Picked this up in Aldi today for 20p, but not sure what it is.

What is this?

Nutcracker?

This is why I can't go to Aldi. The pull of the aisle of randomness is too strong. Although not even I'm guilty of buying stuff that I didn't know what it was!!

Lol I had that conversation in Aldi with DH last week...it’s a nutcracker.

PickleSarnie · 13/01/2019 18:54

Or perhaps it's some sort of S&M Willy torture device?

I thought it was a bottle opener. It looks very similar to one my MIL has as she has arthritis in her hands, and finds it impossible to open wine bottles.

Is it for getting corks out of bottles of sparkling wine? I've stopped buying a certain type of Waitrose Prosecco because I can't get the cork out easily and it's always a worry that any bottle will be 'difficult'.

I might have to look out for one of them myself.

Nutcracker- we’ve got one, very effective with round nuts, but not so with Brazils.

Apparently it is a nutcracker, cork remover and screwtop bottle opener

Ah a nutcracker, I was thinking something like an orange segment squeezer or something. I'll have to buy some nuts now Grin Thanks all

Ah but PickleSarnie, for 20p I didn't really care, knew it'd have to have some use.

Thank you Barbara more uses than I thought.

We have one and whilst it is great for walnuts, hazlenuts are too small. Annoying as fuck

But never knew it had other uses. So won't sling it out just yet.
