It's a tossup between the banana slicer and the Rollie egg cooker!

Did you see the Colbert segment on the Rollie egg cooker? It was pretty funny.

Darcie, it really was.

SS, i'm with you. the only useful ones I can see are the sandwich maker (for students/singles) and the lime slicer (for bartenders)
Niche market stuff.

Some gadgets are really tools for doing volume work, like the lime wedger. Cutting one lime? A knife is grand. Cutting dozens of limes? The wedger is better.
The rest of the bunch, however, are just plain silly.

the scary thing is that I was already aware of all of those
devices.

now, if someone would only create a device for quick splitting and juicing key limes ...

Now, I also would say every single one. I could probably be talked into buying any one of them though. Wanna see my sucker of the year award?
