Useless Product - S'Mores Maker

I received an email from one of those companies that sells a hodge podge of things (and often a lot of those "as seen on TV products" and in the email was this little item...

The S'Mores Maker.

What a waste of plastic this is and what a waste of money this would be.  Plus, it is a lot of extra work.  I cannot imagine why someone would have a need for this product.

Step 1 - place graham crackers on chocolate looking plate
Step 2 - place a little square of chocolate on top
Step 3 - place marshmallow on top
Step 4 - place graham cracker on top of marshmallow
Step 5 - put the little arms on top of the crackers
Step 6 - fill the reservoir up with water
Step 7 - carefully put in microwave and microwave for 30 seconds
Step 8 - carefully remove from microwave (may be hot) and enjoy

Seriously?  I thought this was a joke!  You can easily assembly your s'more, put it on a paper plate, pop in the microwave for about 20 seconds and it is done!

Imagine...people have been making s'mores since 1927 (when it was invented by Girl Scouts and first appeared in "Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts".  I remember making them by the campfire when I was a Girl Scout in the 1970s.  When the microwave started becoming popular, it was simple enough to figure out how to make a S'more in there and we managed to do it without this un-necessary "Smore's Maker".

Funny things is...apparently this gadget has been around since at least 2008 (which is how old this video is).  

So...if you just can't live without it and feel the need to spend $10 of your good hard-earned cash, then maybe this little baby is for you.
