Why is this a thread?

Good example @VeryHappy, although I have the hand crank model and the same one for 30+ years so, fortunately, little cost and little space needed.

Coffee maker is another.

But my hand crank can opener also has a bottle opener, so is it ineligible for this discussion?

Respectfully disagree. Can opener is a dual-function device. It gets my cats out of their hiding places in addition to opening cans. :slight_smile:

TonyK–I like the idea of the school colors helicopter. It’s like camouflage–they’ll never see you coming.

Ha ha, I want double-like rights for the dual-function can-opener/ cat finder! That’s hilarious!

Posted two days ago on another site I frequent:

My daughter will be living off campus in the fall, but hasn’t found an apartment yet. Should we be starting to panic? Any advice on finding a decent, small apartment?

LOL mom,everyone booked their apartments back in November.

My indoor cat thinks the outside is a box she backs out of. I take her on a leash outside. Should I worry?

Why does it always rain on Memorial Day?

Should I learn Japanese so I can watch anime without them being dubbed??

Why does it never rain anymore?

Received a cherry pitter at a wedding shower 35 years ago. Worked well both times it has been used since.

Our tour guide at Highly Desirable University fell over while walking backwards, wearing flip-flops. Should I call the Director of Admissions to complain?

^^^I sure as hell wouldn’t let my kid go to a school like that.

IRL, I was at a friend’s apartment, and her H was reading an article in the NYT about essential kitchen equipment. Says he, waving the paper in the air, “A nutmeg grater! That’s ridiculous! Who has a nutmeg grater?!?” Me (in small voice), “I have two.” :))

Jolly Rancher thread has over 900 clicks :D/

TWO nutmeg graters?

I wonder if banana slicers come both in horizontal and vertical modes.

Vertical banana slicer? Don’t be ridiculous, @Madison85

Wow, there IS a machine that slices bananas the long way!

YouTube “banana cutter/cutting machine”

Thank GOODNESS! I could never figure out whether to turn the knife,the banana, or the kitchen island 90 degrees.

But, what does one do with banana strips? Is there a fruit salad casserole in a 9x13 calling for these?
