Yes, I get the concept. I was intrigues, that's why I bought it. But really, it makes a mess and how many of us have a flat surface that isn't right on the same damn work space where you are probably brewing your soon to be Awesome cup of joe. Eh. I think the concept is cool. If you are stealthier, monitor your soaking time, and aren't a clumsy arse like me, then this could be for you. Even at a few bucks, it wasn't for me. Not a thing I'd get again for me or others.

This stuff is amazing. I don't know why my dog produces so much plaque, but she does. I've tried so many products that didn't work, wasting hundreds of dollars. I didn't expect a lot from this product but boy oh boy did it deliver! Within days I was picking chunks off her teeth! Once a day you put this stuff directly on the teeth with plaque -- no brushing required! While she doesn't enjoy it, she hates it a lot less than brushing. I also bought a scraper figuring it wouldn't hurt to scuff up the plaque a little to give this a fighting chance. Both together have taken her teeth from the land that dentistry forgot to Hollywood pearly whites. NOT kidding -- night and day results!

I would not recommend this nutcracker for anyone looking to buy one that cracks nuts really well, but what it does do is make people crack up when they see it. I bought this for my dad as a Christmas present, and it was a hit. Everyone loved it and asked where I ordered this from. If you are looking for a fun, silly gift, I would recommend you buy this. Maybe one day it will be considered a collector's item!
