What You Get
'Fruit Clock' by Heebie Jeebies. Clock height - 6cm. Colours vary, a random colour will be selected for your order.
How does it work?
The science behind it is simple; the Fruit Clock works just like a car battery, where the metal feet act as the electrodes and the fruit provides the acid electrolyte in the form of a natural organic acid like citric acid. Acidic fruits like Oranges, Lemons, Grape Fruits and Tomatoes work best.
