PrintIn Videos: Kitchen of the Future, 1999 A.D. (1967)
The kitchens of 1999 didn't turn out as advanced as 1967 would've hoped. All a busy mother had to do was punch a dinner choice into the computer and a few seconds later a pre-portioned frozen meal would pop out of a conveyor belted microwave oven fully cooked. (Asshole husband and ODC son hopefully not included.)

I love this stuff!! Reminds me of the GE Carousel of Progress from Disneyland 40 years ago! With the exception of one or two outlandish items you'd be surprised to find out how much of it has come true. Ovens that cook with radio waves, packaged food that needs no refrigeration and ovens that clean themselves were just a few predictions.

Phew. That music was so strange that I thought an alien from outer space was going to pop out from somewhere any minute.
For a while I thought it was going to pop out of that stupid flower she kept carrying around.

I especially enjoyed the last comment, regarding how the frozen food would be placed in the microwave oven for "a few seconds of de-thawing or warming." "De-thawing," I gather, is the opposite of "de-freezing."

Reminds me of the old cartoon shorts that showed the "house of the future" I loved those things. :-)

I'm trying to figure out why there's a range top, and all those pots/pans hanging on the wall. Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Incredible how they got almost everything right, except of course we now call luncheon "greebaltrinx"...
