Ten Years Gone
Hey, Meh writer @JasonToon here. Reading this ancient Woot story for an ice-cream maker really brought out the feels. And the remembers.
Ah, that crude but charming purple and white: can you believe there were people who loved it so much, they quit the site in a huff when we changed it (or so they said)? Ew, they were refurbished, that’s kind of gross. But we still sold 2500 of them. And how clever we thought we were, selling an ice-cream maker in January, rallying the “exxxtreme paradigm surfers” to “feel the G’s” with a bowl of freezing ice cream in freezing weather.
Well, now we’ve double-flipped the script: ice cream in June! Feel those G’s!
Let the circle be unfrozen with this Oster Ice Cream Maker. It’s not refurbished. It’s probably more advanced than that old Cuisinart in some way. But it basically makes ice cream and related frosty treats, just the way we liked them ten years ago.
Yep, check that date: January 19, 2005. More than a decade ago. Which means I’ve now been writing goofy little product stories for the Brothers Rutledge longer than Tina Fey worked for Saturday Night Live, longer than Sean Connery played James Bond, longer than the Clash were a band. Yikes. I’ll just be sitting here thinking about whether that’s something to be proud of. And probably eating too much ice cream.
