Tater Mitts

Has anyone seen the Tater Mitts commercial? I'm fascinated.

Tater Mitts, greatest invention ever or incredibly dangerous?

How do they estimate this stuff as a $40 value? Do Tater Mitts have a previous inherent value?

don't know but on the tv commercial they show a woman using the tater mitts on a carrot. it's very frightening.

My favorite thing about the Magic Bullet is how everything is done in 3 seconds or whatever but it takes them about 10 seconds to count to 3.

1.......
2.......
3..... seconds! And there's your salsa!

Plus the thing's so small that everything is in miniscule portions. Mmmm, alfredo sauce for 1/8 cup of spaghetti? Sign me up!

Utilized properly, the tater mitt can do the job of 3 magic bullets in half the time.

I was truly amazed by the tater mitts. Thanks for posting this. And I like the name "tater mitts" - there aren't many better named products in this world.

I called them "potato gloves" by mistake and was immediately corrected as to the proper name.

WTF? Because peeling potatoes was a physically demanding/time consuming exercise that was diverting mankind from the real problems of global warming and starvation?

Edit: This is my favorite part of the ad, "Tater Mitts remove only the thinnest layer of skin, so there is more potato for you and your family to enjoy!". That extra milimeter of potato is really going to satisfy my family.

Well, not like in the Navy no. But when cooking for my family, I don't find it to be a physically demanding ordeal. Maybe I'm just in peak physical condition though. Peeling oranges don't seem to exhaust me either.

I once lost a thumb in a potato peeling accident. Believe me, it was no laughing matter. Thank God we humans have the power to regenerate. But I'd rather have the tater mitt then have to wait 4 months for my thumb to grow back like last time.

If only someone would invent the "Make My Wife Have Sex With Me Socks."

Yeah, I hate peeling potatoes. But I don't think I'll use these gloves... unless they really do truly work. Hmm I want to try them out.

I like the characters in that Magic Bullet commercial. The woman with the housecoat and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. LOL.

I love the thought that this was somehow an either/or equation. Develop a better potato peeler or save mankind?

Imagine what the person that invented sliced bread could have done if he had chosen another path.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
