Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

This product features temperature sensors that turn the flowing water different colors depending on whether it is hot or cold. Therefore, it transforms plain water into an attractive colorful flow while making sure that users do not have to touch the water to find out its temperature. Typically, the water turns blue when it is cold and red if it is hot, which makes it intuitive enough for small children to understand.
