"use your head, use your foot"

We have all been faced with the predicament of opening a dirty door with newly washed hands.  There are few logical solutions to this; for the most part we either stuck it out, opened the door with a paper towel in our hands, used our pinky or tried to maneuver our foot onto the door handle.





All of these solutions have their downfall:  germs, wasteful, difficult/dangerous.  Well, a group of University of Minnesota students have isolated the problem and come up with The Toepener.  With three easy steps of step, pull, walk, this invention makes it so it is comfortable for you to use your foot to open the door and never use your hands.



What an easy solution to a problem we all face but never thought there was another way.  The interesting thing is, these students are not designers, in fact they are business management students.  This is a great product to start their career.
