Super-egg
Piet Hein Super-egg
The Super-Egg is the three dimensional expression of the SUPERELLIPSE-formula. The Super-Egg was "laid" for the first time in 1965 at manufacturer Skjøde in Skjern.
The Super-Egg immediately became very popular, and became a major article of export especially to USA. The company, which made the Super-Egg in those days had to pick an international name, and which then was "The Super-Egg World Center". The Super-Egg is still made in Denmark, and has experienced a renaissance as a toy, today it is also referred to as the "Anti-stress egg".
Anti-stress egg
THE SUPEREGG IS A SCULPTURE, A GAME AND AN AMULET.
IT IS A SPACIOUS ELABORATION OF THE SUPERELLIPSE®.
IT IS ABLE TO STAND UPRIGHT ON BOTH ENDS - WITHOUT CHEATING.
Drink cooler
The super-egg shaped drink-cooler in function. It does not dilute the drink, can go into the dishwasher and can be frozen in your deep-freezer an endless number of times.
The Super Egg as a drink-cooler is the result of many scientific experiments with the purpose of finding the ideal cooling method for drinks. The Super Egg formed like this contains a (secret) chemical liquid (water) which is why it has 2 advantages:
- It cools the drink more than twice as long,
- and it does not dilute the drink
In time place the right number of Super Eggs in the freezer. The "Eggs" will start turning lustreless and then slowly descend through the degrees of cold.
When after an hour they are completely frozen they are ready. Do not seize them with moist fingers - the fingers will freeze on to the Super Eggs! - but with ice tongs or a spoon. - Tilt the glas a bit when putting the Super Egg in. See to it that the Super Egg is placed in a vertical position. This is purely an aesthetic precaution. After that pour the whisky or the cocktail in.
Finally when it has fulfilled its mission as a drinks cooler the Super Egg may forthwith pass on to its function as an entertainment factor in that one tries to roll it into the upright position in the many different possible ways, all of which is often quite suitable for the time when drinks have been swigged.
The growing number of Super Eggs collected this way will ensure the consumer more and more entertainment and relaxation. - Once the number exceeds what a person can manage to control in practice on the table, that individual will find it natural to continue on the floor.
For such divertisements the Super Egg is greatly superior to the ice cube since it may be put into one's pocket and be used the next time again - concerning which solely the worst of experiences have been gained using ice cubes.
In an aesthetically pleasing way the Super Egg also replaces the olive which it is otherwise your unpleasant duty to eat - or adversely you will have it on your conscience not eating it - and it is a billion times as durable.
