Prediction: N/A

The Website for this campaign is already down, so I'll refrain from making an obvious prediction. I only posted this review for future research purposes. Items have a way of recycling.

As for why it may not have been successful, I think it highlights a point about multi-function products. They rarely succeed because the problem/solution is weak. (Aren't your tired of having to reach in your drawer to get a knife when you're done using your kitchen shears? Neither am I.)

Multi-function kitchen gadgets have a particularly poor record on DRTV. The more "Swiss Army" they are, the worse they perform. This one only has two functions, and it has a cool demo. But once you get past that, there isn't much to get excited about.
