Product Review
If you bought a single ice blended coffee drink every morning for a year at one of the big coffee chains, at more than $3 for even the small sizes, you're talking more than $1,000. That's more than most people are paying each year for cable or internet access!
Several companies are trying to cash in on the phenomenon while easing the cost of your habit with home frappe machines--but how do you know if any of them are good? Well, this is one of those times where writing for a

Recycling breaks down used materials so they're ready for reuse.
Upcycling takes recycling to a whole new level and creates
something new from recycled materials. These designers salvaged old
records, broken glass and even unused lightening insulators, and
used them to create unique kitchen accessories.
Thanks to upcycling, you can accessorize your kitchen with
something different. (
You won't find these items mass produced
at a department store.) And do something good for the
environment to boot. Best of all, every product costs under $50--so
you can buy recycled kitchen accessories cheap.

I can see purchasing some of the other random stuff I've blogged but this? No. No! There is just no reason in the world unless you are so rich that you're paying your friends to use this in front of you while you laugh at their misfortune.
The
Banana Opener, from the German website
Design3000, is just that: a friggin'
banana opener!
