Adding to the list of most useless inventions ever made, we have the plastic banana slicer. As if people couldn’t simply peel a banana and just finish it off bite by bite, someone had to invent a banana-shaped slicer that could help you slice a whole banana into centimetre wide slices in one go.
Hardly the most life-changing invention of the history of mankind, it got people launching into a hilarious tirade of reviews on Amazon.
Low and behold, the Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer. While one would not be surprised at weapon being named like that, I wonder what the Hutzler 570 did. Or maybe the Hutzler 1. Reading the name brings a cringe to my face as I imagine the damage it might do.
One user was amazed at how fast he could now slice bananas, from 2 bananas per hour to more than a thousand, while another called it “nature’s Rubik Cube”, because it solved one of the world’s greatest mysteries of how to slice a banana; even his girlfriend, who was familiar with big, white bananas (ooh, a bit of ego-boosting here), couldn’t figure out how to slice a banana properly because it rolled all over the place.
Others were thankful for the amazing convenience it brought to them; one user said it changed his life because he no longer had to eat a banana with a straw, while another user said he no longer had to blow a banana up with a gun. Getting angsty now, aren’t we?
The product itself might be extremely pointless, but it probably got the most creative and chuckle-inducing reviews ever in the history of Amazon. Read all the reviews here.
