Shower Shock, which is currently available online, is scented with peppermint oil so you don't end up smelling like coffee. It's also infused with caffeine anhydrous and each bar of this soap contains approximately 12 servings/showers per 4 ounce bar with 200 milligrams of caffeine per serving. However, the manufacturers have warned that the soap is not recommended for pregnant women or children because of the caffeine content.

The caffeine in the 125-gram Shower Shock will last in your system for approximately four hours, the same as two cups of coffee. One bar of soap costs (US$6.99) which 10 bars cost (US $37.99)

Washup: Washing Machine & Toilet Integrated

I smiled when I first saw the above picture. I've always thought there should be a better way to benefit from used water coming out from washer machines.

"Washup" is a conceptual design by Sevin Coskun from Turkey integrating washing machine with toilet flush. It suggests a sustainable water consumption by storing the wasted water in toilette-flush tank and reuse it with flushing. Moreover, "Washup" brings a solution for the problem of location of washing machines in small bathrooms, overlapping washing machine usage space with toilette usage space.

"Washup" is fixed on wall upwards toilet, so that loading of clothes would be easier for the user without bending or crouching. A special interface including three semi-sphere control units & two flushing buttons is designed for a practical usage of the product. "Washup" is a green product offering solutions for the problems of standard washing machines.
