    Qooker... a normal kitchen tap that can also dispense boiling water.

    Who can forget the wonderful SHUC, one that shouldn't exist, but did make it into the Den. This woman spent 200k of her own dosh on this idea

        We've got them here, useful for topping up your tea when the mean tea lady is serving small measures.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                I am amazed that gets past H&S when normal hot water requires warning signs.

                It must be more obvious in person, but it just looks like a hot tap in the photo. OW!

                  Quooker's advertising which claimed that they were more energy efficient and cheaper than using a kettle was recently banned by the ASA.

                  ASA used the evidence provided by Quooker themselves, which showed that their claims were bollux.
