NuWave Oven


So the other night I was falling asleep with the t.v. on as I often do. The wife came over to wake me up and we both caught a glimpse of the ultimate new informercial. It is for the NuWave Oven.

This thing is awesome. You just throw in your meat and veggies and it cooks them. It looks like a pie display case in a diner but it has a timer. We watched about 10 minutes of the informercial and were hooked. What are great idea. But I wanted to know more.

I looked it up online and got the e-mail address for customer service. A week went by and I still did not get a reply. I then called the 1800 number provided and the machine said I was the 24th customer waiting. I then hung up and wrote a follow up e-mail. Here is the actual e-mail:

Hi,

I wrote to you a couple of days ago and did not get a response. I also tried to call today, but it said I was the 24th customer and I couldn't stay on the line for hours.
I want to know if you have some sort of add-on plug to the machine that can connect to my car's cigarette lighter or something. I have a long trip down to Boca Raton coming up and I'd like to make a London Broil and some other foods while I drive down. Do you sell any car kits with it?

Sincerely,
Jebediah

I finally got a response today:

Good morning,

We do not have a kit where you can plug it in to the car.

Thank you

Sincerely,

Cassandra

There are two points to today's blog. The first one is that persistance pays off. The second is that if you want to cook a london broil while driving, you're fucked for now.
