GEEK TOY OF THE WEEK: IN-CAR MICROWAVE

by Hazed

If you're out driving and you suddenly get peckish, but there's no sign of any convenient fast food outlet where you can assuage your hunger, what can you do? Well, with this gadget, you can heat yourself up a meal. It's a mini-microwave that is designed to work in your car.

It's available from a UK electronics retailer, and it plugs into your car's cigarette lighter so you can microwave yourself some popcorn, or heat up cold pizza, while you drive... or maybe it would be better to park first.

It costs £79.97 which is about $180, although if Americans were to order it from Maplins you would have to pay the overseas shipping costs. Maybe a US firm needs to produce one of their own.
