Hm, I think I'll invest in the "Nixitch" instead: https://auctionet.com/sv/608578-ask-nixitch-fran-filmen-agget-ar-lost-delades-ut-pa-premiaren-i-lund-1975 It's a promo-gadget from a swedish film premiered in 1975, scroll down a tad and you'll see a skincloured thingamabob and a yellow box. Part of the story of the (quietly psychedelic) film is, this prodict is the straw that breaks the back - it's made from eggs and is more profitable than selling eggs, creating an egg shortage, riots, and finally armed insurrection and anarchy. People simply got fed up that the beastly industrialist owning the Nixitch factory (Max von Sydow) got even richer by selling a resource-destroying ass-scratcher, rather than food. Yeah, it's social commentary against rampant destructive capitalism and communism alike. If you can find the film, "Ägget är löst" (which is a pun, referring to soft-boiled eggs - 'löst') it's well worth an hour and a half, even without dub.
