    Actually - I have thought of something: a round (as in circular) baking pan with a little lip at some point on the perimeter, a lip like the one you'd find on a jug? That way when you go to pour the fat from your roast out and into a container for storage/disposal, you're much less likely to spill any.

    Now to sit back and rake in the dollars.

    Called a cast iron skillet. Pretty standard kitchen stuff.

    A pill that eliminates hangovers
    I'm not a girl, and I don't know what a "Mendolorian" is.. I think it might be a self healing car that travels through time.

    No, a baking pan. That you put in your oven (or convection microwave). Too big for a handle. I've seen a skillet before.

    That looks more like a suppository than a pill.

    A litre of orange juice and a mug of tea will cure a hangover in most cases or at least make it manageable.

    Actually what I would like is a nutritionally balanced food that can be compressed into a bar that contains everything you need in the proper proportions. If it tastes good then that's a bonus.

    Already exists. There is an instant sober pill that blocks the receptors on the brian to cloride ion uptake. Makes you stone cold sober in seconds. Not available because the alcohol is still in your blood so (a) when the pill wears off you become instantly drunk again, (b) you would fail a blood alcohol test, and (c) you could drink yourself to death via alcohol poisoning without realising it.

    Would still need water for the dehydration though.

    MREs? You did say it didn't necessarily have to taste good...

    That's actually a sinister way to assassinate someone. Get them to ingest the substance, then get them to go on a pub crawl.

    Methinks you've never had a real hangover.

    I intend to be on a team that figures out how to make living in microgravity manageable. Through genetic engineering, possibly.

    They say hindsight is 20/20 but you'd need the hubble telescope of temporal glasses to see that far in to the past
    I tried to be cool and all I got was a lousy warning about my sig being too big.

    Apple should patent closed systems and appstore, then sue Microsoft over Windows 8.
