Life is full of tiny, ridiculous frustrations. We're talking about the corner of the rug that wants to send you to the great beyond, the single squeaky cabinet door that announces your midnight snack to the entire house, or the mysterious puddle that forms around the kitchen sink no matter what you do. These aren't world-ending catastrophes, but they are the tiny paper cuts on the soul of your day-to-day existence. But things don't have to be like this... Prepare to upgrade your life in the most wonderfully petty ways imaginable.

I do wish it came in a brown tint as black tint is hard for me to see through sometimes but I’m getting really nit picky now.

#27 Stop Accidentally Deep-Frying Your Morning Eggs By Getting A Controlled, Even Spray With This Olive Oil Sprayer
Review: "I was looking forward to trying this spray bottle because though we love using olive oil in our cooking, the calories can add up fast. This allows me to lightly coat a pan or spray directly onto meats and vegetables for browning without using too much. I can use good quality olive oils and forego the store bought spray cans that contain so little product. The spray pattern is nice and uniform, no wild spray going everywhere. If you flip the little thumb latch at the top of the bottle you can pour oil also, so it does double duty. I've been using it to add a light spray of olive oil onto air-popped popcorn, adding a wonderful flavor and aroma without adding too many extra calories. A little sea salt on top and it's perfect. I didn't think oil would spray from a bottle very well without aerosol, but I am pleasantly surprised!" - Susan Vanderhoof
