Stupidest product of 2010 and it's only January 2nd
Edited on Sat Jan-02-10 03:13 PM by Liberal_in_LA
Anyone see the commercial for the Shake Weight barbell? OMG. Battery operated barbell that shakes up and down. OMG. BTW...those batteries must run down pretty quickly.

11. The only thing that would make this product more laughable
is making it squirt you in the face if you use it for more than 5 minutes.

24. So far, that one takes the ...cake..
there are sane people looking at that commercial and wondering how Americans can be so stupid that they cannot crack an egg.
Yet be smart enough to actually use the plastic thing, which has 3 parts!

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

25. Someone who has the use of only one hand
might find this really useful. Stroke victims, amputees etc.

30. But you need two hands to put the egg in it
Edited on Sat Jan-02-10 05:50 PM by woo me with science
unless you lie it on its side and manipulate it that way.

I can crack an egg one-handed more easily than I could get an egg into that thing.

31. Anyone can crack an egg with one hand..
All it takes is practice. That machine is a solution without a problem IMO.

I used to work brunch and had to crack about 50 dozen eggs on Sunday mornings, I got REALLY good at it, cracking two eggs at a time, one egg in each hand. A good pace was a dozen in 15 seconds.

32. Stupidest product of all time, IMO
"Perfect Pancake" Pan

http://www.perfectpancake.net/

if you don't turn the entire pan over the correct way, raw pancake batter comes flying out the sides.


Plus you can only cook one at a time.


But hey...it looked great on TV

duh.... :silly:
