Look at the conk on that. No, we said conk, as in hooter. For this is a device with nasal wit in its creation, and bodily cleanliness at heart. For although one may question the sanity of the delivery mechanism, there is no question as to its humorous intent.

Permit us to explain and verbally decongest. The Nose Gel Dispenser is not, as the name suggests, a dispenser of Nose Gel, whatever that is. It is, however, a nose-shaped dispenser of gel. A dispenser of gel, in the shape of a nose. Excellent.

When affixed to the wall of one's shower and duly filled with one's favourite variety of bodily detergent, it provides single doses when squeezed. The gel oozes out in a mucus-like manner, guaranteeing hilarity and boyish high-spirits all-round.

As the direct descendent of the legendary Soap on a Rope, it is capable of dispensing gels, lotions and potions of all manners and descriptions. Clearly, some colours and scents are preferable to others. Gunge-tank Green may be truly fit for this purpose, however Mrs Gadgetshop recommends a restful Lily of the Valley, with just a hint of Lavender for a good night's sleep.

In short, it's what our American cousins would call 'gross'. But we rather like it.
