Last weekend, I stopped by a Peet's Coffee and saw some colorful plastic balls in a package next to the fancy tea cans. Study closely, I realized that they are so called Ice Balls that they can chill drinks without diluting the liquid.
Quite clever, yet necessary?
The same Peet's carried something called Honey Dippers as well. Instead of using spoon, one can use this wooden equipment to dip into honey jar, and carry the honey in the grooves.
The list of these seemingly clever and useful but utterly unnecessary items is long and is sickening - banana hangers, apple slicers, bagel slicing holders, etc. How much precious resources do we, as steward of the earth, need to plunder in order to gain an ounce of convenience?
Most appalling is the commercial I encountered online. Watch it and judge for yourself. How sick our society has become and where is the outrage?
