Totally weird! I had to look them all up and I found pictures of them all on Amazon. The egg moustache makers also make egg shapers in gun and skull shapes. And a three wise men flask (Jim, Jack, and Johhnie). Totally tasteless. But I had a good laugh!

Oh yes,

I need to get a Grilled Cheesus,

to go with my

Cheesus Chrust T-shirt :-)

My all-time favorite wacky foodie gift is the weiner man. I learned about it here, from Jessy I think.

Pam (and Jessy) - that is histerical. The perfect kitchen tool for every bachelorette party?

And my guess is that the person that invented weiner man enjoys their work more than I do my job. :-)

Pam/Jessy - LOL, I've been thinking about how to re-work this classic into a sausage warmer...

Stumpy - this might be one of those posts you meant to put on that other forum. (wink)

Where is our dedicated forum police wizardnm when we need her to remind us that this is a cooking forum?

Teresa in Minnesota who is wondering where the decorum of the forum has gone during this holiday season. LOL

Sorry Teresa, I didn't know there was a rule that said sexual references are only "histerical" in the context of the male anatomy. Feel free to ask your buddy to delete it.

Valid point FOAS. Having said that I was a bit taken aback....

I looked for a Grilled Cheesus to buy, couldn't find one. Where can you actually buy one of those? It looks like it hasn't been made yet.

Or must I be content with a Hello Kitty Toaster?

FOAS, that is one weird looking item. Ahem.

Just to prove that Roast My Weenie does not discriminate based on gender, here's another item from their site

FOAS - For the record I did not ask for your "tingling" comment to be removed. I thought it was one of your more humerous posts showing a side of you I had not seen before. A forum member contacted me and said they thought it was disgusting. I replied that I did not want it removed. Afterall - it did not say anything about me and I did get a good chuckle out of it.

I'm getting ready to make a pot roast in a T&T kitchen appliance - the Nesco 6 Qt. roaster. Prior to purchasing it I asked Annie how she liked hers. Her reply was that it took a learning curve to get things right. This will be my third roast and I'm hoping this one turns out better than the last two! :-)

Teresa

Teresa- Glad you saw the humor in that! Did that forum member contact you to tell you that you were disgusting to resurrect that tingling comment in your black garlic thread? Just wondering...

While we're at it and for the record, for anyone that agrees with you that all caps and multiple exclamation points are nothing but harsh, I apologize profusely to anyone whom I've had the gall to wish, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"

Anyway, if you apologize for opening this thread with a subtle yet obvious dig at Alexa and then following up with another unsolicited dig at Nancy, then I'll apologize for posting ancient Scottish art.

dedtired, thank you for that link...I just sent for the rootin tootin cowboy wiener roaster and the marshmallow woman for a party I attend every Christmas, where the more juvenile the gift, the better. It's a white elephant affair with anonymous gifts. I am friends only with the hostess and she has had a party for her college friends (who all in their early 50's now) every year where most everyone gets a little tipsy and the gift giving becomes uproariously funny. Not really my thing, but I love watching how tickled some of them get. The biggest hit ever was a fa*ting bank and you would have thought they were all in 6th grade. So I'll take the cowboy this year and the marsha mello next year. They are going to LOVE them both.

Glad this thread is lightening up, the title is "wacky gifts"!

Oly -- I think they will be a hit! Sounds like a good party. I may get weener man for my nephew.

When the juicy discussion is not blending well, this wickedly wacky appliance might help.

I really like some of the fun things that Boston Warehouse has. I've gotten some (for kicks) from Amazon.

oly, you remind me. The number one white elephant gift at the family party on his side? A Homer Simpson Bottle Opener that said, "Mmm. Beer"

I just had to report back that I took a "Roast My Weenie" rootin' tootin' cowboy to my previously mentioned party. I wrapped him and then did a little extra package with a frozen wiener (so it would still be "fresh" by the time the gifts were being opened). Well, it was the hit of the party, except the woman who ended up with it happened to be a vegetarian. The wiener was quickly replace by a carrot, which looked equally as ridiculous as the wiener...so now she has a carrot griller.

I also bought Marsha Mellow, which I thought I would take to next year's party. But my dear friend ended up having a 2nd mastectomy on December 21, so I'm giving her Marsha and a bag of marshmallows for those times she's feeling a need for some humor. Thanks again for this thread. Great fun!

Great post.

Many things these days are rather tame compared to what was available in days-gone-by. Two of the most memorable foodie items from my childhood were the wee-wee-Willie whiskey decanter who when you pulled down his shorts would fill a glass with a perfect shot of whiskey and a confectioners cow that got heated in the oven and filled with chocolate. It looked innocent enough like a decoration of an old woman sitting on a stool milking a cow but when you pushed it's head down its tail lifted up and the woman fell off the stool kicking the pail to the backside of the cow who would then poop out a big glob of chocolate into the pail. It was for dipping cherries and strawberries. Tried googling looking for both to no avail.

I am not sure this gift is wacky, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.

A friend gave me a chef coat and hat.

I have to recommend you all get a set.

It was hilarious. After I rushed to get the dishes cooked, I slipped into the coat and put on the hat to serve.

Everyone pulled out their cell phone camera to take a picture with me. LOL!

It made the dinner much more interesting.
