X-Ray Specs (novelty)
X-Ray Specs are an American novelty item, purported to allow the user to see through or into solid objects. In reality the glasses merely create an optical illusion; no X-rays are involved. The current version is sold under the name X-Ray Spex; an essentially identical product is sold under the name X-Ray Gogs.

Famous quotes containing the word specs:
“About twenty years ago
Two girls came in where I worked
A bosomy English rose
And her friend in specs I could talk to.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
