Ice cream for the lazy

motorized ice cream cone Wow.

You have to be pretty damned lazy if you're going to pay $10 for a motorized ice cream cone that twirls the scoop for you so you don't have to move your wrist or your tongue.

But let's just focus on the positives of this ridiculous gadget. Maybe you have carpal tunnel syndrome and you can't twist and bend you wrist. You probably won't drip melted ice cream all over the front of your shirt. Since the cone isn't edible, you'll be saving yourself some calories, though I'm quite certain that an ice cream cone has no more than say, 50 calories. Then again, a cone has carbs, so there goes the argument for health (aren't we eating ice cream here, by the way?) If nothing else, the motorized cones come in different colors, so you can match your outfit.

But still, it's $10.

Besides, this will work for the oh-so-critical 15-25 male demographic because it means *less* tongue action. And that won't fly with the guys who watch Sandra Lee for her, shall we say, sweaterscapes. *evilGrin*
