I'm not falling for that again. You think you're getting an assembled child but it's usually a kit, and they never warn you not to open the little plastic baggy of white stuff with your teeth.Either that or one of those refurbished model kits from someone who has taken the child apart again after deciding they didn't want it anymore. Ever tried explaining that to the cops? Even with a receipt they put you on a list.
Look. The older, more established models are infinitely superior. An older model that's been around for 35 or so years without breaking down, and is still running smoothly, is by far preferable, in my opinion. New, relatively untried models are unreliable, tend to burn out under pressure, and can't be relied upon to work under unusual conditions.The older, well established model will perform well, smoothly and reliably, even under pressure, and furthermore will respond very well to a knowledgeable operator.
. And can be even older, everything under 30 years old is acceptable…
I don't think that would qualify as 'children' or 'infant' anymore. :left:The scary thing is that this is targeted advertising based on my buying habits. So what does this say about me? :insane::p
Perhaps some perfect housewives bought egg piercers, princesses and girls pink justice so they think you might want to buy them too as you've already searched for one of these…
I *love* kitchen gadgets, but honestly most of them are crap and just take up space. Trying to think of the most useless (or unused, and therefore effectively the same) one that I've got, or had. An old Bean slicer, probably – got in a garage sale and was obviously from the 50s or earlier…followed by a tomato slicer…looked useful, didn't work haha…You try holding the tomato down, and keeping it in place while you try & saw through it with this…Can't say I've ever tried girl's pink justice while cooking tea though….obviously I've led a sheltered and unadventurous life…

So they're following the 1950's stereotype that a woman's place is in the kitchen and thus that anyone purchasing a kitchen gadget must be a woman with children? :pC'mon, nobody actually thinks like that anymore and in most households, it's the men that do most of the cooking!

Look carefully at that photo and you'll see that it was sliced almost all the way through in advance. :pWhich is almost the only way with an over ripe tomato like that.Yes, most kitchen gadgets are not particularly useful. The egg-piercer is one of those rare items that is a better option than reaching for the old school maths set though! :p

I haven't said it can't be male, I just don't know the expression for a male housewife… Perhaps some people really bought all three stuff…Originally posted by FlaRin:

This post was the first place on which I've heard of egg-piercer…I've lived pretty well without the idea of it… And that tomato slicer is silly, you can do basically the same job with a knife 😀

I've used a compass needle for piercing eggs in the past, but I've lost that needle. :pI hate it when eggs crack open while you're boiling them. It annoys me. :left:
I've never pierced eggs… It must depend on eggs, my eggs crack so rarely that it can't annoy me if it happens ones in a while…Originally posted by FlaRin:
Wow, under thirteen dollars. :eyes:
And a "kitchen helper" only for $0.99 :chef:
It's amazing what you can get on Ebay. :p

I might be interested in an older model. Say, 17-19. No audio card required…

Here's an older prince(ss) model for you EDIT: By the way, that "kitchen helper" actually looks more like a "bedroom helper" 😆
😮
Dennis – at least it wasn't the Egg slicer….

I would add it would be great if they have male models too… And can be even older, everything under 30 years old is acceptable…

A plastic egg piercer! 🙄
That really explains everything :cheers:

Seriously, what does a tool for food preparation have to do with clothing or children. :left:
I would have picked Irony over Sarcasm as the genre for that comment, but there you go 🙂
It is irony but it's not like I've made that meme, I've just used the one that was closest to the message I've wanted to send 🙂
