Yes, this Operation Apron is exactly what it looks like: a cooking cover designed after the hit game. Many children had their dreams of being a surgeon dashed while playing Operation. This apron allows you to relive your childhood, to a point, anyways. It won't shock you should you fail to successfully extract the writer's cramp, but it is a fun way to keep yourself clean in the kitchen.
The Operation Apron is more or less a spot-on replica of the game, albeit without the electric shock. Quirky aprons such as this have been gaining in popularity as more and more chefs get in touch with their geeky/childish side. Here's hoping this shift to board game-based aprons continues. The Operation Apron sells for around $23 and is available now.
