Eventually scars should fade
Without comedy we might not realise just how silly some of our gadgets really are. Today I caught her routine dealing with the George Foreman grill. I know it well. I bought 2. Slightly used at a discount price but the brand was on the box. I think one of them is with one of my sons although I cannot say whether or not he ever takes it out-of-the-box. Anyhow the comedy routine was dealing with the design flaws in this gadget. There are many. If you would like to have grill marks in your hand this is the perfect device. No way to use it safely but if you are hungry it might be the fastest way to a party Chard burger. Or a grilled cheese sandwich. One with the cheese has the consistency of flowing lava. The grill is hot and there is no way to change how hot that is. Other than counting down the seconds. We bought ours without knowing what it was. This was not something that had ever been advertised on TV locally. It’s not hard to learn how to use one plug it in put your food in press down on the cover until your hand is burning and then stop with any luck your burger or your grilled cheese will be done to perfection. And that was the point of the comedy routine. Although advice in the industry was available the company decided to forget about it and go with low cost. Let the buyer figure out all the other parts. I keep mine around just in case I ever need to destroy a sandwich or burger patty. I can clean up after the fact when things have cooled to a point where 3rd degree burns are no longer possible. I should check in with son #3 and see if he ever uses his. If not I will forward the video to him so he can be equally warrant. And if you think that you should read the instructions, there are not this was a device designed without objective other than keeping the cost low. As I said, I purchased 2 in a used goods store nearby. The perfect impulse purchase. Do I have birthday buyer’s remorse? No and most of my burn scars have faded overtime period.
