Octodog

This has to be the silliest kitchen tool even made.

Insert a hot dog, and use the eyes to hold the hot dog in place. Slide the holder down, sliceing your hot dog into 8 perfect tentacles. Remove the frankfurter and you have an edible octopus, eyes and all!

This is a very high quality tool. The bright colors and fun results make this a great gag gift for the kids.

And every time I swear I am going to buy one...then forget about it.

They look more like pelegic octos more than the normal octos you get on the continental shelf...

they're so cute!!! I want an octo hot dog, I'll have to buy one too! (Which means I'll never get around to it!)

 

[chrono_war01]

I want one too! (Alas, I think I'll never get one now that I want one...)
