4. Waffle Stick Maker

Could be replaced by: a waffle iron and a knife.

Waffle iron. Knife. If you love waffles, you already have these things in your home. If you don't, then why bother? Essentially, the idea behind stick-shaped waffles is to be able to dunk them into a cup of syrup with your fingers, but if you also happen to own a fork, even this procedure is unnecessary.

3. S'mores Maker

Could be replaced by: a campfire.

Say, here's a terrific idea: let's take one of the most goofy-fun, best-loved, storied snack treats fondly remembered from family campouts and suck all of the romance out of it! Seriously, though, if you had a munchie spot only a s'more could fill, you could do this in a toaster oven or with a blowtorch. Don't reward the childhood joy-killers who built this factory of despair.

2. Salad Shooter

Could be replaced by: a knife. Or a food processor.

This unholy fusion of a weapon and an appliance rears its head reliably every gift-giving season, then slithers back into the dark shadows of the spiderhole from which it crept, never to be seen by human eyes until winter's bitter chill returns once more. God help those who think waving a set of razor sharp whirling blades freely around their kitchen on the end of an electric leash, to aim at whatever hapless creature or salad bowl crosses its path, is a sane idea.
