It’s not just a thermometer, it’s not just a pen, no it isn’t…it’s every auditors dream gizmo – a super deluxe infra red thermometer and ballpoint pen combo.

Finished in fashionable brushed steel with polished steel trim - to facilitate easy cleaning; this gizmo will ensure you’re the envy among your food safety buddies this Christmas.

The gizmo boasts a patented twist barrel pen nib launching feature to facilitate seamless transfer between reading and recording temperatures.

Real time temperature digitization is enabled via the on-board high resolution display screen system. The gizmo comes primed with electric blue smooth flow writing fuel, is fully power enabled and features an extremely versatile and sturdy clip mechanism to suit a wide range of clothing configurations.

Whether barbecuing on Everest or turkey basting in the Andes this system enjoys operating effectively. Artic or Amazon, the gizmo point blank refuses to let you down. It's tough, it's rugged, it's sexy.

Simply put this is the gizmo no self respecting food safety practitioner should be without this Christmas. What’s more it comes with our 110% ‘zero audit nonconformity or send it back’ guarantee. And that’s guaranteed.

I want the gizmo because the name is so cool, and why not I could boast about it with my spanish collegues. If you listen the name "GIZMO", you must think in a Good Instrument Zoom Machinery & Object". I think we always bought machines and object with charm names

Why not I want this because I am so practical and I need it !!! Please give me one!!!!

You know this is our most successful competition ever. I think ‘finish the caption’competitions could be the way forward. Next year I will contact a few suppliers of relevant and interesting products to see if they would like to sponsor a competition.

If I were allowed to enter I would say;

I want the gizmo because...because, because, because, because...because of the wonderful things it does.

If I only had a brain. :rolleyes:
