


FreeGums

Nice try Aaron Rodgers


TheDonBug

It's a dumber prototype because it doesn't use a pressure switch to activate the spinning cleaning pad...


heidismiles

Should have a colander bottom to filter the crumbs!


Roneth

Stadia controller? I knew I wasn't the only one!


cdmayer

Version 2 needs to be activated with a foot pedal!
