With the growing amount of online references being used as everyday phrases, the Facebook Like oven mitt just solidifies this break between the real and virtual world.
If you prefer straightforward communication, the Facebook Like button is as simple as it gets. If you like something, you make it apparent. If you don't, you refrain from commenting. The oven mitt is a humorous and cheeky spin-off of the iconic symbol. Perfect for social media nerds and geeky chefs, the mitt is not only conversation-worthy, but practical for getting hot meals out of the oven. It also lets you tell your hungry family whether dinner is ready to be served, just give them a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
Designed by Enrique Luis Sardi, the Facebook Like oven mitt is made in Milan, Italy and can be purchased for just under $30.
