Floating Cooler: Never Get Out Of The Pool Again

Big Bobber Floating Beverage Cooler

Summer is in high gear as is the rush to cool down. Last one into the pool may be a rotten egg, but the last one out of the pool most certainly is not. Especially when there is no call to ever leave it.

The Big Bobber Floating Beverage Cooler holds up to a twelve-pack and floats conveniently next to you in the pool. Need a cool down? Just reach over and crack open another beer or soda. Toss the empty to the side, and you’ll never have to leave the pool again. Unless of course they got that purple stuff in the water…

Eggo Storage Won’t Leggo

Helman WSC-054 Eggo Waffle Storage Container

It’s hard to consider an Eggo as something necessary to take extra steps to protect, but then again, when you get your hands on one it’s apparently hard to leggo. While a well-designed marketing catch phrase may have increased Eggo paranoia for all time, usually concern for the frozen waffles doesn’t extend to the freezer. The Helman WSC-054 Eggo Waffle Storage Container would like to change that. While it may not come with a catchy slogan, the storage container for the freezer saves space while keeping the precious waffles safe and sound in an airtight environment. Frost-free Eggos can finally be yours. (Or for whoever gets ‘em first.)

Pizza Scissors Finally Make It Easy To Cut Pizza Slices

Noble Cut ‘n’ Serve Pizza Scissors

It’s hard to top the cutting wheel when it comes to creating pizza slices: with a 360-degree cutting edge, all that it takes is to roll it across the pizza pie. While it may the fastest, easiest and most intuitive way ever to cut pizza, that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved updated redesigned replaced. While “goofy rolling pizza wheels” (seriously, it’s in the product description), only offer cutting ability, the Noble Cut ‘n’ Serve Pizza Scissors also incorporates a spatula. No, that’s not goofy at all!

The Cooler Has The Bottle Opener

HomeWetBar Port-o-Cooler Bottle Opener and Cap Catcher

It’s an age-old question uttered at every ‘que: Who has the bottle opener? First uttered moments after the first beer was bottled, the question has always resulted in a momentary pause in action as everybody looks around for the elusive tool. Eventually, somebody will fess up and exclaim, “Oh, I have it”. Fortunately, many years of bottles being opened have resulted in numerous advances in bottle opener technology. The best openers, of course, are the ones that don’t go anywhere.

The HomeWetBar Port-o-Cooler Bottle Opener and Cap Catcher isn’t likely to wander off with any freshly opened bottles. Easily attaching directly to a cooler (or anything else, really) via double-sided tape or mounting screws, the bolted-down bottle opener isn’t going anywhere the beer isn’t. Every get-together has one, and now that guy will just have to find something else to wander off—just keep him away from the grill.

You Drink Your Milkshake, I’ll Eat Your Steak

Steven Raichlen Telescoping Fork

Sure, a fork with a long handle is useful at the grill for keeping hands away from the heat, but it also has a hidden, much more insidious use. The Steven Raichlen Telescoping Fork extends from 17.5-inches to 28-inches and is certainly designed for grill use, but when put into action, it offers users the distinct ability to grab at whatever is on the nearest plate.

Your steak a bit over done? Extend-o-fork! Got stuck with macaroni salad when you really wanted potato salad? Extend-o-fork! Too many veggies on the plate? Extend-o-fork the other way! Now, everything is within reach. Better get to practicing those diversionary techniques, because at $12.95, the fork pays for itself after only one use.

***Update 10/16/24: Looks like the Raichlen fork got caught picking off the good stuff and got asked to leave the dinner party. Good news, extend-o-fork fans, here is another Extendable Fork and for less initial investment as well!

Win Friends With Salad

Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker

Homer Simpson, the sage of a generation said, “You don’t win friends with salad.” While this sentiment might be all well and true, perhaps it is time to consider the salad dressing as the source of all the missed connections. After all, the stuff you find in a bottle at the supermarket in no way compares to homemade. The problem is, while it may be easy to whip up a batch of oil and vinegar, storage and serving usually requires a little more effort.

The Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker may not actually win you any friends, but you certainly won’t lose any either. Featuring a wide opening on top, and cup, milliliter and ounce measurements marked on the sides, the salad shaker makes it easy to make your own salad dressing. For serving and storing, the watertight accessory has a flip top lid that lets you shake, serve and store all with one container. And of course, you could always use it as a marinade shaker for meats.
