Little Gems: The thing young people are getting wrong about the 2000s aesthetic is that they aren't taking up ¼ of the counter in a tiny apartment with the largest model George Foreman grill with a full drip pan

Trying to explain to your new roommate that he doesn't need that bc pan technology has existed for thousands of years

George Foreman: "what if we put a waffle iron at a 15° angle?"

It could have been worse, you could buy, like, frozen fish fillets, frozen burgers, and buns and knock out a hot meal between college and work

... So you're saying your job before this was getting punched in the head? Oh ok!

America's most concussed inventor

"look to camera" he says, turning around towards the viewer. "It's great, big thumbs up!!" he exclaimed, holding up both of his hands exuberantly above his head.

I'd watch that show

Did you see Mike Tyson Mysteries? It'd be like that

This setup in the single worst place in the living room

Lmao, my roommate and I had two of these connected by a long desk. It took up a whole room

I know we're supposed to be nostalgic for our youth but the early 2000s were aesthetically unlivable

I do miss flip phones

I've been tempted to grab one of those new Samsung flip Zs but no headphone jack is a major turn off

Fun story: a teenage friend of mine bought his friend Hipnotiq for her birthday, which he put in a library bag, and my friend’s date who dressed exactly like this said “A BOOK?! I’d be so mad if someone bought me a book for my birthday”

Do people not use condoms anymore?

Given the skyrocketing rates of syphilis, gonorrhea (some now multi-antibiotic resistant), and chlamydia (also with new antibiotic resistance)… yeah, no, not nearly enough.

No no no, it's gonna SAVE space!

No one ever got to find out if that was true, because the particleboard on some key part always broke immediately.

They can wear all the wraparounds they want but unless their dashboard is covered in CD cases with the WRONG CD inside they're posers

I just found one of those with a somewhat rare old heavy metal CD and reunited it with its case, over a decade later. Lol

Nice! I still have one in the car but our radio has been broken for like 6 years

A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON type beat

They get it, but it's been replaced by a Ninja air fryer.

i feel personally attacked

Tbf they are much better than a George Foreman

What many didn't realize - but Scots cooking scientists discovered - is you can tilt the George Foreman grill the other way, and add fat back into dishes.

I'd probably still be using my GF Grill if it wasn't such a pain in the ass to clean between uses. Probably should have just ponied up for the version with the removable grill plates...

They make all the difference. Dishwasher safe!

We still have one, it's my husband's preferred burger/sandwich tool. It does take up space, and I failed at making waffles with it, but I'm always in support of someone else making me snacks.

I feel personally attacked (the stove in my studio apartment often did not work so we cooked everything from chicken breast to waffles on that thing)

Knock out the fat.

My mom made really good hamburgers on ours

Yeah, they work about as well as a grill pan

But then you get to clean out the nasty little plastic grease tray. Grill pan doesn't offer that.

You still have to clean it...

Yeah, but you just pour hot fat out of a grill pan. It's not 3 days old and solid

I put my grill pan ontop of my flat topped air fryer and cooked my dinner. Came back to collect it it had all melted so i poured it into a spare jar.

If you remember to

Beyond stupid that you are correct, and that I am in fact nostalgic for an appliance

They’re super useful for making toasties. If you try making one in a pan, you don’t get heating on both sides, and you have to actively attend to it. I just shove mine in and go off and do something else (washing up, making coffee, etc.) for five minutes.

You can do this with a pan and a second smaller pan

That’s just effort!

I have a stovetop waffle iron that would work a treat

History repeats 🤦🏼‍♂️ Just bought an air fryer/aircraft carrier🤦🏼‍♂️😤 Yeah it cooks gr8 but should be paying rent 🤣🤣

We’ve advanced so much. (Pulls out basket of air-fryer knocking over spice rack)

Oh man that's all I cooked on in college.

Cutting home ec. In the 90s and its consequences
