Cookin’ Up Some Hot Lovin’


Local appliance maker Teco sure has an interesting microwave out these days. This is one appliance that deserves to become a bestselling cult item just because of its name. It’s called the “Flirt” and the microprint underneath it actually reads, “The Art of Pleasure”. You can purchase this gem of an appliance at Carrefour, which is where I saw it today along with a brief, “WTF is this?” moment. Who’s the marketing genious that decided to give a microwave oven an erotic name and tagline and then put a chicken inside it?

“The Art of Pleasure”, my fanny! The next time I want to eat microwaved food I don’t think I’ll call it the “art” of anything.

[...] I had blogged about what I hope is the now-famous “Flirt…the art of pleasure” microwave and now they’ve got a “Flirt…the art of pleasure” rice cooker. I really wanted to get it, but my Winnie the Pooh rice cooker still seems to work fine, despite the fact that the lid is slightly broken and the Pooh sticker fell off and you can’t even tell it is a Winnie the Pooh rice cooker anymore. Hopefully someone will have a birthday or party or say they need a rice cooker and I will have an excuse to buy and photograph it. As for the Flirt microwave, someone gave it a good review as a good-looking bargain. [...]

Maybe the radiation from the microwave somehow makes you more in the mood for love. Somebody has done a study on it, and the only side effect was death. Worth it?
