Your review was spot on. I ordered a green one as well as a green thermopop. I bought it mainly to use while grilling/smoking since I have a timer on the microwave in the kitchen. However, if I need an additional kitchen timer, this will do the trick. Like others, it will be nice to not depend on the iPhone for a timer. It gets old using it with slightly greasy fingers...I'm not worried about that with the timestick.
