What is it?

Take a gander at this offering from our friends at Kwik-Kut Manufacturing (makers of the Kwik-Kut chopping tool http://lettuceknife.blogspot.com/2008/11/horror-movie-prop-or-kitchen-gadget.html ).


















What do you think it is? At first glance you might think it looks like this type of corkscrew that's encased in a protective base:

















But no, it's not that.



Perhaps your second guess would be a bottle stopper, also commonly used for wine bottles. (What's up with the wine references? I'm not really a big wine enthusiast.)

















No, not a stopper either.


Now you're thinking it's actually just a part of some gizmo and would make total sense if you could see the whole thing.












No, this is all there is to it.



Here's a hint: it's called a Koffee Kooler.



I wish I was making this up but our friends at Kwik-Kut do love their letter K as much as they seems to like useless stuff.



Yes, the Koffee Kooler is used to cool coffee. Here's the website's full item description:



Koffee Kooler is a thick aluminium shaft with a wooden handle.

Uses: Cools hot beverages or liquids by absorbing heat into it's solid aluminum core.



Like a bunch of chumps, you've been relying on blowing on your coffee to cool it down.















Or perhaps you throw in an ice cube.














Maybe, like me, you add a splash of milk.

















Or, for the truly innovative, maybe you just wait a minute or two for the inevitable to happen.




Well, thanks to Koffee Kooler, you can cool your coffee with class, er...klass. Order enough for your next dinner party. Imagine the delight your guests will feel at being served a steaming cup of coffee - sorry, koffee - with its own kooler sticking out of it.



Bring it along to restaurants. Those damn restaurants always serve their koffee so freaking hot! Someone ought to sue!



No word on how the Koffee Kooler interacts with tea. One imagines a daintier version is forthcoming for tea just as soon as they can figure out how to work the letter K into the name.
