I thought I'd kick things off with a look at food machines. If you ask me appliance manufactures need to really step up their game. It's almost 2013, and I want futuristic machines that will actually prepare and cook the food for you like the Jetson's Foodarackacycle...
I won't be happy until all my food is prepared entirely robotically, and therefore completely untouched by human hands. I'd take that over flying cars any day.
In the meantime we'll have to make due with not-so-futuristic food processors. The built-in Ronson Foodmatic seen in this ad from 1973 looks like the Cadillac of food processors...
The internet tells me that Frank Sinatra supposedly had one of these installed in his kitchen. That's a pretty good endorsement. I'm sure Old Blue Eyes demanded only the best. I wonder if the rest of the Rat Pack got one too.
If the Ronson Foodmatic is too rich for your blood, there's always the Veg-O-Matic...
...or how about the Kitchen Magician...
Hmm, seems almost as impressive as one of David Blaine's stunts. Although the Kitchen Magician sure looks a lot like the Salad Queen...
* Sung to the tune of "Everything is Food" from the 1980 motion picture Popeye.
