Official bookofjoe Tear-Free Onion Goggles
After years of work out back in the skunkworks, success at last.
Check out these puppies.
From the website:
- Tear-Free Onion Goggles
You may look a little foolish but it's better than the pain and tears you get when chopping raw onions.
The foam seal keeps all those onion vapors out of your eyes while the anti-fog lenses provide maximum clarity.
Fits most faces but won't work over glasses.
Storage case included.
If I ever get myself pulled together enough to start having contests here, these goggles are gonna be the prize.
$19.99 (Onions not included — but I know where you can get some).

You may want to also try breathing through your mouth and not your nose while slicing onions. A friend of mine suggested it and I use that little trick to avoid the sting every time!

You know, it may not work as well as goggles, but if you light a candle near your onion while you're chopping, it helps a lot.

Have you ever seen Jean-Jacques Beineix's film Diva? There's a scene where one of the protagonists makes a full length baguette sandwich including onions. He's wearing a diving facemask and snorkel to protect him from those devilish French onions.
If you haven't seen it - try, it's a really good film.
