Opens Wide And Says 'Don't Touch'
The humble trash can becomes a cheap form of entertainment with the Touchless, whose lid flies open automatically, settling back down silently three seconds later. Simply wave your eggshells in front of its sensor or -- if you are a dog -- stand within six inches and bark. The can, made of stainless steel and able to hold 13 gallons, means no more stamping on foot-operated versions, and no need to touch -- unless you want to change the bag or the lid's four D-size batteries. Scheduled to arrive at Target stores in June, the can is $99 at itouchless.com or (800) 660-7978.
