Vicious Cycle

StemGrip

Bursts of steam emanate from cracks in a locked door. The unnerving sound of breaking glass is heard. A sense of dread overcomes you.

Haunted house? Crime scene?

Worse. The dishwasher.

You’d like to put an end to the appliance’s brutal murder of your wineglasses, but you’re just not one to get off on the whole wash-by-hand thing. StemGrip, a wineglass holder made expressly to fit your dishwasher, solves the problem. Insert the handy gadget on a single post of the top rack; then attach the stems of your wineglasses to the plastic clips. They hold your stemware firmly in place, preventing the usual massacre. And StemGrip will even stop scratching and damage from the neighboring dishes.

Meaning you can finally stop regarding the dishwasher in terror.

And get your thrills somewhere else.
