Every night at 10 o’clock I have a button I click in Safari. The moment I click this button, my browser is begins loading around ten “daily deals” websites. Woot.com was the start of it all but it seems to grow by a few sites each year. Most of the deals on these sites aren’t so much great steals as they are “turns out this thing sucks and we’ve gotta liquidate it” deals. Like the time I bought “OEM Apple Ear Pod Headphones” which translated to “OMG how could these sound so horrible” headphones.
But something you get awesome legit deals, like the time I got a sweet vacuum for 80% off. Yes, I have a thing for vacuums. It’s hit or miss and after a while you get an almost religious understanding of how these sites, and their wine compatriots, work things. To me it’s worth checking in at 10 o’clock, midnight CST, to see what’s new.
Last night I clicked and saw something I just couldn’t un-see; partly because my vibrant imagination went directly where it shouldn’t. Remember “Batter Blaster!”? Think along those lines. It’s the Rollie EggMaster Vertical Grill, and I assure you, this is the real deal.
At first I had no idea what I was looking at. I thought, “Maybe it’s not to scale” or “Maybe it’s deeper than it looks (insert joke)” but it was, indeed, the worst possible thing. It was the epitome of laziness, it’s culinary Seppuku, it’s everything that’s wrong with America; inflated value, exaggerated consequences, excess by design, aimed at the lowest-common-denominator, absolute laziness and full of excuses. Hashtag, American Exceptionalism. But beyond all of that, look at the infomercial!
If something wholly inappropriate doesn’t come to mind then you’re lying to yourself. If you for a moment think, “Yeah, I could totally use that and love it!” then we probably can’t be friends. However, I am a pretty forgiving person so feel free to be honest in the comments.
But’s not sell it short. It’s certainly creative, it takes up very little cabinet space, it’s currently on sale for 51% off and best of all, you can now eat your eggs on a stick! Awe geez…
justex07 lol this seems like a lot of work and money just to cook an egg. Probably would be cheaper to just learn how to cook eggs properly
justex07 like, seriously, is it that hard to cook an egg in a pan?
justex07 I too am obsessed with vacuums we must discuss this more.
Yaarik I know right?!
TheDutchessD it’s really bit that hard haha
TheDutchessD it’s really bit that hard haha
justex07 i can’t even go back to sleep now.
TheDutchessD it’s basically the hardest thing in the world. I once took the GRE so I didn’t have to make eggs.
Friedlt YES! Also, brianfox76 has a love for vacuums 🙂 peas in a pod we are!
Yaarik you’re welcome!!
justex07 HAHA!!
justex07 brianfox76 when I was very young my punishment was not being allowed to vacuum the house.
But it only comes with 5 sticks! What if I want to stick more than 5 eggs at a time??
justex07 omg! I saw this advertised here in Australia today! Except it’s $10 more expensive, typically! Lol I’m actually a little curious!
Friedlt brianfox76 ummm that sounds about right! I dream to someday have a house with a central vacuum system. #dork
dgordonau oh no! lol it’s just too much ridiculousness for me to even handle. Though if you got creative it could be interesting…
justex07 I’m trying to think just what kind of ‘creative’ you are talking about? Lol
dgordonau lol
justex07 why dream about it when you can get one installed today! http://t.co/8CLAB5qibe
MDCentralVacuum well first I need a house!
MDCentralVacuum well first I need a house!
justex07 Well once you get a house let us know and we can get you more information!
MDCentralVacuum will do!
This is hilarious! Oh and strangely I also have a love of vacuums. My mom to this day still tells stories about how when I was a child I would ask her to take me to the vacuum isle just so I could look at them… lol. Glad I’m not alone.
