Behold! Chocolate-Proof Shoes

The part about the submerged iPhone seems a bit misleading. In cases like that it's not about whether the water sticks to it, it's about whether the water can get in through the cracks. Any sort of sealant would take care of that.

But oil-repellent, you say? So they could coat things like computer mice and tablet pens with it and I wouldn't have the problem of skin oil getting them all shiny and funny-feeling. Unless the stuff wears off over time. Which it probably would. Hmm.

This is....seriously fucking amazing. I don't care if someone tells me I'm easily amused, this is something fucking awesome in my book.

Wait, wouldn't that have the opposite effect?

Either it would repel the oils on your skin and be an awesome slip 'n' slide, or there would not be enough oil to make that work and you could coat your front or back or entire body with the stuff and make a regular slip 'n' slide. Either way, lightspeed slip 'n' slide.
