Stange coincidence . . . on of my friends bought one of these the other day.

I can totally see handing one of them to a bunch of hyper kids and saying “Damnit, take this thing outside and don’t bring it back until it’s Häagen Dazs.”

The show “Ham on the street” on the Food Network recently compared on of those to a trashbag filled with ice. The device lost, but I guess it makes decent ice cream.
