It is a truly gorgeous day out today. I mean, it looks like spring is finally here and ready to take a load off and stay awhile. So I don’t know about you, but when I think warm weather, only one thing comes to mind: ice cream. I love ice cream. I could pretty much eat it anytime. I’m one of those people that you see at the ice cream stand in the middle of winter, eating a soft serve twist cone within the confines of their vehicle, with the heat on full blast. Yeah I know it’s a little crazy, but I don’t care. My point is, ice cream tastes even better when it’s “in season” and you can eat it outside at a picnic table. Sure, it’s a little messy, but that’s part of the fun. Now if only there was a way to improve on the perfection that is ice cream…
The Motorized Ice Cream Cone (Perpetual Kid, $9.99) is the perfect companion to a traditional ice cream scoop. This faux cone holds your ice cream scoop in such a way that it resists drippage. How, you ask? Well, the plastic cone cradles your flavor of choice in a removable dish, which is motorized to spin at the push of a button on the cone. The persistent rotation is the key to keeping the ice cream from dripping down your hand. This means that you can savor this tasty treat, without feeling rushed by the frozen sensation of melted ice cream running down your fingertips. All you need is two AA batteries and a gallon of your favorite flavor to enjoy your ice cream the way it was intended: frozen and delicious.
So really, I think you all should just skip on out of work and go get a cone or something. I mean, it’s super nice out so I think that’s a legitimate excuse for leaving early. If that doesn’t work because your boss is a big jerk or something like that, just pretend to ingest something poisonous, like super glue or copier toner. Then they’ll just think you’re an idiot and probably let you off work early so you can go to the hospital. Always works for me.
3 out of 5 stars.
