IT’S AN ICE-CREAM MAKER! IT’S A KICKBALL! It’s both!

Actually, my mother bought that thing as a gift for various kids in the family last year. “Kickball”? You read the instructions, and it’s more like, a “roll gently back and forth, and don’t you DARE kick it!” ball. (Guess the plastic gets brittle at ice cream temperatures, or some such.) Boring!

Bummer. I liked the idea of having kids kick the thing around, then eat ice cream.
