Babyglow babygro tells moms when their kid is sick
A pub landlord in Britain has invented a babygro that changes color to warn you if your precious little one's temperature is rising. Chris Ebejer has spent over a million bucks developing the Babyglow, whose smart fabric is coated with ink containing heat-sensitive molecules.
The garment, which is available in either pink, blue or green (yeuch) pastel, turns white when its wearer's temperature rises above 37 degrees, and has earned the 42-year-old $20 million.

Green must be for androgynous babies.

At 20 pounds(around 40 bucks US) each you are better off just buying a thermometer.

How did this turn into a million dollar project? Didn't they have Del Sol t-shirts back in the 80's in Britain?
Also, who are the parents looking to use this product? Don't most parents pick up their infants? Can't they tell if they are warm through physical contact?
I think if anything it would be more likely to tell you when the diaper needs to be changed.

That picture is so bizarre, it looks like the thing is embedded in the carpet. It's not. It is trying to screw with my brain however.
