Beet Wagon posted:Yeah apparently they have leased out the design and collected a royalty or whatever from a bunch of restaurants around the world (don't know how truthful that is) but because it's patented in America they want to open their own place to reap 100% of the profits. All this because he drunkenly bought a hotdog and a hamburger one night, I guess. quote:Mark decided to apply to Shark Tank USA. A show that puts budding Entrepreneurs in front of a ruthless panel of high profile investors. Mark made an application, even offering to cover his own expenses to get from Australia to the USA, though was rejected. Then one day Mark noticed the new Australian version of Shark Tank was looking for ideas to be pitched on the coming show. Mark made an application and was accepted. Airing on Shark Tank Australia's first episode, all the panel of investors laughed the idea away as any type of real business. Though while "Shark" Andrew Banks didn't see it as a business, he though it was worth a "punt" and a few phone calls, offering to try and sell the Patent for a share in what he could get for it. "When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England." Edit: "Our experience with our Food Stalls at public events has proven we can produce an average of four Hamdog's a minute with six staff which is still not fast enough. Though with an efficient store layout, staff and processes, we believe we can produce 300+ Hamdog's per hour."

Beet Wagon posted:However, ALCHEMA received over triple the amount it asked for and you can now begin taking preorders for a countertop fermentation bucket to make fruitbooze with! I'll keep you posted for when someone inevitably gets botulism and they have to shut the whole thing down I can't throw money at things you don't link. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alchema/alchema-turn-fruit-into-personalized-craft-cider?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=alchema "ALCHEMA enables you to homebrew your own unique flavor of hard craft cider. With the simplicity of making a pot of coffee, you can turn your favorite fruit into craft cider with limitless flavor options." Oookay... "We created Alchema to simplify homebrewing, starting with cider. Alchema brings the joy of craft cider to you and your loved ones. You pick the ingredients, and let Alchema take care of the rest!" Are you saying tha canst give booze t'baby? "With Alchema, you can create your own flavor of craft cider or mead within 2 weeks. You can also make wine with Alchema with your own resource of wine grapes and age it for longer." It doesn't take me two weeks to brew a cup of coffee. Mead? That's a fairly intensive procedure that involves fois gras'ing the yeast with honey... "Fermentation is a natural process where yeast transforms sugar into alcohol. Alchema simplifies the homebrew hassle by helping you enjoy your own craft cider in just 3 easy steps: "  Compare with the homebrew steps of; 1) Look up on internet 2) Mash up fruit 3) Add Yeast 4) Keep the flies out and wait. "Alchema is equipped with medical grade UV-C LED light that sanitizes the container before starting the fermentation process." Works for bacteria, but won't touch anything hardier, like spores. I'm wondering how they know that fermentation is complete. You'd normally check the alcohol content and the amount of outgassing, but they seem to handwave the app quite a bit.

My personal favorite is the E-Lamp, a bulb that is less effective than a CFL, but more effective than an incandescent, yet cheaper than a CFL, yet both more expensive and less efficient than an LED, thus rendering it useless. Also he has like four things that all claim to be equally able to magically heat and cool objects, which is insane. I thought that one was a high point myself, but at least he's positioned for a market that could exist if everyone gets a simultaneous head injury.

Beet Wagon posted:luv 2 wrap ketchup slices around my fries instead of dipping I think you're being a little short-sighted here, because sheet-form ketchup is only a stepping stone to other structural ketchup forms, such as the tube. This then opens up an entire world of ketchup-tube stuffed foods, but why stop there. Mayhap a spherical enclosure, finally answering the question that the world has perhaps been asking itself sometimes, what would a cheese-stuffed ketchup profiterole taste like, and how could it promote world peace? We've labored under the tyranny of pasta for a long time, but this could presage the rise of a new order in processed food stuffs.

The sodastream is now being pimped by Jillian Micheals. Back in the 1970s, it was the cheap home way to make soda, but taking some horrific offbrand syrup, water and CO2 injection never really caught on the massive way that it should. Now, apparently they've gone with the high juice syrups and re-invented for the fitness generation. - https://www.sodastreamusa.com/Orange-Fruit-Drop-P1022.aspx I got triggered by mention of Grandma, as mine would come from the National Home and Garden exhibition with _every possible unigadget_ you could think of.

Elysiume posted:I bought those claw things on a whim because they were cheap, and they're less effective than a pair of forks and a lot harder to clean because of their various concave bits. I'm tickled that you can still buy the soda stream. In the seventies, you produced the worst knock-off cola imagineable, but your Nan had one for the promise of cheap on demand soda. Turn of the century and they're going with high juices and trying to re-invent the device itself. Now they have Jillian Micheals, 'fitness harridan', pushing them as a water spritzer. I have the sandwich maker. I are stuipd. It works well enough with a muffin and some form of separating out the egg layer, but true to the whole unitasker problem, it's actually more trouble than it's worth. I'm planning to shift it like the equivalent of a gypsy curse at a garage sale.

megane posted:So what I'm hearing is that cast iron is the cooking equivalent of buying a five-hundred-buck limited edition artisanal hand-engraved titanium alloy audio jack instead of using a worthless mass-produced one like an animal, god, any REAL music lover can EASILY hear the difference in quality Not entirely, the people with the FAQs forget that there are different cooking methods, and that we've been skillet cooking on multi-fuel surfaces for loving _ever_. There's also come weird lack of knowledge over the reasons for using stainless over carbon that have everything to do with cooking covers and the practicality of different materials. And, you know, not cooking daily with more butter than Paula Dean. It's certainly not spending huge amounts of money on things like _allclad_ because the poo poo you put in your mouth is more important than the pot you cook in. I like the latent heat capacity of my Lodge for offsetting the poo poo that is a halogen cooker. Beet Wagon posted:It even says not food safe on the bottle, but they'd buy it anyway.

Kangra posted:If you'd told me it was the latest health fad, I would've assumed people just rubbing it on their skin, but drinking? One of the tragic/amusing parts of the aromatherapy fad was finding that orange oil, a toxin, was more readily absorbed by the skin than was first thought. Some people play a little too fast and loose with some chemicals because it takes a few months for exposure to build up, rather than causing injury immediately. See also Egyptian lead based cosmetics and arsenic bleaching powders. Counter: Churchill's crack lozenges. History gets a pass because they don't know any better.

Oddly enough, some of the legal weed vape products appear to be on the harmful side. Strawberry is going to be gross as gently caress as well.
