I think I need these

Onion goggles!  To protect you from the nasty fumes of an onion.  Or a scallion.  Or anything like that.  I can't totally imagine myself really whipping out my onion goggles to chop something up, but I kind of wish I was fashion-forward enough to do so....

What say you?  Worth the $20 (on Amazon, $24 on thinkgeek)?  Or, better yet, what tricks work for you to avoid those painful onion tears?

i bet she would! i dare you, cheryl.

i chop up onions on a cutting board over the sink with cold running water nearby. i rinse that bad boy in the cold water (and as i go, the big hunks that are waiting to be chopped), and it keeps the gases in check. of course, i dice as fast as i can. then i throw each pile into a covered tupperware or something as i go. it's really a lesson in speed for me. i HATE that sting!

I'd totally put those bad boys on for free coffee.

i'm seriously contemplating putting these on my christmas wish-list. :) if i get them, then i'll buy cheryl a cup of coffee for wearing them. AND posting a picture right here on good ol' whocares.

ps--they come in more than one color. oh, yeah.

If you get them and they don't live up to your expectations, I will buy them off of you for scooter goggles... i've been looking for a pair I like :-)
