Is there any worse sound than when you're vacuuming, and suddenly hear the whining interrupted by that "FWUPP" noise that means you just sucked up a small object? What the eff was that? My wedding ring? A piece of crucial medication? That special screw I dropped and have been looking everywhere for? That SD card with all of my financial data on it?

I know, it has all the makings of an "As Seen on TV" gizmo that you order late at night after having a couple of Heinekens then receive a week later and say "What was I thinking." As you go to take the recycling out a pair of green Heineken bottles seem to be mocking you through the transparent bag. However, I do think it would actually be useful.

German-speakers: I am certain you guys have invented a word for the feeling that follows hearing the "FWUPP" noise. Please type it in the comments below, along with a pronunciation guide.

I supported them on Kickstarter well over a year ago. They've run into trouble launching. Still waiting for mine.
