“Ooo remembers toastracks” has been my most successful toot of the day, and therefore you can expect a series of future toots on the theme of Ooo remembers eg:

- Teasmades
- Egg slicers
- Sardine pumps

@Nickiquote

Hmm… I used our egg slicer just last week. That was the new one. Our previous needed replacing…

Did your family have a sardine pump when you were a kid?

@Nickiquote "My father's idea of discipline revolved around the sardine pump which he said lived in his shed."

@Nickiquote wait you had "what the fuck is a toast rack" as an option but you didn't think you'd need "what the FUCK is a sardine pump"?

@Nickiquote oh god i can't even tell if it's a joke

@Nickiquote I now have "Pump up sardines, pump 'em up / While your feet are stompin' / And sardines are pumpin' / Look ahead sardines are jumpin" irrevocably seared into my brain :/

@Nickiquote
I do not recall the pumping of sardines in any way, shape or form

@AndorianSoup @Nickiquote ...your honour.

@Nickiquote You pumped your own sardines? How quaint!

@Nickiquote option 5. what the heck is a sardine pump.

@tootbrute @Nickiquote A toot, a combination of words, that outside here would seem utterly absurd, and yet in here it’s just business as usual. I feel right at home 😁

@Nickiquote "As a child, I never thought we would be so rich as to own a car, nor so poor as to not have a sardine pump."

@Nickiquote

We had a sardine pump, and thought it was great until the first power outage. That's when we got out our old sardine press, and never used the sardine pump again.

To be honest, the sardine press is so much more kid-friendly, and if they takes turns, just as effective.

And so much easier to clean!

Nick? I'm scared.

"sardine pump"

@Nickiquote

Though I have been thinking about what a milking machine for aphids would look like. You know like the ones they use on cows, but for honeydew and designed to be operated by ants...

@mothninja @Nickiquote

Pump them up, a little more, get the sardines goin' on the dance floor. See, 'cause that's where the sardines at, and you'll find out if you do that.

@TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote No no no no no no no no no no no no there's no sardines
