I'm no dietician, but if you have a personal deep fryer sitting at your desk you might have a problem. While I can see the appeal to frying food that normally isn't fried, such as candy bars, tomatoes, or cuts of veal, it seems like something you shouldn't be doing so much that you need one next to your keyboard. Well, it's your funeral. This snack-size deep fryer holds about 5 cups of delicious, fattening oil and can hold about a pound and a quarter of sizzling food. It heats up to 375 degrees at its hottest, which should be hot enough to kill any bacteria in the clearance-rack ham you're shoving in it. If you use this on a regular basis it's safe to say you'll see a pretty solid upward line over time on your USB scale. The snack-sized deep fryer is available online now for a mere $40, a fraction of the cost of a triple bypass. — Adam Frucci
