11 ridiculous ‘smart’ gadgets that totally exist Part 1

October 11, 2017

Quirky Egg Minder

The Quirky Egg Minder solves a question as old as time itself: “Why can’t I connect my egg tray to the internet?”

Made in partnership with GE, this thing syncs with your smartphone and sends you push notifications when you’re on the verge of being eggless. LED lights on the tray itself tell you which of its 14 eggs nearing their expiration date.

Hidrate Spark

The Hidrate Spark is one of a few “smart water bottles” that’ve popped up in recent years, most of which do the same thing: pair with a companion app over Bluetooth, then walk you through staying properly hydrated.

Brita Infinity WiFi Connected Pitcher

Tech companies are all in on this water thing, apparently. The $45 Brita Infinity bills itself as “the future of hydration” — it works like any other Brita you’ve seen, only it can sense when its current purification filter has outlived its usefulness.

When it does, it’ll automatically order a new $6 filter from Amazon. (Brita teamed with Amazon’s Dash Replenishment Service for this one, if that wasn’t clear.)

Kuvée Bottle

As we’ve told you before, Kuvée wants to a “Keurig for wine.” Its WiFi-connected, touchscreen-enabled wine bottle sleeve — which raised $6 million in funding earlier this year — works with a select number of wine “cartridges.” Slot one in, and you can scroll through various tidbits about what you’re drinking.
