Kickball Ice Cream Makers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Ice Cream Maker Will Help You to Work Up an Appetite

— September 1, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Kickball Ice Cream Maker turns the dull and laborious task of churning ice cream by hand into a fun experience.

As its name suggests, the Kickball Ice Cream Maker is an ice cream maker in the shape of a traditional kickball. The ball opens in the middle where you put cream, sugar, and your choice of flavoring in one half, and you put ice and rock salt in the other compartment. When you're done, you put the two halves together and start churning with the power of your feet. The exterior of the Kickball Ice Cream Maker is made of soft rubber, and can withstand your repeated kicks.

Making one pint of ice cream will take about 20 minutes of play, and hopefully you'll have burned off enough calories to compensate for those you're about to eat.

1. Pedal-powered Appliances - Innovative ice cream maker demonstrates the potential to create pedal-powered kitchen appliances for eco-conscious consumers.
