Wearing lab goggles while chopping onions

No more tears or burning eyeballs, tyvm! I kept my pair from the chemistry lab in college (they’ve been well cleaned) specifically for this purpose. Keep them in the knife drawer and it adds no time to your prep. I imagine swim goggles would also work, though Lord knows I’d fog those things up in 15 seconds flat.

Bonus: guaranteed to make a spouse or housemate laugh when they find you in the kitchen rocking these bad boys.
