Packaging that changes colour when food spoils
A Brazilian company has partnered with universities in the U.S. and Brazil to create food packaging that will change color to alert you when it spoils. The package uses PH indicators to determine whether the food has spoiled. The first prototype of the technology was released last year. If successfully incorporated, it could help with problems of food waste and prevent consumers from navigating confusing labels.

A straw that prevents date rape
This straw has two strips on the end that can detect roofies (Rohypnol), GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid) and Ketamine, which are overwhelmingly the most common club drugs used on women. If even the smallest trace of drugs is present in a drink, the tip of the straw will turn blue. http://www.inspiremore.com/date-rape-straw/?

A bike with a built-in bar
A small wooden box is built to fit the exact dimensions of the negative space on a bicycle and then gets filled with everything you need for drinks in the park. There's even a tiny fold-out table. Of course, you could also use this for picnic supplies like fruit, cheese and a baguette should you prefer. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bike-has-built-in-bar-its-blowing-our-minds-sarah-ling
