Wall-E Waterheater

My dad won a prize at his company Christmas party. It was a coffee/tea maker and water heater. Since, my parents don't drink tea or coffee and were not interested in an electric water heater, (that's what microwaves are for) they gave it to me. Since I don't drink tea or coffee and I have an electric water heater (microwave) I tried to take it back for cash. My first stop was Walmart because they take back anything, except for electric water heaters. My next stop, was Shopko, they would have taken it back except they had already clearanced the item for $7. Since they were sold out, they no longer carry the item. Which means I now own a $7 electric water heater with a strange resemblance to characters from the movie Wall-E.
We have affectionately named it Wall-E Waterheater. (It's normal to name inanimate objects, right?)
Now, Wall-E Waterheater heats water very quickly but, it only heats up one cup of water at
a time, and with four-n-more kids waiting for their hot chocolate, that is a problem. The good thing is that since I only use it to heat water I don't have to wash the thing. Yeah! I would recommend you buy one, but you can't anymore and even if you could, it would only set you back $7. Therefore, I'll share mine. If you are ever in need of some hot chocolate come on over and I'll introduce to our good friend Wall-E.

Some people have all the luck. I am sure there is someone somewhere who would pay dearly for that piece of work. Congratulations!!!!

That's cool. My kids were all exited when the seen the pictures until I read that it only heated one cup of water at a time. They decided it wasn't that exciting they can just use the microwave. I now a blog because of reading yours and Arlynda's. So come check it out. Nikki
