This is the best unitasker in quite a long while. Simply excellent find.

Oh, I love this. Unitasker, yes, but the desing is beautiful, like some of the other stuff in the page. The Salt Squad? LOVE.

I absolutely love the Unitasker series! I discovered this blog only yesterday, and today I have taken steps to get rid of the waffle maker and the fondue set. I never use them, so why should they take up space in my home?

I think this is a wonderful idea.
I eat apples every day in front of the TV and never want to get up in the middle of the show to throw the core out.
I was very disappointed that this was not available for order.
I think it is both artistic and functional. If we executed more ideas like this the world would be a better place.

There’s this trend among design students of making absolutely useless things. I love it.

If you’re just going to put it back in the dish to sit there, why wouldn’t you use a regular bowl? It doesn’t even seem like a unitasker to me, more like a nontasker!

I have to say that the other products seem just as useless – except for the wine cooler – that’s just brilliant because I hate it when i remove a bottle from a bucket of ice and then have to fight to get the bottle back…but then I wouldn’t need the cooler cause the contents of a wine bottle never last long enough at my house to warrant the use of a cooler!

Cheers!

I have no problem with unitaskers as long as they fill a specific and legitimate need better than a multitasker.

Still, this seems like more of a niche product, and not something that’s made for the mass market. There may be people who are just happier knowing that EVERYTHING has its place and/or live a life in which all of their actions are governed by very strict and specific rules. Not my lifestyle, but I can imagine that there are people out there that would LOVE this.

Chew the seeds of apples, pears, apricots, bitter almonds and sprouts of alfalfa and mung beans!

Because they contain vitamin B17 (leatril) wich helps the body kill cancer.

if it had a little dimple in it for salt or lemon seasoning, I would buy 6! My kids would love it, as they have yet to learn not to put a pile a salt on their napkin with the fan on.

just kidding, but then it would be more multifunctional?

my friend Ron from graduate school used to eat every last bit – seeds, core, twig part, and all! it was entertaining to say the least.

Man… the core pictured isn’t even a core, it’s still half the bloody apple. No wonder half the world is starving when rich westerners take a couple of bites and throw the rest away.
Eat the whole apple!

This is ridiculous. Can’t one just place the core on a plate or paper towel? A lot of people actually learn to just eat the core.

Ok, this is pretty funny. However, I could totally use this for my DH…who can’t seem to make it to the trash with that freakin’ apple core, which I then find later in the day (or week! ew) and I have to pick it up and throw it away. Not that he would deign to use such an item. He won’t even use a plate for his apple and we have plenty of plates

Jennifer? It’s called sarcasm. Unitasker Wednesday is FUNNY. That’s the whole point!
