Silliest Gadget Ever!

I saw the silliest thing on HGTV last night. It was a small Gadget looked sorta like a "juicer" ....but you take a raw egg, hold it over a needle sticking up, pierce the bottom of the egg, it then STIRS the raw egg inside the shell, then you break the egg and the TV Guy said you then have the "world's best scrambled egg"!! I could hardly believe my eyes! Now....who in the world cannot stir their own egg in a bowl?

Any other stupid Gadgets?

I don't own one, and don't plan on it, but they aren't hard to clean only the "needle" needs cleaned.

I think that it's a waste also, but I can see why someone who has automated everything might think they need one.

They did have to clean out the thing. The TV man pierced the egg but when the 2nd person tried to use the Gadget, the egg broke all over the Gadget several times.

How'd you like the $80 orange juice juicer. The silver thing that looked like a rocket ship?

My Chinese roommate does the same thing with a chopstick. Works like a charm. But sometimes she cracks the egg in a bowl and then stirs it with a chopstick. I don't know why she does it one way versus another.

The silliest one I've seen lately is a pair of scissors that are designed to cut salad. I guess they are for people who don't know how to use a knife and cutting board.
