Onion Goggles protect you from cruel onions
Onions are delicious; they're anti-carcinogenic and also help prevent allergies, asthma and diabetes. You could even say onions are one of our best allies, if it weren't because each time you peel one you end up suffering and crying!
How is it that this seemingly inoffensive vegetable is capable of moving us to tears? Well, it seems onions contain an organic compound that liberates certain enzymes that are transformed into sulphenic acids once the onion is cut... we don't really understand how this works, but it can't be good news. Maybe if you peeled genetically modified onions this sort of thing wouldn't happen, but we all know real onions are better.
If you want to continue to enjoy this vegetable's many beneficial properties, yet refuse to shed another tear, you'll need this revolutionary invention for peeling onions: Onion Goggles. Sure, laugh at them all you want, but once you try them, you'll wonder why you hadn't bought them before.
They're a simple pair of goggles, like the kind you wear to go skiing, and they'll help protect your eyes from cruel unfeeling onions. Hang them next to the dish rack and the food mill so you'll always have them at hand! It's a great gift for amateur cooks and for people with a tendency towards depression. Also available in pink.
