The Snap Hang is somethign I would seriously consider.
The olive dish is brilliant!
This thing is a pretty great solution to the "which sponge is for the dishes and which for the counter?" dilemma.

I am so not ready for that parmesan pencil.
Well, the Silo might have been worth considering if it had more measuring options. Only 1 cup and 1/2 cup? Not for me.
I like the silo. It would be good for things like oatmeal - or even cold cereal if you're one of those people that measures it before putting it in the bowl.
That parmesan cheese pencil is just weird. Not surprised it's no longer available.
The cheese pencils cracked me up! Don't know how I would feel about actually using them, but the idea is hilarious. Some of the other stuff is so good though! The silo and the double dish especially.

I might craft myself a double dish for an upcoming party. I rarely need one but I like the idea -- would work to stash used toothpicks from appetizers, too, if the central dish were suitable for them... I could see foil caterer's pans as the exterior dish...
I like the silo, too, if it would work for my granola. I'm trying to lose a few pounds, and I suspect my portion control at breakfast leaves something to be desired! Serving myself an actual appropriate "serving" would be great, but I'm unlikely to get out a measuring cup.
I had the same question.. For that matter,. why post something that is still in prototype stage that we may never even see?
Take a hint from Seth Godin. Better to write two lines of relevant content than ten lines of fluff.
I don't mind seeing prototype or interesting has-been designs. It's interesting to see different approaches, and maybe reaction in the blog to prototypes will help get a new product produced.
LOve the concept of the double dish & the design is appealing but would not purchase it. Just the thought that an olive pit, recently from someone's mouth, so near food about to be consumed is revolting.
