...an EggWave. The "As Seen On TV" thing that lets you make all kinds of eggs in your microwave. I don't know what I was thinking but it looked really cool. So this morning, I open it up and decide to cook myself a good "as seen on TV" breakfast. I started by making a hard yolk egg, which came out looking like the egg-puck that Mickey DeezNuts puts on Egg McMuffins. So naturally, I toasted an english muffin, threw some cheese on that bitch, and had a fake-me-out, no-hame-havin Egg McEggWave. It was pretty damn good. Then, I tried my hand at scrambled eggs using the "ever so convenient scrambling lid." The scrambling lid is basically a grated thing that helps mix the yolk with the white before you microwave it. Well, it says to cook it for 45 seconds, but 30 seconds in the top pops off and sends egg splattering all over the inside of my microwave. I cleaned the yellow gooey mess up, then I attempted to eat the "scrambled" eggs (The only thing it had in common with real scrambled eggs was the color. The Scrambled EggWave Eggs came out as a bigg yellow ball that I had to separate with a fork.). They were edible, but tasted pretty crappy. Maybe keeping the top on the EggWave is an important part of the process.
Anyways, now they get put on the shelf behind the cereal, and I'm sure I won't use it for another year.
Anyone else see something on TV at 2 in the morning, and in some sleep-deprived stupor say to yourself, "That looks SWEET!," then six to eight weeks later received some lame trash that you'll never use?
