Rim Rolling Made Easy

Canada has a long and proud history of food-related inventions and innovations: the electric stove, instant mashed potatoes, the Caesar, the donair, and poutine were all born within our borders.
Recently joining those most august ranks is the Rimroller. Created by Ottawa inventor Paul Kind, the Rimroller is described rather vaguely on its website as a device to “unroll the rim of contest cups”, but every true Canadian knows what they’re really talking about.
It apparently took Mr. Kind three years to develop this “labour-saving device”, and he’s hoping that it will soon be used on many of the 300 million cups that are sold at Tim Horton’s every year, not to mention those sold during knock-off contests that are held at competing coffee chains.
For all you fans of Timmie’s who are tired of getting wax under your fingernails or between your teeth, the Rimroller is available now at Lee Valley Tools for an introductory price of $1.95.
