Wouldn’t you love to have proper manner, or etiquette as it is otherwise known? Well, this device checks your etiquette in a different way. It tells you if you have bad breath. All you do is blow into the sensor, and you will get a “breath quality reading” on a scale of 1 to 6. I am not sure who tested this to make sure it was on scale, but that’s another story.

“The device is also able to measure your blood alcohol level, and will provide a reading in 0.5 increments so you know if you’ve enjoyed yourself too much to get behind the wheel of a car. You can find it at Japan Trend Shop for $59.”

I like silly USB gadgets, if you don’t already know. But most of them get old pretty fast. But this one, called Tengu is pretty cool, and will keep your interest for a while.

“Tengu is a little USB-powered device that responds to voice and music, and while this is the standard modus operandi of most useless USB gadgets, Tengu can actually lip-synch to music or your voice.”
