The Ab-Doer? I guess they ran out of verbs.

More, I think to do with the name of the inventor - John Abdo.
Question is, did he change his name because he'd just invented a(nother) abdominal excercise machine or did he wake up one morning and decide to invent a product he could use his name to market?

Wow. You know, they are also selling the PieDart® for those of us who are "afraid of making pie crust." Which is a good thing because honestly, I've been terrified since age 2.

Maybe my mind is in the gutter, but the description to the PieDart® sounds strangely dirty. Perhaps the initial sentence, "Just slip the dough between the two magic PieDart layers." set the tone as such.
