Still, why do people buy automated can openers, or electric pepper mills? Unless they are disabled, it just seems to be such a waste.
His experience was that the can openers never worked, but his parents kept trying and buying new models. Maybe by now they work. Still I don't see why anyone would want to have one. Call me a treehugger, but why waste energy and produce toxic waste for something you could easily do manually.
Yeah, but his point was nonsensical (or at least hyperbole). He said:
and usually the can ends up half-open, half-bent up to the point where it's un-openable short of dynamite.
Automated can openers usually spoil cans? If that were true, people wouldn't use them because most of their food would go to waste.
