I find this week’s mystery item to be extremely visually intriguing. Its organic shape reminds of me of both a tree and a coral reef. But that’s just my imagination running away with me. What’s your best guess for this helpful item? I’ll give you a hint as to scale; it won’t fit on your kitchen counter.

What the...?

Take some time to ponder this one, then let us know what you think it is. (Not you, Kelley, best boss ever.) We’ll be checking for your responses. And be sure to come back tomorrow for the answer and to see who got it right.
