Sometimes you get into something and you find yourself wondering "Huh. Am I getting too into this?"

Then the orchestra kicks in and you realise "No. This is completely normal." And euphoria takes over. Your body is light. You feel every emotion all at once. You are alive for the first time.

 

[Porcile]

Are people cheering the promo video of a fucking blender?

Modern consumerism is so fucking stupid.

 

[HRK69]

At this point, I don’t trust any of these videos where the audio can be easily manipulated

And honestly, I expect it to be manipulated, given how many gullible people are on TikTok and other social media

It's embarrassing

From your reaction. One may say you are being unreasonable.

I was like what is this product throughout the whole video

The reaction does not go with the product (a blender)

Also, those people in the audience - who fills an auditorium for a blender launch ? (employees ?)

Yes, that is the premise of the thread.

Yeah, the Thermomix/Bimby is not a blender. You guys obviously don't know anyone who owns one. It's ALSO a blender, but more than anything else is a cult.

I'll probably convert and buy one in the future.

 

[Hudo]

I know a couple of (older) women who absolutely go crazy for these Thermomix things.

 

[StueyDuck]

turns out marketing and manipulating people is super easy.

Barely an inconvenience?

 

[AJUMP23]

Was that a blender, and are they at a convention for a blender? We are doomed....

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I wish I could still muster such enthusiasm for anything.

Also, what the hell does “phygital” mean??

 

[Stitch]

It's a Multicooker that can do all kinds of things

Thermomix - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The functions can be accessed simultaneously to carry out steaming, emulsifying, blending, precise heating, mixing, milling, whipping, kneading, chopping, weighing, grinding and stirring.

It also costs 1.549 Euro...

 

[AJUMP23]

If you were inspired here is your pre-order page. This is the Apple marketing of blenders.

A fucking food processor

[Fbh]

Yeah upper middle class and wealthy middle aged women go crazy for these Thermomix things around these parts.
That event is like the Ps6 announcement for them.

 

[Dacvak]

Can I fit my head into it? Cause that’s what I wanna do after watching that whole thing.

 

[GymWolf]

Mix of physical and digital?

And a yearly subscription. It doesn’t become a brick without it, but defeats the purpose.

a cult

A cult for a food processor?



Is this a chefs convention or are we talking regular domestic users.

I get brand loyalty but..

[Durien]

Their Marketing Team must have come from porn because they just blew their entire load on 1 video.

People really love that shit. Domestic users. You basically put ingredients in it and it does more or less everything.

 

[yet_another_alt]

Now I know how people that laugh at videogames feel.

 

[Trunx81]

I know a few people (women) who go crazy over TM. Because they make a living by selling it. So you can assume that the crowd is full with vendors. They all have dollar signs in their eyes.

My wife never saw the appeal, but she’s a traditional chef and knows how to cook. I must admit, though, that TM makes great Margharitas

This really silent ?? cuz my ninja blender about to make me go deaf I use it so much

I have to put on headphones to use my Ninja Blender.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

i love shit like this. i mean everyone has their own thing. i'm excited about computers and tech but when i discover people with a passion for "weird" things it's so interesting. i often wonder if there are niche communities out there where they all talk about the latest news for things like microwaves, kettles, curtlery, bins, paper, curtains/blinds, etc lmao.

What do you blend?

 

[Liljagare]

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

The yearly sub to access the recipes, including ones that you've input yourself, pushes me firmly towards a tokit rather than this.

 

[MaestroMike]

What do you blend?

Chocolate smoothies with greens and lot of lemon some with higher fat with more nuts and seeds and egg yolks/dark chocolate and vitamin D tablets

 

[MaestroMike]

I have to put on headphones to use my Ninja Blender.

I just leave the kitchen and blend until it times out after like 45 seconds. good idea to get some headphones or ear plugs too
