Kitchen appliances no one needs


I got a real kick out of this Amazon.com list of Appliances No One Needs.

Although it's true that you could live your entire life without a chocolate fountain or a home sno-cone machine, isn't it a happier world for the fact that we can buy these things, should our home be a sno-cone makin' palace, or a place where everything is dipped in chocolate?

To me, the most ludicrous item is the nacho-cheese warmer, and the one I might end up buying for myself is the Butter Boy corn-on-the-cob butterer. Handy!


Also, I'm not quite sure I even know what a jerky gun is.

We use our bread machine all the time! It's definitely not useless. The hot dog roller thing scares me a little, though.

Once you have a corn butterer, you'll never go back. Seriously.

We bought our chocolate fountain as a gag, but we use it all the time.

I have a cotton candy maker AND a Snoopy Sno-Cone maker. I couldn't live without them.

My son gave me a Butter Boy for Christmas and I can't imagine NOT having it now! However, my granddaughter received a Snoopy Sno-cone maker for her birthday the other day and it is the gift from hell. She is five and said "No way! Put it back in the box!"

Got the Waring Pro Large popcorn maker (theater-style) from Macys.com and I absolutely adore it and use it all the time! Movie nights have not been the same since we got the popcorn maker that makes popcorn that actually tastes like it came from the theater! We also have a hot dog roller from some nostalgia line and I must admit those rolled dogs taste pretty darned good. We don't need any of it and I shudder to think of moving again with all this useless crap but it sure does make food taste better and parties more fun!
