Minus Is An Odor Free High Tech Garbage Can

Mankind has made a lot of technological progress over the years, some quite drastic in nature.   However, one thing that has not changed much at all is something that we all deal with on a daily basis.  Garbage.  It pretty much stinks as much now as it did a long time ago.

However, there is a new concept trash can that seeks to change all of that.  The Minus garbage can uses a mixture of antibacterial ultraviolet light and refrigeration to keep garbage in check.  The concept is a solid one – how many of you have had the unfortunate experience of the fridge breaking down?  The smells come fast if you don’t take actions quick, trust me.

So, I can see the Minus doing its job as intended, and doing it well.  But would Joe Average pay extra for a non-smelly garbage?  Not just the cost up front, but the on-going electric charge.  Not to mention the chances that the trash can could break down, needing repair.  Well, I am one to tell you that yes, he probably would.  For several reasons.  1, It lights up and has a digital display. Never underestimate the power of those qualities when redecorating.   2, If a device can make allow Joe to avoid taking out the trash until it was absolutely full, then it adds to Joe’s quality of laziness life. This alone makes it a possible big seller (depending on price, of course).  And 3, If it can potentially double as an emergency beer cooler, the MacGuyver in Joes everywhere may see a hidden jewel here.

Of course, you could get an old fridge somewhere and just use that as your garbage container.  But to be honest with you, that concept is in use every day, especially when it comes to men living on their own.  So again, what we have here a proven concept.  But for the Minus to be a real success I hope they take into consideration the need to dump pizza boxes – otherwise they may be missing out on a large segment of potential customers.
