School Supply Veggie Peelers

The Karoto Giant Pencil Sharpener Makes Food Prep Fun and Fast

— September 5, 2012 — Art & Design
Knives and traditional vegetable peelers are a thing of the past thanks to the Karoto Giant Pencil Sharpener. This fun product is being released just in time for the start of the school year, and is perfect for helping to prep lunches.

The Karoto looks just like a standard black (also available in orange) pencil sharpener, but instead of sharpening your pencils and pencil crayons, it will peel your veggies with ease. Just stick a carrot, cucumber of zucchini inside, or any veggie that has the same shape, and you'll be done prepping your veggies in a flash.

It's available from Monkey Business and can be ordered off its site.
