Shot Carver: Get Fruity!

It is pretty obvious by now that my night was full of fun that involved some amount of alcohol, isn’t it? Don’t worry – we all drank moderately and were responsible adults. At the end of the night, I had tons of fun. That night made me go look for cool drinking gadgets, though, and here is another cool find: the shot carver.

I found the shot carver at Cool Stuff Express, and while it does not really involve electronics of any kind, I think that it would at least serve as a conversation piece when you entertain at home. So what does it do?

Think apple corer. In truth, it is not that much different from your conventional apple corer. What the shot carver does is create a hole in a fruit (apple, pear, name it!) which can then serve as your shot glass! Pretty nifty, huh?

Imagine this. You have 10 or more people coming over. You have to prepare all sorts of glasses and drinking stuff for the night. You have to clean up the house, decorate a little bit, and make sure that nothing stinks. At the end of the night, you’d have to do all the cleaning up yourself! With the shot carver, you do not have to waste time washing and cleaning your shot glasses. Just get dozens of fruit, insert the gadget, twist, pull it out, and voila, you have a disposable shot glass! Not only do you have something functional, you can entertain in style as well.

The best part - it’s only $11.99!

I love the smell of freshly cut grass. It brings back wonderful childhood memories; you know, back when the biggest thing on your mind was what your mum was going to make for supper? Or maybe the cute boy (or girl, for that matter) who lives down the street?

As an adult however, I know that mowing the lawn could be hell. It gets even worse if you have a big lawn OR if your property is located on the hillside. While you can always go for the “naturalistic” look wherein you just let nature go its own way, it does not always look appealing.

How about if you get yourself one of these handy robots? Dubbed the Hybrid GOAT ROBOT series, these babies can mow your lawn on its own! Well, not really, you still have to control it by radio, but the idea is that you can sit on a nice lounge chair, under the shade of a huge umbrella, and sip ice tea (or a mojito if you wish!).

Manufactured by Evatech, the Hybrid GOAT ROBOT lawn mowers can be controlled up to half a mile away (that’s about 0.8 kilometers). Even better, it can work its way up and down slopes as much as 70 degrees! This spells good news to those with hilly property.

The downside? They can bite a huge chunk of your money. The basic version costs $5,299 (3,777GBP) while the hunky one costs $11,999 (8,554GBP). Whew! Think NOT cutting the grass yourself is worth this much?
