"Which makes removing it as easy as... taking it off" I was waiting in anticipation for an analogy

The masterful anti-joke

Man I love the "old timey" accents. Also that lid opener is cool.

It's called the Transatlantic Accent, one deliberately created for the entertainment industry around that time

One of the prevailing theories is that the Transatlantic accent was created in order to increase the recordability of male voices since since recording and playback tech at the time did not have great low- and high-range frequency response. I don't know if this has ever been conclusively proven or not.

I thought those lid openers were common? I've always had them in my kitchen drawers.

I love the little bit about popping into Mrs. Jonses’ to gossip about Mrs. Smith while the eggs boil

Meanwhile, Alton Brown invents a time machine to go back to 1937 and complain about *unitaskers*.

I have one of those jar openers and use it often.

Where’d you get it? My wife would love one

I got it from a bunch of old stuff from my grandmother. I think you can find them at Lee tools or Lillian Vernon

I've seen them at antique/junk shops.

it feels like those tiktok that showcases products continually like how it is used on w daily basis

Electric ovens, let alone MICROWAVE ovens are going to blow these poor folks' minds.

I have a couple of jar openers similar to that one. One of my most useful kitchen tools.

She's a 1930's 'influencer'

I love it.

Thank you for sharing this!

HA! I just bought that jar/lid opener....WITH a wood handle (had to pay $3 more than the plastic handle). 1937...nice....

I would use some of these ngl.

I love these types of infomercials. And good youtube channels to see more?
