6. Noodle Guard

We've all been there before. You've had lunch at the finest noodle bar in town. You've spent the afternoon shopping, bought a terrific new jacket and feel on top of the world at how many people are staring and pointing at you. Then you catch sight of yourself in a shop window and-disaster-you've been walking round with stray noodles hitch-hiking in your hair. Fear no more. The latest fashion accessory from the Orient is a large fabric fan that you stick your face through, thus covering your hair and ears from all that food that would otherwise lurk about your head for the rest of the day. And it comes in neon pink, too. Thanks to this invention, no longer will you end up looking ridiculous.
