Get out the drill, the drywall anchors (and the spackling knife…whoops) for the latest small appliance installation at R29: the original, one of a kind, handy-dandy Can Crusher. There’s no shortage of soda-pop (using both terms to be PC to our friends on both coasts) cans here, and our new tool pancakes them in about 0.9732 seconds. We all enjoy the daily can crush, whether the motivation is to be friendlier to the environment (don’t worry, we also recycle cans after crushing), to release a little inner frustration, or to pump the ego by feeling the brute strength of crushing 100% aluminum alloy, the Can Crusher is an office must-have. After a friendly office debate, what’s your feeling on the name of said beverage: soda or pop? Click on the link below to vote and see the results!
soda. forever soda. All you pop kids can go poppin pop.
This clearly is a case of plastic bottle discrimination; what no vacuum pump to flatten those ever bulging containers of supersized effervescence clogging the recycle bin? Both can provide the Neanderthal need of destruction to release that bottled up aggression after a particularly bad day!
Wow. That really is a feat of engineering.
When are you installing the bottle crusher? Now that would be exciting…crush’in those glass bottles.
If I can get my human shrinking machine to finally work (been working on this since 2001) – then this device will really come in handy. Now I must go eat some frosted flakes because they are great. What? You can see that on the shelf? Silly Rabbit – those are for kids.
As a final note on this fine Sunday morning: I think I’d put on a white tux and stand in front of that bad boy crushing full cans of Dr. Pepper. Why? Because I can sucka. I took the red pill.
I’m out….riding my skateboard over the moon.
Esteban I want to eat whatever brand of frosted flakes you are eating. Make sure you design a hathead hat. Soda or Pop?
Soda or pop, to each their own. I like to say “soda pop” every now and then to reduce controversy.
BUT! Let’s all agree on one thing. Water fountains are “water fountains,” and not “bubblers.” There’s no such “bubbling” action, nor are there bubbles emitting from the source of the drinking fountain itself.
There are bubbles in pop, though. Now I’ve just confused myself.
Mig – OK we can agree that the free purveyor of the elixir of life; H2O is generally referred to as a ‘water fountain,’ although I’ve never seen anyone dropping coins into one, well once but I was in Wisconsin! As far as the territorial dispute, my lineage suggests pop, when referring to carbonated refreshment as opposed to music or culture. Some interesting facts about bubblers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubbler
I was a “pop” guy until I met my wife. She says soda (parents are from Missouri. whatevs MO.), so I started to say soda. I fought it for a while, but my resolve is weaker then that can, crushed by the grip of logic.
Ok…I have to say that the can crusher is one of the greatest inventions ever! We got one over the holidays, and I have to admit, even though I know soda (yes, SODA!) is uber-bad for my teeth, I’ve been drinking way more just so I can use our Crush-n-ator! Smushing aluminum has never felt so satisfying.
