10 Novelty Appliances - Use them or Yardsale them?
January 16, 2009 by Gwen
Christmas has passed and you have been inundated with plenty of new and fantastically outrageous gifts. For some reason, people who don’t know what you like always try to come up with something unique. (Or maybe they know you well and think you’re quirky!)
Anyway, there is unique and then there is useless. We have compiled some rather “unusual” gifts that you may have received this past holiday season and the burning question is: Who do you think would Use them and who would Yardsale them?
The Hot Dog Toaster
Use It: Pregnant women. Five year olds. Fast Food connoisseurs who can’t get to McDonalds quickly enough.
Yardsale It: People who think ramen isn’t really food.
The Popcorn Maker
Use It: People with luxurious lifestyles and home theaters. And I don’t mean a big screen TV and the clapper. Ok, those people too.
Yardsale It: People that call televisions “idiot boxes”. People that think that microwave popcorn is too much work.
The Chocolate Fountain
Use It: Romantic saps. Oompa Loompas. Choco-holics. People with up-coming holiday events.
Yardsale It: Diabetics.
Old-Fashioned Cotton Candy Maker
Use It: Church & School festival organizers. Hot dog vendors that need something new in their life.
Yardsale It: Mothers.
Presto! Pizza Machine
Use It: People with patience (let me finish!). Picky eaters that order half-caff, skinny lattes with two raw sugars and no froth.
Yardsale It: Anyone that would rather order take-out.
Peanut Butter Maker
Use It: Homeschooling families that make their own jelly as well. Nutritionists.
Yardsale It: People that think cleaning a sticky knife from spreading peanut butter is hassle enough. People with peanut allergies.
Freeze and Play Ice Cream Making Ball
Use It: A cat? Your toddler? Google employees?
Yardsale It: People that prefer not to play with their food.
The Garlic Roaster
Use It: Italian Mamas and other geniuses of taste. Really paranoid Anne Rice enthusiasts.
Yardsale It: People that think “following a recipe” means getting a box of brownie mix and adding the water and eggs. People that hate garlic.
The Yogurt Maker
Use It: Yoga Grandmoms. Empty nesters. Jamie Lee Curtis.
Yard Sale It: Anyone whose fridge has seen more green bread than white.
Mini Vending Machine
Use It: Who wouldn’t use it?
Yard Sale It: Amish people. That’s about it.

All you need is an icebox a knife and a stove. Then what do you cook things in? What do you measure with? With no computer, how could Terry Wagar be a colossal douche?
HA colossal douche. I like
“Yardsale It: People that think cleaning a sticky knife from spreading peanut butter is hassle enough. People with peanut allergies.”
Haha, this made me laugh. I have a peanut allergy and I actually want one of those peanut butter makers- you can also make almond butter using those, and almond butter is very tasty and doesn’t have the whole death thing in it that peanuts do.
Haha great compilation, for garlic under Yard Sale it, you should have added Vampires.
