This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

As seen on TV!
Back in the Dark Ages when TV was in black and white, Mom used to watch daytime TV. I vaguely remember it- the Mike Douglas Show, Let's Make A Deal, the Merv Griffin Show- and I remember the commercials. Especially K-Tel and Ronco.

Mom sent off a check one day, and eventually there arrived in the mail a genuine Veg-O-Matic. It dices! It slices! Chop onions with no more tears!



Apparently you can still buy them, but Mom gave up on hers after a time and left it on a shelf in the basement.

Not that long ago I was in the basement and found it, still in its original box. I asked Mom for it and she laughed and told me to take it away.

Something about the way she laughed makes me almost afraid to open the box...

I don't think it desiccates as well
Unless the penis was stored in silica gel.

I'm sorry. I can't help myself. I think I have a serious problem.

Any body part left for years on a shelf in the basement will desiccate.

Nowadays
You'll see a "Nicer Dicer". Same idea, same heap of crap. All these veg dicers have the same fundamental flaw - in virtually every case you have to scrub and peel the veg and possibly chop it into small bits to fit the dicer. At which point you may as well just have chopped the bloody veg all the way for the effort it saves.
