Just for fun: The answer!

This industrial smokestack-looking-thing is really a french bread slicer! (By the looks of it, I think it might turbo it's way through french bread in 2 seconds.) If you're in dire need to obliterate your french bread, check out the product page for it.

I think this week's mystery thingie might be one of the hardest to guess yet (but I could be wrong...). Look for the answer on Thursday (I'm away Friday!). :)

Just for fun: the answer!

Yes, mad props go out to Cynthia and her crazy eyesight (thanks in part to new glasses, I think!). She hawk-eyed the logo -- which I thought was small enough to not give away too much...

It's a foot-powered generator.

Here's this week's mystery thingie up on the block for guessing:

Just for fun: The answer!

It's Friday again, and it's time for the answer to this week's strange looking device...

It's a SPAGHETTI TESTER. Yes, you read right. Why anyone would need one of these is beyond me. But let's have them try and sell it to us anyways:

"Anyone can cook spaghetti. Nonetheless it demands a certain skill. Particularly if you wish your spaghetti to be neither chewy nor starchy, but rather to enjoy it the only possible way: al dente. The fine line between hard and soft, firm to the bite and a perfect vehicle for the sauce. Handy if you have a Neapolitan mamma for such eventualities. Or the spaghetti tester AL DENTE from Pott. A beautiful object which is more reliable than any recommended cooking time on the packet. For spaghetti with bite: AL DENTE from Pott."

I need to get me a neapolitan mamma! ;)

This week's item might be a gimme, but I'll wait and see if anyone manages to guess correctly!

Just for fun: The answer!

Why's it's a raclette from Bron Coucke! And for those of you (including me) who had no clue what this is for, here's the description for it:

The “Party Raclette” is designed to hold 0.64 cm (¼ in.) blocks of cheese. Its vertical burner allows you to enjoy the ambiance of the French Riviera right at your table! The 600‑watt heating element is placed directly over the cheese, slowly melting a layer which is then easily removed onto your plate.

I've always wanted the French Riviera right at my table, and now I can! ;)

It's time for another guessing game...no hints! Look for the answer on Friday!

Just for fun: The answer!

Well, one smartie got this item right (although we can only put the congrats out to 'anonymous')! It's a Zeno Pro.
Here's what the manufacturer says about it:

Zeno is a hand-held battery-operated device designed with a tip that heats to a pre-set temperature.  The biocompatible tip is designed for direct contact with a blemish on the skin.  Once in contact with a blemish, the tip will transfer heat into the follicle.

It also comes in more colours than blue, so you can zap those pimples in style.

Now here's a harder one to guess this week... go wild everyone!

Just for fun: The answer!

This week's wasn't that challenging (thanks to me not photoshopping out the name of the product on the photo!). Yes, it's a Stress Eraser. Designed to make you aware of your breathing and calm you down (um, most high stress days for me would require more than just that!).

I think next week's will be a little tougher!

Seeing as the last 'mystery item' was so much fun...here's another interesting 'thing' I came across. No hints on this one, but I will tell you that I removed the logo(s) that were on the side of it.
Answer to come on Friday! Happy guessing! ;)

Just for fun: The answer!

Well, here it is. It's not a personal zamboni, pencil sharpener or leaf-picker-upper.
It's a lawnmower -- specifically a 'hovercraft' style one, a Flymo Turbo Compact 300.

I'm not going to say what this is...but take your guess in the comments and I'll have the answer on Friday!
(It almost reminds me of a bobsled!)
