Product Description

Say goodbye to tearing, stinging, irritated eyes when chopping, mincing, dicing and slicing onions and their relatives—leeks, scallions and chives. Wearing the stylish and comfortable Onion Goggles will protect the eyes from irritating onion vapors. The soft foam seal keeps out the nasty onion vapors. When onions are cut, an enzyme called sulfoxide lyase and sulfuric compounds are released from the broken cells. When exposed to air, they react with one another to form a vapor. As this vapor evaporates, it irritates our eyes and causes us to cry. Kitchen folklore remedies such as burning candles or matches, slicing onions under water and freezing the onions before cutting are not effective.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT original onion goggles...GARBAGE, November 29, 2008

By	Pilotmom (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

NOT happy- I own original onion goggles and thought i'd buy them for gift for family members. Wow- these are NOT what they claim to be. Not original RSVP mechandise, and they do not allow returns. Why should I contact the seller, they have to know they're thieves. Buyer beware, photo shows real product, you receive cheap knock offs that don't even fit right. Very unhappy with amazon for allowing fraudulent items.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't cry for me, January 18, 2007

These goggles really work.....I put them on then chop onions...no tears! And, they actually improve my vision a little, so I would highly recommend to people sensitive to onions.

5.0 out of 5 stars No more tears!, November 16, 2007

By	annielaurie "lover of books, music, animals, ... (Saint Paul, MN) - See all my reviews

Well, I used to look absolutely ridiculous, and now I look slightly less ridiculous. A la "Diva," an '80s French cult film with a guy who chopped onions wearing a mask and snorkel, I used to tromp into the kitchen with mine because my eyes bothered me so much when I'd chop onions. Enter the Onion Goggles! And yes, they really DO work. You do NOT have to have your nose covered, as I'd once believed. So far I've bought a pair for my son, myself, my brother, and a friend. The only downside is that they don't fit over eyeglasses, but since I'm not terribly farsighted this isn't a problem for me. If your eyes are sensitive to onion fumes, try these. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
