London - It looks like a space-age sewing machine, but this is, in fact, a limited-edition device invented for pulling party poppers - those silly plastic containers that explode confetti into the air.

At £600 (about R8 000), it’s hardly cheap and also surprisingly low-tech, with a battery-operated clockwork mechanism made from steel and brass.

Yes, it’s oddly fascinating, but not worth the price - even if it does come with 50 party poppers and nine-volt batteries included. - Daily Mail
