(115,810 posts)at the inventiveness of the human mind - the ability to create something that you never thought there was any reason for its existence. And yet... there it is. In fact, there are several versions of the thing.
And this is weird, too: If you scroll down a bit, you'll see, under the heading "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed," four other banana slicers, one strawberry slicer, and a Briggs & Stratton wood chipper. So while shopping for banana slicers, it occurs to someone that they'd better dispose of that body in the shed....?

This review is from: Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer (Kitchen)
When I got this product, I was thrilled by it's ease of use, elegant design, and ergonomic grip. However, when I used it for the first time, it cracked the rear axle in my 1986 Ford Tempo! Now, I'm gonna have to hitch a ride to my job interview in the morning!!! Do you know how hard it is to hitch a ride in a chicken outfit?!
I suggest this product to people without jobs, spare axles, and a lack of ambition to get anywhere in life, or down the street.

Review by Wisconsin Willifrieda:
*****
Like any normal Cheesehead, I love my brats. But until now, Ive been struggling to discover a way to keep them impaled on my sword, bite after bite, long enough to totally finish one. Every time I eat one halfway through, the remaining part falls off the sword and tumbles to the floor, rolling in cat and dog hair until its completely dirty. Then, one of the animals pounces on it, devours it, and later hacks up a disgusting hairball on my bed. The bed is now covered in hairballs, and my grossed-out boyfriend is sleeping on the couch. Not only am I hungry, but Im getting sick and tired of the same nightly routine.
Then I discovered the Hutzler 751! I realize that it was developed for bananas, but when I first saw one, I immediately realized its possibilities. With a little squeeze here and a firm poke there, I can wield the Hutzler 751 in such a way that a delicious bratwurst is sliced into perfectly even segments that balance perfectly on the sword tip. This enables me to eat a slice in one chomp, though I have to be extremely careful the point doesnt catch in my dentures and dislodge them, resulting in an animal pouncing on them. Now I can enjoy an entire brat no more waste! However Ive had to resort to dead pigeons to feed the dogs and cats. This still results in hacked-up featherballs, but I can easily brush them off the bed onto the floor with the side of the sword. My only complaint, if you can call it one, is that I would like the Hutzlers to design a slicer that would work on a whole bloodwurst, which is a couple feet long. If you think eating an impaled brat on a sword is tricky, you should try balancing a two-foot-long pig intestine filled with cooked blood and barley groats on your sword and trying to eat it without the other end smacking off your cheese hat. Please, Hutzlers, have pity on me!
