I am sure that you often come across things, items being manufactured and sold, that makes you wonder how civilisation ever got this far without them. I have to say it is a sort of hobby of mine, keeping an eye out for the ridiculous gadgets that really there can be no valid need for whatsoever.
How gratifying then to pull into Woolley Edge services and find on sale......
a portable pop-corn popper!
But not just a portable pop-corn popper, a portable pop corn popper with an adapter to enable it to work from the cigar lighter in your car!!!
I can only imagine the explanation to the police officer following the multi car pile up on the south bound carriageway.
Well, Officer, it was like this, I'd just plugged in the portable pop-corn popper into the cigar lighter and was topping it up with corn, when I had to brake suddenly, causing me to overfill the popper. Before I could get the lid on the corn was popping and I was very shortly covered in the stuff. Consequently I couldn't see where I was going and veered across the cariageway....
