Re-watching the Back to the Future movies recently, I remembered how deeply the tween me once longed for a hover board like the one Michael J. Fox races around the Hill Valley of 2015. While it’s unlikely that we’ll see a real hover board on the market in the next five years, the 30-something me still wants one.
Over at TheGloss, they have a rundown of the 10 Best Fictional Beauty Products, which encompasses everything from The Beach cologne from Seinfeld to Dapper Dan pomade from O Brother Where Art Thou? to Dr. Flimflam’s Miracle Cream from Futurama.
Just off the top of our collective heads, there’s also the cool inventions like Flubber, the yummy snacks like 30 Rock’s Sabor de Soledad chips, the disgusting devices like Bass-O-Matic from Saturday Night Live and the downright dangerous Cornballer from Arrested Development.

Time machine. There have been various versions but I kinda like the Delorian.
If I can’t have one of those, then a ‘squid’ from Strange Days or even better the device from Brainstorm is easier to wear.
The TARDIS beats that any day! Unlimited storage, space travel and an indoor pool.
Star Trek Replicator or that similar one from 5th Element. Would make cooking Thanksgiving dinner so easy!!!

A magic wand and the ability to use it.
The orgasmatron is a fictional device in the fictional future society of 2173 in the Woody Allen movie Sleeper. It is a large cylinder big enough to contain one or two people. Once entered, it contains some (otherwise undescribed) future technology that rapidly induces orgasms. This is required, as almost all people in the Sleeper universe are impotent or frigid, although males of Italian descent are considered the least impotent of all groups.
The main character Miles Monroe, played by Allen, is being hunted by the police as being subversive to security of the state, and attempts to hide in it, thinking it is a closet. He is discovered there, and easily captured in a daze, with a sheepish smile on his face.
Another, related device, an orb also appears in this movie. It is a silver-colored sphere about the size of a grapefruit that contains some (otherwise undescribed) future technology. When the orb is touched by a human, it induces pleasurable sensations. In a scene where Miles impersonates a robotic servant, he is ordered by the hostess to pass the orb among the guests. Unlike the robot he is imitating, he is not immune to the effects of the orb. Much physical humor results from his reaction to firmly holding this device, which party participants only lightly caress.
Later on, they encounter a gay male couple, one of whom offers Miles a “hit off the orb”. Miles reports that he’s “cool” and does not need to indulge. It appears the effect of the orb is more like social drinking or drug use, pleasurable rather than orgasmic.

The food machine from the USS Enterprise from Star Trek. I’d love to be able to walk up to a machine and say “Steak!” and have it hand me a perfectly done steak.
Not the one from Red Dwarf.. it kept handing out boots. :/
I would like to have one of the cat books from Red Dwarf, to see what it’s like to have a whole story told in smells. Or maybe not.
