    I look like a fool, but I wear swimming goggles.

    Me too!! I wear my trusty Swedes. I'm not sure what's worse though, the onions or the chlorine from my goggles?!

    Haha so do I!!

    When I wore contacts, I didn't have any problems crying while cutting onions. I had laser eye surgery and now I can't cut onions without bawling. Thank God for goggles! :)

    I was told to cut the bottom of the onion last as that is where the cause of the tears is from.

    But on a side note, if your meal has potatoes, always cut the potatoes after the onion. Apparently the starch in the potato nuetralises the smell of the onion on your hands!

    Don't eat onions. Bam. ;)

    For reals though, onions are gross.
