hoveringsombreroRecently, as in Thursday, my air popper bit the big one.
Luckily enough it died the second it finished giving me a bowl of poppycorn. The fan apparently crapped out, it still heats up, but the fan doesn't spin and makes a grinding noise and a horrid electrical smell.
I was rather sad, I know they're cheap but didn't know when I'd get around to getting another. So I was hanging out with
girlperson in her kitchen talking, and I started whining about my poor dead poppyguy, and she suddenly ran away, and came back with a box with a popper in. Apparently they don't eat the glorious exploding corns, so they had no use for it and she'd been meaning to give it to me. Wonderful timing.
It served me well but it was badly designed, nose was too wide and squat, so I always had to guard it at the last few moments to catch the corns exploding all over the kitchen as they exited the popper at terminal velocity.
Here is olddead next to newhotness.
And newhotness doing its thing
It also has one design flaw, but I'm much happier with this one. Its heatyhole is too deep, so after the popping is done and I turn it off, I have to take off the top and shake out the last corns. This is MUCH MORE PLEASANT of a "problem" than poppycorns flying crazy suicide missions all over that corner of the kitchen.
I did turn on olddead one last time just to make sure it was dead, and it definitely is. So it has gone to the big kitchen in the sky for good now.
I haven't actually eaten the corns that were just exploded for the picture, I just REALLY wanted to try out the newguy, corns can wait till I want them later.
