Consumer News and Links for Jan. 23rd (Late Edition)
From the Melon Baller Sounds Like Something Dirty! department:
Rex Jory at the Advertiser in Australia argues that we can gauge our consumerism by the crazy contraptions in our kitchens. Things he has in his kitchen include a plastic pineapple corer, a strawberry huller and a metal melon baller. I don’t even know what these things are! The most exotic tool in my kitchen is a pepper mill. Who needs all that stuff? If you own any of this stuff, do you actually use it on a regular basis? I’m just curious. I love to cook and prepare food, but I can’t think of one single instance where I would need a melon baller in place of a spoon that I already own. (The Advertiser)
