Got one. The gadget does work. Turns a boiled egg, after processing, into an evenly cream-yellow ovoid what's-that. Whiz it up first, then boil egg.

And it would make it less obvious you were using the lazy-woman technique to make omelets, scrambling the eggs inside the pan -- since you're not.

To things I wish weren't invented:

Socialism, Marxist or other brand.

Spellcheckers. They are inadequate. I need the entire OED wordlist and downloaded updates, and one that doesn't favor hyphenated constructions over compound words, but replaces the former with the latter. So I generally turn off both these and autocorrect. Even if damnyouautocorrect is a funny site.
