Today’s concept that puts actual, in-store products to shame is a nut cracker designed by Christopher Kuh. Yes, let’s address the elephant right now: it looks like a dildo. Big deal. It cracks nuts, efficiently and systematically. And also theoretically, being that’s it’s just a render.
You place the nut—walnuts in the render—in between the two tubes and give ’em a purposeful twist. Moments later, you have one cracked nut ready for consumption. Terrific.
How I wish this nut cracker were real. We’d then be able to give them away as part of our highly anticipated birthday party. Valid state ID required to party, no, PARTY~!, with us.
Maybe.
