Homer Simpson will protect your food from you

Those on a diet who can't resist the temptations lurking in the refrigerator will appreciate the Homer Simpson Talking Fridge Guard. Meant to sit on one of your fridge shelves, Homer will recite one of his six canned phrases ("Uh oh. Someone's gonna have a tummy ache!" "Mmmm...fattening") every time you open the door.

Aside from giving guests a good laugh, this battery-operated gadget will shame you when trying to reach for that soda or cheesecake while trying to lose weight. There's nothing quite like the world's most famous slob to remind you to stay disciplined.

Quite a few gadget sites based in the U.K. list the product as being out of stock, but with a bit of searching we're sure you will be able find an online store with a ready unit for sale. It retails for about $29.

So, when losing weight, or attempting to do so, why stock the fridge with soda and cheesecake?

Bet it will work for about a month. Condensation moisture will corrode the battery compartment.
