They’ve invented a foldable potato masher and it’s either genius or the worst idea ever

There’s a whole bunch of kitchen gadgets we cast envious glances at but we don’t buy, either because they’re too expensive or because we’d use them once then stick them in the back of the cupboard never to see the light of day again (ice cream maker: exhibit A, B and C).

But this particular kitchen gadget, well, not only is it (presumably) easy on the wallet, but it’s also a contender for the most desirable thing ever invented by humanity.

It’s … this.

A foldable masher!

Except the number of people excited by this discovery was just about entirely in proportion to those dismissing it as an absolute non-starter.

We’ve read all the responses – all of them, we say! – and these people surely said it best.
