Butterball’s first handheld is no fun at all.

It may look like a frozen turkey-shaped Game Boy, but the Butterball Buddy is played more like a game of hot potato. You pass it around and when it stops making noise the person holding it is randomly assigned a Thanksgiving Day task like helping the chef or washing dishes. You can win one through Butterball’s website, and the rest of the year it functions as a kitchen timer.
