Ikea Charm Apple Slicer

When I first heard about this product I thought - whatever the heck for?! There really are a lot of products out there that seem to be made for the sole purpose of clogging up people's houses and making money - they don't really serve a purpose. That's what I thought about the apple slicer - I mean, if I want an apple cut into pieces I can use a regular knife!! That was before I was given one of these as a gift though, and I realised just how much fun they are. Basically the way these work is that you place the blade side over the top of an apple, with the centre ring over the core part of the apple, then press firmly down, and voila! Perfect apple ...
