As it's a single-use-item: No way. (Although I do own a wan tan maker, but that's a different story.)

The photo is clearly photoshopped. I'm guessing it will be a disappointment. Cool concept though.

I might be off-base with this, but it would seem to get clogged with pulp after only one or two sprays. It's not like the whole inside of the lemon/lime is just juice. You'd use it for just special occasions as a conversation piece and then it'll sit in your drawer because slicing and squeezing is faster and more efficient.

I agree that the changes of it working are next to none. It would be nice though.

Ouch! I bet this is not worth even a dollar. For all the very plausible reasons outlined in the article, this definitely would not work. I can imagine (and I do have a lot of imagination) no way that this gadget would be able to extract nearly as much juice as your hand would. Even if it were a really neatly made thing that works as designed, it would waste a lot of lemons. Lemons are already an ingredient that come with a hefty waste margin, so no need to go from bad to worse.

It's like they took the Tropicana straw-in-orange-now-drink-it too far. I would love it if this worked, I just can't imagine in any way that it would.

I would not buy this, but perhaps might have 20+ years ago. Back when I was setting up my kitchen, I bought plenty of questionably useless little kitchen gadgets. They now reside in a box in my storage house. Nonetheless, I think it essential for people to find that out on their own. If you are still in the stage of considering these fun, but (in the end) drawer-cluttering gadgets, enjoy them while you can. Next stop...scale down. But scale down cannot happen without the acquisitions, so they are not a bad thing. Go for it if you think it will make you love spritzing that lemon.

What is the point of someone who has never used the device writing a post asking other people who have never used the device whether they think it would work? Total lazy waste of time. Either try it out and tell us whether it works, or don't bring it up in the first place.

that photo makes me laugh out loud and think that there's a sucker born every minute. i cannot imagine that even if this silly thing worked that it is more efficient than a knife. it's just landfill waiting to happen.

I wouldn't consider "finding a knife, squeezing the citrus, and picking out the seed" a "hassle". But unclogging that thing, yes, that would be a "hassle" for me.

Sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree, Polly.

I was amused by this article, which brought a new, whimsical tool to my attention. I did not think for one minute that the author was really asking us whether it would work, but rather asking a more-or-less rhetorical question and inviting some light-hearted speculation about whether this device would function as intended.

In my opinion, not every article on here needs to be earth-shatteringly significant or informative. A few "fluff" pieces don't bother me, in fact, I expect them every now and then.

No. Both because I don't believe it would be effective and because using my (late) mother's wooden citrus reamer reminds me of her every time I use it. Sometimes a gadget's just a gadget, either useful or clogging up your kitchen drawer, but sometimes it links you to pleasant memories well worth keeping.

No, it just looks or even sound like it would not work very well. All I can see is a continually clogging spray pump.

I saw a video posted of someone "using it" but even that, it seemed a little slight of handy to me. Logically, you can't get infinite pumps of juice form sticking this thing in there. Seems like just another kitchen gadget to dupe unassuming home cooks.

What would make more sense to me is to go ahead and slice a couple of lemons, yes squeeze and remove seeds. Then store the juice in a spray container, like those travel containers you might use for hair spray.

I have to wonder how much the person/company that came up with this item is bringing in. Hmmm, with the right marketing I think I could also come up with a somewhat disfunctional kitchen product that could subsidize my salary. I know, I shouldn't judge before trying...but really.

Thanks for the article.

Friends of mine have a gadget along the same lines that works surprisingly well - it essentially turns a lemon/lime into a "real" version of those little squeezer bottles of juice you can buy. It gets screwed into the citrus fruit and allows you to squeeze out as much juice as you need and then store the fruit in the fridge for later use. I need to ask them where they got it, as I would use one frequently... :)

"Without the hassle of finding a knife, squeezing the citrus, and picking out the seeds." Really? Finding a knife, something you use all the time and probably have more than 1 of, is more of a hassle than finding this stupid little gadget in amongst your "random kitchen stuff" drawer?

What a great idea~ I rather have this so called (silly) gaget, it would come in handy so i would not have to slice open a perfectly good lemon and the the other 1/2 is wasted. Where can i purchase it?
