We still haven't completely figured this one out, but I thought that for $3 I could take a chance ;-) It was creatively labeled as a "gadget". We have found it listed as both a melon baller and as a grapefruit corer. I doubt it is particularly good at either task, but I still think it's cool.

It looks to me like something to squeeze juice - similar to a garlic press but bigger. Could it be a lemon juice press or something like that?
That's what I thought at first, but the bottom is completely open and it doesn't squeeze anything. It doesn't really cut anything very well either though... ;-)
