All these gadgets work to a greater or lesser extent but if wer'e totally honest we could easily do without, unless having a disablilty. Some use a spring loaded injection moulded potato smasher, others use a fork.

Here I just think you'd make a mess trying this stuff... Conclusion: i'll stick to my extremely successful 10 years old lemon squeezer that does exactely what it is meant to do. Hmmm, first of all, I have to say I agree entirely with Sketchbook…

and then to criticize contructively the product here are my thoughts:

That's fantastic ! Your telling me the products you create DON'T add to the 'thousands of wasteful products being produced every year' ? They don't earn a profit for their respective companies ? C'mon. Stop being so naive. I respect that you have your opinion and don't think this of 'worthy' production that's fine. Perhaps you've never juiced a lemon, or know of anyone with arthritis. Where can we see what your office produces ? Sketchbook,
