A smart egg tray. It was in fact quite stupid. Mainly purchased it because of how absurd it was.

Main issues:

it was constantly wrong about how many eggs were in the tray
it was wrong about the eggs age.
it took 6AA batteries that only lasted a month at best.

That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.
