OT: Useless products

No! The salad spinner is great! Gets all the water out in a flash and keeps me from using a roll of paper towel to dry a headful of lettuce leaves.

Use an old pillow case and step outside and spin around your head - get your exercise and you salad dried at the same time!

Late to the salad scene, But I remember my food service days of always covering the lettuce with a damp towel, after we knocked the core out. Now I love a Caesar Salad. Makes me wish I paid more attention when Mom was in the kitchen....

Any brand of sneakers that costs more than $50

Any brand of sneakers that costs more than $50

I have to disagree with this. I have very high arches and one bad ankle that causes my foot to pronate. The only sneaker I can wear with comfort for any length of time with prolonged walking is a New Balance shoe that costs well over $100. If I don't have good support, my knees, hips and back are affected.

I agree that for anyone who does not have foot or leg problems your standard sneaker will be fine. But if you do have such problems, a high quality sneaker is worth every penny.

Kosher salt. (Whats about salt to not be kosher?) Sea salt, too; sodium chloride with impurities not removed.

Banana slicer!

When you have a down day and need some good laughs, the customer reviews on Amazon.com are laugh out loud funny.

Foot activated liftgate release. Anything that requires my shin to come into an uncomfortably close proximity with unyielding metal needs to be seriously re-thought.

I just read a good article about the guy who invented the banana slicer. It's says he could truly be the Most Interesting Man in the World.

Ron White does it well, but that is a VERY old joke.
