This is just something that I found retarded and figured a thread could be made about this, because theres a LOT of stupid "inventions" like for example a hot dog slicer

I saw the squatty potty though and this triggered me for some reason.



They disabled comments because I'm sure people were BTFO the product.

I mean at least I could see a use-case for the hot dog slicer. If you want to feed one to a child it's a lot quicker to cut it that way and if you regularly feed your kids hot dogs then that could save you a lot of actual time for only 5 easy payments of 9.99 or whatever it would sell for on TV.

It's not really usable as a hot dog if you slice it into so many chunks. Though it'd be great for the traditional German delicacy of Currywurst.

I bought that glue that hardens under UV light and it sucked ass. It hardened all right, but the light couldn't hit the glue hidden between stuff so it just fell apart.

Flex tape looks awesome though. There's Flex Glue now that works underwater.

It saves you, maybe, seconds over a knife, makes the pieces annoyingly small and is much, much harder to clean than a knife, which you already have.

How about a salsa bowl with a lip that curves inward so when you scoop the chip through it and out you get all the veggies on top of the chip instead of going over the rim and onto the table?

Has this been done? If not, patent pending! Donate to my patreon!

Slicing a hot dog into pieces that big takes longer than a couple of seconds and also is exactly what you do to keep a child from choking so I'm going to have to agree to disagree.

Cleaning thing is on point though.

No, it doesn't. Get one, take a knife, stop the time. It would take about twenty seconds.

It's probably not faster, but more convenient for the lazy Murrican.
