Kitchen Gadgets

Kitchen Scale iPod Dock

This kitchen scale also doubles as an iPod dock. Now you can listen to the stylin’ beats of your favorite band while you weigh your meat and veggies!

Not necessarily a bad idea unless you’ve got it too close to the stove and something splashes on your iPod.  I would definitely suggest keeping it away from the cooking/mixing area.

Panasonic Dishwashing Robot

I hate doing dishes, even if it means just putting them in the dishwasher.  Here’s something from Japan (domo arigato, boys) that allows me to sit back and do nothing while a robot gets all the credit!

According to Panasonic, this robot has “sensitive arms with pressure and contact sensors.”  So what does it do?  It picks the dishes out of the sink.  It rinses them.  And LOADS THE DISHWASHER.

For the amount of money that you’d probably have to pay to get one of these, I would expect it to tap dance across the floor while washing dishes by hand.

RSVP International Onion Goggles

We teared up just thinking about these goggles.  But, in a good way.  These goggles are touted as keeping you “tear-free from onion vapors and tear-free from smoke when grilling.” 

The best part?  These goggles are “now available in new solid colors to fit your more serious side.”  Do they look like something you would wear if you were serious?

Electronic Sand Timer

Want a timer that can be set for up to 99 minutes, but you just don’t want to give up your old-fashioned sand timer? 

Yep, that’s here too.

Well, we can tell you one thing: it IS better than turning a one-minute sand timer over 99 times.

On The Edge Marketing Gas Powered Party Blender

This image described by iPod, iPod Touch, gadgets, food, drinks, Star Wars, bugs, kitchen, plates, darth Vader, fire, thanksgiving, dinner, household, turkey, costume, guests, wine, gifts, cookies, ice cream, dessert, liar, lie detector, subtle butt, farting, ants, cockroaches, beer, blender, toaster, hot dogs, pyromania, cookbook, timer, Gas+Powered+Party+Blender+(2+Stroke+Engine)

So, what do you get if you combine a go-cart engine with a blender?  You get this monstrosity: a gas-powered blender.  It’ll make up to 10 cups of whatever you’re drinking.

The description says it is “not suitable for indoor use.”


The Pyromaniac’s Cookbook

From a review on Amazon.com, “There is nothing like setting a dish on fire to impress your friends.”

Bravo. What else can I add?


The Pop-Up Hot Dog Cooker

Well, we here at iSmashPhone.com understand that there are those who may be in our audience who can’t afford a turkey for Thanksgiving.  We wanted to offer you an alternative.

With 100% turkey franks, here is a simple way to fix your Thanksgiving dinner.  Or not. 

The sad part: the website states “We regret that this item is no longer available.”  Our question: did they sell out? 

Or did someone finally realize that this was a stupid idea?

Darth Vader Toaster

For you Star Wars fans (Episodes IV – VI, thank you), you can proclaim the glories of the Empire by announcing to your friends and family at Thanksgiving that Darth Vader appeared to you!  Think of the fortune you can make on eBay!

Just don’t tell them about the toaster.

Hog Wild Atomic Food Containers

Thanksgiving leftovers are probably one of the best things about Thanksgiving.  The problem is, when you go back to work, your co-workers might steal your lunch!

With these Atomic Food Containers, you never have to worry about that again! (Not for use in nuclear power plants or chemistry laboratories.)

Remote Control Beer Pager

How many times have you set your drink down and then lost it in all the hustle and bustle because you don’t remember where you put it?  Here’s your solution.

The only problem is, if more than one person uses it, it might get a little confusing. 


Ant-Covered Dishes

These coffee cups and saucers are white porcelain with tiny hand-painted ants on them, appearing as though they are trying to get in your drink.  There’s even one on the inside of your cup!

Suddenly, your kitchen has been infested with ants!

Definitely be prepared for some screeching and, if hot coffee is involved, we would suggest staying back from the person in case of spillage.


The Remote-Controlled Flying Cockroach

There is NOTHING I hate worse than bugs except for FLYING bugs.  Want to play a little joke on your family or friends?  With this little remote controlled cockroach, you can have them all standing on the furniture and squealing in no time! 

Food Face Plate

Do the kids get bored at Thanksgiving dinner while the adults go on and on about something adult-like?  Maybe it’s you that gets bored.

Food Face plates will not only keep boredom at bay, but give you new excuses to playfully arrange your food all the while pretending to listed to your great-uncle George as he goes on about his gout problem at the diner table.


Subtle Butt: Disposable Gas Neutralizers

Definitely, for after dinner, while watching the football games.  Uncle Louie may ask you to “pull his finger” but you’ll be safe if you get him some of these!

And they were kind enough to provide a video explaining Subtle Butt and how it works. 

Thank you.  I’m off to buy some now.


Don’t Break the Bottle

As a host or hostess of a party, be it Thankgiving or not, I enjoy it when my guests arrive and give me a bottle of wine to share at the table.

What I don’t need is the puzzle that this picture shows said bottle of wine being attached to.  And unfortunately, you’ll have to go to the website in order to see the video demonstration.

Shocking Liar – Lie-Detector

“How was the turkey?”

“Great!”

Have you ever wondered if those words were REALLY the truth?  Well, now you can find out.

Strap your family member to this little device and start questioning them.  When they lie, and, if they’re family, oh, eventually, they will, the machine will give them an electric shock.

Ok, what?!

Turkey Adult Costume

We were going to simply talk about the hat.  The hat that looks like a fully prepared and baked turkey, drumsticks and all.  And then we found this:

Ever wonder what to wear to your Thanksgiving dinner?  Let us here at iSmashPhone.com give you an idea: NOT THIS.

For the sadist in you or your friends.  How many of you would eat a cookie after someone else had already taken a bite out of it?

Well, these cookie cutters bake cookies that already come with bite marks in them.  So you can watch your guests fumble around confusedly asking questions as to whose cookie is whose while you sit back and snicker.

A great idea for Halloween – not so much for Thanksgiving.

Musical Cake Slicer

No, not a slicer for a musical cake, but a musical slicer to cut your cake with!  Songs included “Happy Birthday,” “Jingle Bells,” the “Wedding March” or “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.”

And if you don’t have any friends to sing with you for your birthday or whatever occasion, it will help you feel less lonely by providing you with these four tunes while you cut your own cake.

One question: why is this on a “Presents for Men” website?

Motorized Ice Cream Holder

Do you ever find your arms too tired and worn out to do anything else?  BUT you still can’t help but want that scoop of ice cream that Aunt Wanda is offering you?

The ultimate in pure laziness, the Motorized Ice Cream Holder turns the ice cream for you.  Yes, it ROTATES the ice cream scoop on the plastic cone.  Thank you, we have reached the epitomy of laziness.
