| Post subject: | More useless kitchen gadgets |
Here's a few, mostly from WorstThingsForSale. Of course, what I'm really interested in is who doesn't consider them useless. The other thing to think about is that most of these gadgets had an inventor, who thought that gadget was his/her ticket to wealth and fame. Butter Grinder: http://theworstthingsforsale.com/2015/0 ... r-grinder/ My thought: that's some very cold butter. Herb Scissors: http://theworstthingsforsale.com/2015/0 ... -scissors/ My thought: Let me show you this video, "how to sharpen a knife". Taco Toaster: http://theworstthingsforsale.com/2015/0 ... o-toaster/ My thought: I'm sorry I don't participate in workplace grab-bag gifting anymore. Butter Cutter: http://www.amazon.com/Inventions-Market ... B000Q9YXXK Why do gadget makers always think that people need more gadgets for butter? Or do they just think folks who eat a lot of butter are particularly gullible? Snow Globe Salt & Pepper Shakers: http://www.amazon.com/Snow-Globe-Pepper ... B0088NY9K8 Ok, now I really want a grab-bag gift exchange. |

Some days, it was so cold in my kitchen this year that I took the butter out of the bread box and grated it. The box grater was adequate for the task, however. |

My suspicion is that a bunch of "entrepreneurs" saw this kickstarter and figured they would jump on a market no one knew existed. |

Paul, $360K is a lot of butter. |

Herb Scissors need at least a little respect for longevity. It has been a very bad kitchen tool for a very long time. |
