Ear Full by Jane Venis

 * a tuba-like instrument with a long spiral tube; when you blow into it comes out of the horn, which is facing your own ear.

* a post nasal drip preventer in the form of a trough placed under the nose.

*  and pants with a seat attached to them, so you can sit down wherever and whenever you want.

The 2009 Dunedin Fringe Festival had some cool Chindogu too....

6.   The Chewing Gum Holder Chindogu

Gabriela Vinte Marinescu made the holder so you can chew it again later.
