![The Banana Bunker]()
If you routinely get into street fights on the way to work, a Banana Bunker ($6.99) will keep your delicate banana from getting squished, smashed or bruised before lunchtime.![The FrankFormer]()
Serving a hot dog on a bun is too boring for kids, at least according to the people behind the FrankFormer ($7.99). This odd gadget slices frankfurters into little humanoid shapes that can be decorated to resemble fun personalities your kids will instantly recognize (like Santa or a caveman) and some they won't (like Ivan Drago from "Rocky IV").![Eddingtons Egg Cuber]()
If there's one reason we curse chickens every morning around breakfast time, it's the fact that they lay ovalular eggs. Until evolution fixes this problem, the Eddingtons Egg Cuber ($6.00–$8.20 on Amazon) will re-shape your hardboiled eggs into cubes that won't slide off your plate.![Fred & Friends Gin and Titonic Ice Cube Tray]()
Have you ever looked into your cocktail glass and thought, "Man, this would be so much better if my ice were shaped like a tiny ocean liners." No? It doesn't matter, because now you will, and only a Gin and Titonic Ice Cube Tray ($7.99) will make that happen.![Onion Goggles]()
If the act of slicing onions irritates your eyes but you outright refuse to stop slicing onions, pick up a pair of Onion Goggles ($19.99). They feature a foam seal and anti-fog lenses to protect your sensitive peepers from onion fumes.![Alfille Butter Wizard]()
The Allfille Butter Wizard ($49.99 for standard models, $59.99 for stainless steel) is a temperature controlled dish that keeps you butter at the perfect spreadable temperature all day. It's fully portable, and comes with its own power adapter for re-charging.![OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer]()
This 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer ($9.99) features a blade for slicing the avocado in half, a pitting tool that grabs and removes the pit with a simple twist, and a fan blade for cutting the fruit into slices. It's definitely sleek, but we previously pointed out that it doesn't do anything a knife can't do already.![Peter Petrie Egg Separator]()
Separate an egg in the grossest way possible with the Peter Petrie Egg Separator (currently sold out at Stupid.com, but still available on eBay for $22.99). Simply crack an egg into this stoneware vessel and pour out the whites through its nose.![The Homo Sapien]()
The multi-purpose Homo Sapiens ($59.00) is essentially a rock, but it's supposedly perfect for sharpening knives, crushing garlic and grinding herbs. It's even got a little red wristband so you don't drop it on your foot.![Sagaform Pizza Scissors]()
The pizza wheel is a fantastic invention, but it can't serve a slice. That's where a pair of Sagaform Pizza Scissors ($20.90) comes in, complete with stainless steel blades and an integrated spatula.10 Wacky Kitchen Gadgets You'll Probably Never Need
