Leo's Crap! (But sometimes it's something good. Occassionally, very good!)

This piece of crap segment turned out to be a surprise for Leo. Jeff Needles, who left TWiT a few months ago to return to school, had been buying crap for Leo to demo on The Giz Wiz. Because of the Thanksgiving weekend, Jeff was able to come to visit Gizneyland to surprise Leo. Fortunately Leo decided to demonstrate the Pop Chef, a gadget Jeff bought. When Leo mentioned Jeff didn’t leave any instructions I was able to say: “Let’s ask Jeff “ and we cut to Jeff sitting next to me! About the Pop Chef. Here’s what Amazon says about it: “Create professional-looking, mouth-watering fruit arrangements, sandwiches, cheese plates, vegetable platters, cake decorations and more with the amazing Pop Chef. It s as easy as 1-2-3...just select a shape, push down, press the bulb and pop out perfectly shaped treats. Set includes the Pop Chef, 6 shapes (circle, heart, flower, butterfly, sun and star), 20 skewers, and a recipe guide.” And now back to me. Perhaps if you had all the various fruits mentioned in the recipe, you could make something interesting. Leo worked with just an apple and a banana. It sure looked labor intensive, because you even have to worry about the ‘fruit consistency’. All in the all, the kids might have fun with this for a while, but it looks like a cheap plastic toy. It’s under $11 on Amazon with free shipping if you’re Amazon Prime. You can search for cheaper deals on Amazon, but most prices jumped when you added in the shipping and handling. You can also find it for under $11 at Wal-Mart and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
