Kitchen gadgets anonymous.
It happens every few months that I cave in to the little merry maid on my back and buy something touted as being 'revolutionary' for storage.  I believe it has to do with the happy-dancing-singing-frolicking-"I can't believe how much better my life is now that I have a place for all of my crab dip"-type advertisements that inundate my subconscious when I fall asleep in front of the tv in the "paid presentation" hours of the morning.  But I digress.<br /><br />Colors are good.  The idea has merit.  The execution, however, could use some massaging.<br /><br />My first issue:  The carousel system is chintzy.  In particular, the container supports.  I almost sheered a couple off in my methodical scramble to assemble it and have a better life.<br /><br />My second issue:  The container caps don't really fit into the alotted slot.  Perhaps I was misinterpreting the diagram that showed them fitting into their container stall.  Maybe they just sent me a rowdy bunch of non-conformists.  I'm not sure.  But they just don't seem to be happy fitting in where they should.<br /><br />My third issue:  I almost poked an eye out when the "flip-out" function deployed unexpectedly and caught me by surprise.  While I was putting it in my cabinet and anticipating all of the happiness my impending purchase would bring to me, the containers shifted and attacked me.  Be wary.  They're wiley.<br /><br />All-in-all, the idea is pretty good.  Maybe it just takes more than colored, spinnning, plastic containers to bring true bliss to my life.
