After GM foods and peoples (genuine worries) about nanotechnologies amd the likes, here comes "NeverWet" - one of the weirdest things ive seen marketed to the public chemically, and... well read the short article... too weird!

I work in food service and have been waiting for this to hit the market so I can use it on tennis shoes I wear in the kitchen. If it works, I could spend more on shoes to save my aching feet, knowing that they won't get destroyed quite as fast.

heheh!
good point! - used to go through so many pairs when in catering!

Amazing, I love science. I feel we're one step closer to hoverboards.

Ok, after watching the video they have, I want to order 10000000 cans of this stuff.

But they still can't make air in big cities breathable...

and maybe your shoes will repel you if its a sweaty day? - this is what im on about - has anyone really thought about the porblems this product poses?! this is why smoking came first and remains popular with those that avoid rush hour traffic and excercise via a bicycle

I would have already coated my trousers in neverwet. Or possibly in the future all clothes will be pre-coated in everlasting-neverwet™ and toilets will be a different experience altogether, with people just walking in and standing there fully clothed, unleashing their fluids into a mass drain via guttering sewn into their space fabrics.

God the future sounds horrible. Apart from the hoverboards. !

i thought the 1970s did a version of that with crimplene?

No-one thought crimplene would be a prototype for the future.

I do wonder what would happen if someone used this stuff as a poison. It sounds like something out of a nightmare. Or a lubricant. Ugh. I need to get back to focusing on hoverboards.

Because there is no money in that unless people are willing to pay for air. This stuff is also perfect if you keep a drink next to your computer. So many times, my laptop came close to death because of a drink.

I'm curious about some things though.
If you coat your entire toilet with NeverWet does that mean if you piss into the toilet, right after, the piss will come flying back at you? And I wonder, if you spray your entire body with NeverWet, will you become a Batman villain who wants to make the world wet so nothing can stop him or her?

Good work, squints!
Now get back and make a NeverDRM spray and play thingee, pronto!

[edit: oh, i got 997 (police emergency number) rep, guess i've got a *glasses* repsheet. YEAH!]

LOL

Just spray the base coat and top coat on your monitor when your Steam library is showing and watch every game in the library turn into a GOG!

Or the games will just slide down into oblivion, better install a nice GOG tray underneath.;)
You heard that GOG merchandise? GOG TRAY!
