OH!!!! I didn't notice it was attached to the wheel like that. I assumed it was connected to some hinge behind the steering wheel.
Hahhahaah holy shit, if it's really connected that way, that's really stupid.

Not that I know of Guess I'd be better off just buyin a new can opener, mine doesn't cut around the inside like most can openers, it cuts around the perimeter so it's easier to have tuna squirt into the sink when I strain it since it doesn't let me push down, I have to take the whole top off then strain.

Which is a clever way at it.
But my personal favourite, form over function, is the iphone 7. There's an "upgrade" for previous iphones so it looks like exactly the same thing!

This could be useful to people who get fast food and eat in the parking lot. But driving? That's retarded.

Also it needs the wheel to be half-way turned to fit, so if you're thinking about driving, plan your trip to be in circles

Yes folks, it's an electronic machine and its sole purpose is to cool down your food that is too hot for immediate consumption.
This is such a useless and garbage product, why would anybody bother even designing or engineering such a thing... I mean first off, food is much better piping hot than it is cooled down.
And I've never bit into a piece of steak or pasta and thought, "This is way too hot." The only time I could even see this being useful is for soups and fried foods, but even then, I would prefer hot over cool. And seriously, waiting for something to cool down doesn't take that long. Why is this product even necessary?
This is their promo video and link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/kulerpro-food-cooking--2#/
Feel free to add to the thread with other useless inventions.
I had a shrimp peeler that mangled the shrimp. Taking the shell off by hand and using a paring knife to de-vein them worked far better and was actually still faster than using the tool, and left my shrimp looking great. Any specialized tool that does a worse job than your fingers and a $5 victorinox paring knife is waste of $ POS.

I've been advised by many to not do this, because tuna are very mature fish, thus they accumulate unhealthy amounts of metals over their life time, mercury in particular

There are so many useless cooking inventions out there, it's not even funny. Peeling shrimp takes less than a second if you know what you're doing.
I mean I could understand the need for such an item if it was able to automatically peel multiple shrimp at a time, but if you're manually having to peel each shrimp individually, it basically amounts to the exact same thing as peeling a shrimp by hand.
Here's another dumb one, this cylindrical corn on the cob cutter.
I mean, first off, corn comes in many different sizes, and you'd have to use the perfect sized corn for it to work in a cylinder like that. Second, people eat corn on the cob like what, maybe 3 times a year?
Maybe I could see buying one of these if you're running a restaurant or food business that uses a lot of corn. But otherwise I'll just stick to slicing corn with a knife, thanks.

Obviously I'm referring to hot or cooked foods, I mean why would you use a cooling device for a salad or sushi?

I actually enjoy my foods piping hot, Korea has a dish called sun tofu where the soup comes out still boiling in a clay pot and you eat it while it's boiling.
Fried foods taste the best straight out the fryer, while they are still too hot to handle with your fingers. I hate it when I get lukewarm fries from a fast food place, ready-made piping hot ones are the best.

I gotta say, im with Pris on this one. I one caught a a fish near a thermal, and since we always love to do sushi on the spot when were fishing (for freshness) that device would have been nice. instead we had to wait for the tube worm meat to cool down. ps: and yes, even a hot salad, in my opinion should be eaten cool

Yup, I've discovered that too. A lot of shit I see on those types of websites are products that were already made in the 80's or 90's.
Just proves that all you need is good marketing to sell something.
I'm watching an episode of Shark Tank right now, these 2 douchebags on this show made $250K a year by selling written messages on potatoes, and the kicker is they are selling each potato for $14.99 WTF!!!!
And it's not even a professionally printed message on the potato, your message is fucking written with a Sharpie. On a potato that probably was purchased for less than 99 cents.
The part that made me want to cry the most was when they actually landed a deal with a shark.
