What the hell is that?

Our range is constantly growing. With some products, even the third time you look at them, you don't know exactly what you're looking at. Today: a giant penne.
As I wrote a month ago, we don't sell oversized pasta individually. What's the point of all this? I don't think this pasta acts as a pot holder either. It doesn't do that either. Perhaps the thing is used to measure out the correct amount of spaghetti? Nope, because that was already the case in the penultimate issue of this format. A well-camouflaged telescope perhaps? No. Then I can only think of using it as a replacement blackroll. But unfortunately, that's not what this item is for.
Pasta belongs in the kitchen, that's for sure. But it doesn't belong in, next to or under the pan. This product works independently because it is a garlic peeler. It's very simple: you put the garlic cloves into the peeler and take them out again seconds later, peeled. How does it work? With love, a little effort and a large portion of Italianità. Not only Alessi, but also Monkey Business regularly makes it into the "What the hell is that?" series - congratulations!

From climbing ropes to red wine and impact drills, there's almost everything. With this motto in mind, we browse our range for unusual products that make you wonder: what the hell is that?

When I'm not stuffing my face with sweets, you'll catch me running around in the gym hall. I’m a passionate floorball player and coach. On rainy days, I tinker with my homebuilt PCs, robots or other gadgets. Music is always my trusted companion. I also enjoy tackling hilly terrain on my road bike and criss-crossing the country on my cross-country skis.
