The Verdict
The product that launched a thousand Amazon reviews. A plastic thing that slices bananas, because apparently a knife was too much technology. The reviews are the real product here, and they are worth every penny of this five-dollar masterpiece.
The Good
- ✓Five dollars for a utensil and the greatest review section on Amazon
- ✓Actually slices bananas uniformly, if that matters to you
- ✓Perfect for people who fear knives
- ✓The Amazon reviews alone justify the internet's existence
- ✓Dishwasher safe, unlike your dignity after buying this
The Bad
- ✗Only works on banana-shaped objects, discriminating against all other fruit
- ✗A knife costs less and does more
- ✗You will have to explain this purchase to every houseguest
$5.00 on Amazon. Prices may vary.
