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. (Banana Bunker)
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"). (FrankFormer)
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. (Amazon)
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. (Fred & Friends)
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. (Kitchen and Company)
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. (Amazon)
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. (Oxo)
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. (Stupid.com)
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. (Fitzsu)
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. (DrinkStuff.com)
