Sometimes a little lime or lemon juice is the perfect way to garnish a salad, accent a piece of fish or flavour a glass of ice water. Go to cut it, though, and you either blast citric acid in your eye or sprinkle seeds in your food. With Quirky’s Stem, getting a spritz is as easy as stabbing a spike into the fruit’s ripe flesh.
Selling your textbooks at the end of a semester to recoup some of their outrageous price tags could get even easier with Quirky’s Fader highlighter. After five months the yellow streaks will disappear completely, netting you top dollar for your pristine books.
The ‘until it’s covered’ approach to spreadable toppings only works until diets or recipes call for specific measurements. At that point you either reach for multiple utensils, or the transforming Scoop spoon which handles all of the above with gusto.
If you prefer a fresh blast of lemon or lime juice on a salad instead of a heavy dressing, just jam Quirky’s new Stem accessory into a citrus fruit of your choice, instantly turning it into a spray bottle.
I much prefer the look of Quirky’s Trek Support backpack to Voltaic’s solar-powered backpack from years ago, and if enough people agree with me and pre-order it (for $US130), they’ll even put it into production.
