Monsterous Spaghetti Strainers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Spaghetti Monster' Can Drain Pasta with More Ease Than Before

— September 5, 2017 — Art & Design
The 'Spaghetti Monster' is an adorable colander that'll humor one's dinner guests and fill a mundane kitchen with wonder.

The functional kitchen staple can drain pasta with the added benefit of appearing as a mystified, other-worldly creature. Two handles on either side of the product's body appear as large, googly eyes, while three stubby legs offer balance. Aside from its monstrous aesthetic, the googly eyes offer a more efficient method of shaking water from the pasta, eliminating the probability of one's hands touching the food.

Packing the Spaghetti Monster with noodles creates the effect that the creature is wearing a mop of messy blond hair, adding even more value to an already entertaining piece of kitchen equipment.
