Excellent! Thanks for sharing that; I have, in fact, wondered lately if anything interesting was going on over at the Freebie Table.

That kitchen implement seems familiar, and yet, not. My first reaction was (well, my "first" reaction was "what is that???") that it had something to do with garlic, but then I thought maybe not. I'd be just as likely to believe that it has something to do with an obscure surgical procedure (perhaps as conducted by a veterinarian).

Zooming in on the image, the patent number is just barely discernible: 6474974, which as anyone knows relates to "...a device for ladling an ice cream ball comprising a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first piece, a first connecting section and a first handle. The first handle has a first slot. The first connecting section is located between the first piece and the first handle. The second portion has a second piece, a second connecting section and a second handle. The second handle has a second slot. The second connecting section is located between the second piece and the second handle. The second connecting section is connected to the first connecting section by a pin. After the first connecting section connects to the second connecting section, the first piece connects to the second piece, and the first piece and the second piece are formed a cup to take an ice cream ball. A spring has two extending ends and respectively placed in the first slot and the second slot. When the first handle and the second handle are forced inwardly, the cup is separated as the first piece and the second piece for separating the ice cream ball..."

A trip back to the Freebee Table and a closer inspection reveals a "GoodCook" logo and a quick google provides the product name: it's a Smart Scoop Ice Cream Scoop.

Man, am I embarrassed! I didn't even think to look for a patent number! And there it was!!!! Time to retire to my corner and ponder the peeling paint . . . .

A patent number, for crying out loud!
