Self-Washing Shirt is Easy Enough Even for College Students

The college kid who never does laundry is kind of a cliche, but generations of parents can attest that it’s absolutely true. Tide plays on that fundamental truth with its clever self-washing shirts.

The special promotional shirts feature a common theme: crying mothers lost in despair. All of the illustrated mothers are surrounded by tears – tears that were caused by their dirty-shirted kids. But those tears are more than they appear to be. They are actually small deposits of laundry detergent.

All a college kid needs to do is to throw the shirt into a washer and press the ‘start’ button – no measuring needed. When the shirt comes out, it is clean and the mother’s tears are gone. The shirt is a totally adorable idea, but to be of any real use to college students it would need to be loaded with about a year’s worth of detergent.

One of the best parts of being a book lover is finding attractive ways to display your literature stash. Most bookshelves are just boxy pieces of furniture that don’t add much to the room. This shelf is designed to look artistic and visually fascinating.

The Balance Shelf from Cush Design Studios looks like a piece of modern wall art. The two hanging shelves are strung over a central post that lets them change positions as the weight on the shelves changes.

One side of the bookshelf is for the books you have read, and the other side is for those you have yet to read. It’s a great way to keep visual track of your reading list while displaying your books in a lovely unique way.
