Two Food-Related Gadgets I Can't Get My Head Around

There are people in this world for whom cooking is an art, a matter of layering flavors and textures to create sublime harmony of foodstuff.  I am not one of them.  Ergo, it may  be my own culinary limitations that make me unable to comprehend why anyone would need a $15 tool like the Melon Ease melon slicer - a device with a sole purpose of slicing melons. No doubt the melon slices will always be uniform and look very pretty, but I can't imagine a world in which I would eat enough melon to make this a viable tool to add to my kitchen arsenal. 

Unless I could also use it to vanquish the hideous vegetable beasties one can create with these Vegiforms (pictured here) - plastic forms one can use to give their growing vegetables faces; because man, these things give me the major heebie jeebies.  Food should not have a face, unless it had one before it was food.  (Otherwise you end up with things like this happy face luncheon meat, which is also unnatural and unnerving.)
