Handy Gourmet Forever Fizz 2 Liter Soda Dispenser

Handy Gourmet JB6066 Forever Fizz

Dear Soda People,

Drink carefully.

Reviewers seem to hate this thing. The thing? The Handy Gourmet JB6066 Forever Fizz.

They say:

At first glance I thought it might be fun. I am into interesting gadgets. But this is not a useful gadget. It’s not even an interesting toy. It is a complete waste of money. If you should wind up with one of these, hopefully through no fault of your own, be sure you do all your experimenting in the kitchen sink. No you don’t have to do it in the shower. There is no real pressure. There is no gushing out of your soda. There is no fun.

Ouch.

So then, where do all the unsold units go?

Why to the dark corners of Amazon, where all those bad reviews magically disappear.
Listed for $2.83 $2.50 as the Coke Fizzy Soda Drinking Dispense Gadget Cool Dispenser, the failed product will live on and on and on and…

Sincerely, Beyond The Kitchen Sink

PS: Yikes! Fifteen one star reviews (and two very suspect 5 star reviews) over on QVC where they are branded as the K25916 – Prepology Set of 2 Fizz Saver 2-Liter Soda Dispensers.

I Am A To Go Cup

I Am A To Go Cup from DCI.

I am not sure what I like best about this I Am A To Go Cup design. First off, there is the name. No mistaking what this thing is. Then there is the little liquid container that screws into the cap. Clever. One can keep wet ingredients away from dry. Then, to top it all off, it comes with its own fork – and the kicker is that the cap acts as a utensil rest to boot. Nice design all around. Perfect companion for that paper cup that isn’t — just keep it straight which one is which.

Hot Dog Hut Says Play Ball!

Paragon Hot Dog Hut Steamer and Merchandiser

Baseball season is about to get into full swing. A couple of games have already been played, but by this weekend all of them will be up and running. It is just the start of the baseball season, so there is still time to get your hot dog game on. And that means, of course, time to get a new hot dog hut!

The Paragon Hot Dog Hut Steamer and Merchandiser is a durable, full-size steamer that will last all season long. It can hold 200 regular dogs at a time, or considerably less “Champion Dogs” (aka ‘the $26 hot dog’).

Unfortunately, despite providing more than enough room for a hot dog per game, the appliance only holds 42 buns, so, sadly, an occasional trip to the store will be necessary. Just look at it as an opportunity to pick up more peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Play Ball!

Dimpled Deviled Egg Trays

Set of 2 Deviled Egg Trays w/ Snap On Lids - Holds 36 Eggs

Some foods practically require being served in specialty serving devices: little indented snail plates for escargot (preferably in a spiral snail design), jars for pizza in a jar (eww?) and of course, funny-looking dimpled plates for deviled eggs.

Not only do the Chef Buddy Deviled Egg Trays with Snap On Lids satisfy the requirement for a dimpled surface, they also provide latching lids, so those little devils can be properly served wherever you happen to go.
