The ice cream scoop has been perfected

Many casualties have been suffered in the countless battles between man and ice cream. The scoops commonly available on the market have generally been no match for the frozen, rock-solid concoctions that come out of our freezers.

Sure, man has tried many things to help give him an advantage of the ice cream. We’ve ran ice cream scoops under hot water hoping to gain that critical edge over our frozen treats to get the delight from container to bowl. We’ve also seen specially designed scoops that promise to easily get perfectly shaped scoops just like the muscly armed scoopers at Baskin Robbins deliver constantly.

But now, we might have our weapon. A true ally in the war on deliciousness. A serrated ice cream scoop from AMCO Houseworks, with a comfortable handle, a jagged edge for cutting to the core of our ice cream enemies, and a die-cut, textured head for the easy release of our ice cream scoops once they’re picked up. All of this, AND it is dishwasher safe, for $9.99? I’ll take 10, please.

The brilliance and utility of this next-generation scoop may only be matched by the ingenuity of Gizmodo users making comments about the potential the school could have in their kitchens. Those leaving comments at Gizmodo were extra punny in their messages this week, including:

“I don’t eat enough ice cream to really dig this.”

“Ice cream will melt when it sees this coming at it.”

“I was sitting here, just chilling at home, and then I find this. What a treat!”

“I’ll scoop one of these up!”
