    A 1960s electric meat slicer. Use it every Thanskgiving. That thing is built like a tank and a probable fire hazard.

    A 70s crockpot/fryer. Another fire hazard that is relegated to hot buttered rum and frying food.

    More recent would be a 720p Samsung TV hooked up to an AppleTV HD we still use in our Master bedroom, mostly for classic movies on TCM. We’ve had it for 15 years and she’s still kicking.

      Back in the '70s my parents got gifted an electric hot dog cooker. It basically had two rows of electrode spikes and you’d stick a bunch of hot dogs between the spikes and electrocute them. Dangerous as fuck since it had no kind of guard or anything - and how hard is it to just boil hot dogs anyway?

        That’s crazy! I’ve never heard of that. I love hot dogs and haven’t had them electrocuted. Any good?

          I don’t remember us ever using the thing. My parents were sort of proto-hippies and we didn’t eat stuff like hot dogs very often.

            Well, they’re made of pigs lips and assholes you know. Don’t blame them.

      I have a 70s meat slicer as well. Brings back a lot of memories (growing up, my parents used theirs at least weekly).
