that egg cracker is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. I hate infomercials that make things seem so difficult. I never make a mess when I crack eggs. I mean really, I think even a retard could crack an egg without making a mess all over the kitchen. Thousands of years without a special tool for cracking eggs, humanity seemed to do just fine without it.

I only counted 6 things I would actually want on this list, and the egg cracker was definitely not one!

So this crowbar thing… Is that only available in the distant future? I see the guy had to take out an alien with it too.

What impressed me most is the Spaghetti Measure: no more worries to the quantity cooked!

The can crushing frog looks plastic. If so I don’t see it lasting long but a cute idea although unnecessary.
Everything up to that point was pretty cool as well as the corn roaster. Hamburger presses have been around for decades. The rest is dorky.

They are almost all of them useless and unnecessary. Making and consuming product like this is a waste of resources.

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking stuff. 99% of “new” kitchen gadgets are impractical because they don’t improve the situation over what a little practice can get you, and they always require extra overhead of storage and cleaning.
The only thing here that looks remotely appealing to me is the the placemat, because it is interesting and acts as a natural learning tool. Everything else I would donate to good will, even if I got them as a gift. (Ok, maybe I’d keep the crowbar bottle opener, because it’s funny.)

i like pretty much all of them, i agree with delere that the frog looks plastic but it would be better if they made it out of metal. the ez cracker is ridiculous i mean its not that hard to crack an egg. the onion goggles look kool but why not just wear swimming goggles that are only $3

There’s only a few things I see to be practical here, all are useful but in terms of kitchen use.. I don’t think anybody that works in a kitchen will use it much or at all.
I mean, the measure for Spaghetti may seem useful but it does not actually fully measure to a person’s appetite. Some may want more and some may just want a lil less. I know of this cause I have one utensil in the kitchen that serves quite the same purpose, only difference is it comes as a scoop in the same time.
Closest example I could get :

The onion goggle is one of those products that makes me go ‘facepalm’ What difference are they to any goggles?!
As for Banana peeler, can’t you peel the skin of a banana from the bottom? It has been done for many centuries and it’s still not messy?
EZ Cracker is only good for those oh-so-flashy new hand in cooking.
Frog could have been steel, plastic don’t last.
As for everything else, meh~ They’re quite alright

Firstly who the hell cooks bacon in a microwave and second who the hell WANTS to minimize the smell of bacon cooking? It’s an AWESOME smell!

what would be great is an attachment to go on any can that puts a bottle topper (with cap) on it so you can keep it carbonated.
Mar 20th, 2010
GhoS
A couple of interesting things. While the spaghetti gadget is cool, they used to put measuring circles right on the boxes, worked perfectly. I haven’t seen them anymore (at least on store brand).
Cory the bottle top attachment is real, I’ve seen it. Although from what I read it doesn’t seem to keep it any more carbonated.

haha well put nick. exactly. who really has trouble cracking eggs? i feel like if you fail at that, then you shouldnt be near a stove anyway.

I thought the frog was the most ridiculous. A lot of people here are knocking it for being made out of plastic, but hell - even if it were made of stainless steel, it’s still just something in the way between the can and my foot!! And don’t give me any “perfectly crushed cans” nonsense, they’re going into a bag in the crawlspace, not a display.

Crowbars save the day. This time you can open a beer while not breaking a step battling headcrabs.

The crowbar is actually a Half Life reference, which is a game. I think it’s supposed to be more funny than practical. That alien looks like the head crabs. Whatever they call them in Half Life

oh my god. who is incapable of peeling a banana? it’s a primate instinct in all of us. The spaghetti / Corn grill are probably the best ideas on this one.

…if you’ve got more money than you need gimmicks. Probably not a great time in American history for gadgets.

Why would you want to reduce the smell of bacon in your kitchen? makes no sense!
