Is there an advantage to buying this over just zinc, magnesium and B-6? If there is an advantage, is the extra cost worth it? What is the extra cost?

That's what I was was thinking. If you need to do over 5 or 6 cloves it would be worth using, but how often do you need that much? It does look pretty fun though.

As often as you spend $20 a month on paper towels.

Depends on how much you need, sure. It's not worth it for 1 clove. But I would say that most times I cook with fresh garlic, I use it. So I find it handy.

Give it a whirl. They're only $10.

How big is this thing? Do I run it back and forth using my thumb and forefinger or do i need to ride it around my house like a unicycle?

Spoiler:

Please say unicycle. Please say unicycle.

If it was a unicycle, it would be more like an apple chopper.

GYRATION AIR MOUSE

I bought one of these 2 years ago for poker. I have my computer desk 5 or 6 feet in front of my office door. I smoke, so pausing all my tables and unpausing them to have a cig was a PITA. Now I just go outside, point the mouse in the windows of the door, and play on.
