How does the company make money?

πŸ’° Midnight Scoop – The Midnight Scoop is an amazing piece of engineering. When it comes to ice cream scoops, it is rare to find one that is shaped for your hand. The Midnight Scoop is a curved long-handle ice cream scoop, and that is what makes it extraordinary. Unlike traditional scoops, it allows you to use the muscles of your arm and chest rather than your wrist. These strong muscles let you scoop without straining your wrist. This is the most efficient way to scoop because you are digging through the ice cream, rather than prying it. The long-handle ice cream scoop design allows you to scoop more efficiently. You will never look back after the Midnight Scoop. $39.95

πŸ’° Midnight Slice – When it comes to choosing the best pizza cutter, we believe that it should not cause you any wrist or culinary distress. Did you know that most pizza cutters on the market are hard to clean, easy to break, and produce uneven cuts? That’s why we decided to design a slicer that can reduce wrist fatigue when slicing crispy thin crusts or thicker pizza pies while making it easier for you to clean- just toss it in the dishwasher when you’re done! 

This slicer is not like any ordinary pizza cutter. The 3 parts slicer (ergonomic handle, the sharp cutting wheel, and the wheel-tightened screw) is 100% stainless steel. It is designed to be efficient and comfortable for your hands. And, who says pizza cutters are only good for slicing pizzas? You can use the Midnight Slice to cut through a variety of different foods like quesadillas, tortillas, pies, vegetables, sandwiches, pasta, and even blocks of fudge. It’s a convenient addition to your kitchen arsenal and it will last you a lifetime. $49.95
