You know inventions that work, but don't work? They're called Chindogu. In order to make sure you have a chindogu, your invention has to do the following:
1.has to make lives more convienient in some way,but make lives more inconvienient in another.
2.appears useful, but on the other hand isn't.
3.Is a gadget
4.not be for real use.
5.must work
6.be a tool for every day life
7.not be for sale
8.not be propaganda
9.not be taboo
10.be without prejudice
I think that's exactly what you just made

This came from a book i have, called 99 more (un)useless japanese inventions. It's by Kenji Kawakami,The Founder and President on the International Chindogu society. Copyright Kenji Kawakami and Dan Papia 1997

Ps, i wrote that so i won't get sued
Pss, "It's just chocolate!" (licks finger) (video ends) PTTTTTT(Spits it out!)

Great!

I have the problem that it seems that all dogs of Villa Elisa come to the lawn of my lane when they have to poop. Your invention is one of the creations of the 21st century!

I suggest you the following: put captions in the videos. So, we non-anglophone can read it and know what it is. I can understand almost 100% of written English, but about 0.3% of spoken English.

100% - 0.3% = 99.7%. That is the difference, can you see it?

Thanks for being.

To put captions is very easy, only to write them.

I think your idea is suitable even for TV clips, it can be a good source of income.

Seems like a better idea for digging...... Interesting, I never thought of that... One on each shoe, stick the nose of your foot toward the ground, and put weight on it. Just make sure you don't hurt your ankles doing so!

Well of course! I'd probably use a strap or screws to somehow attach it to the shoes.... But imagine putting on your shoe shovels, and having the screws impale your feet! Ouch! Maybe the strap would be a better option.
