Unitasker Wednesday: The Ham Dogger

All Unitasker Wednesday posts are jokes — we don’t want you to buy these items, we want you to laugh at their ridiculousness. Enjoy!

Yippee! The election is over and your candidate won/lost. That must feel great/awful. Now is the time to celebrate/mourn with a hamburger in the shape of a hot dog from the Ham Dogger:

Are you wondering why a hamburger in the shape of a hot dog is essential to helping you celebrate/mourn? OBVIOUSLY it’s because nothing says victory/defeat quite like a piece of meat in a confusing shape! Sure, you could form a hamburger patty into a hot dog shape with your hands and without any assistance from a plastic device, but where is the fun/grief in that?! There is no fun/grief in that at all. None.

Thanks to reader Savanna for sharing this device that unanimously gets our vote for unitasker.

    Wow!! I have needed something like this SO many times when I had left over hotdog buns with no hotdogs.

    You could use pulled pork too!

    I don’t eat meat but can’t you sort of shape it into a tube with your hands?

    Oh my gosh ~ hilarious!! At least you made me laugh this morning! Who in the world dreams up this stuff?

    Isn’t it wonderful to be an American?! A country where you can mourn the day with a Ham Dogger! Ugh…

    My simple life needs less plastic gadgets, I think I would declutter a ham dogger, hope I don’t get one for Christmas!!! Who would I recycle it to?

    If it’s cheap enough, might be a stocking-stuffer for a child who likes to ‘help’ in the kitchen. My kids were always amused by my ability to hand-form the meat tubes … and this might have added to their joy.

    Isn’t a hamburger in hot-dog shape just an under-spiced sausage/kebab? I don’t get it…

    I’m confused…

    So this is a device for making healthy hotdogs without additives? I wonder if healthy hotdogs are legal in some states? Tee hee

    Seriously, this is such a silly waste of plastic and drawer space

    okay – I do have to point out that one Amazon reviewer mentioned you could use this to make sausages without casings . . . so maybe a duo-tasker?

    I can see the fun in not using one of these things – the fun is in not cleaning and storing this thing!

    I gladly eat various kinds of sausages but I don´t think I could make myself chew on one of those. That thingie in the background looks way too much like what originally was inside the sausage casings.
