- chemicalnovae 8y agoNative speaker here and I thought the exact same thing. Was actually a little disappointed it wasn't about the kitchen appliances.
- yesenadam 8y agoYes, I thought that too hehe, Australian here. My friend uses a Thermomix in our kitchen to do everything - I can hear it now - they're absolutely a cult. :-)
- taneq 8y agoWe had a Thermomix, it died (started coming up with errors) and it was out of warranty so obviously I disassembled it. You would not believe how many cockroaches were living (and had died) inside it. Ick.
- brazzy 8y agoIn Germany, where Thermomix comes from, it's definitely a cultish thing.
- sircastor 8y agoDidn't occur to me for a second that it was anything other than kitchen mixers. Not blenders though. I was interested to see where my KitchenAid fell in the grouping.
- weego 8y agoSpoiler: way up on the indoctrinated into the cult ladder
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoFound the Kenwood fanboy ;)
- et-al 8y agoYes, but I also saw the domain and context-switched to electronic music.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoI thought this was about those Kitchen-Aids that seem to have a cult following too. Oh well, titles, words, etc.
- kabes 8y agoBamix is really the best kitchen mixer money can buy
- ian0 8y agoI thought it was about portable cement mixers. Which we call "mixers" and obviously.. rotate.
- KineticLensman 8y ago(Brit) Traditionally: 'food mixers' and 'blenders'. Food mixers (aka food processor) have connotations of a multi-purpose device with lots of different attachments, blender is more a discrete function. Since Jamie Oliver, the latter is used to 'blitz' or 'whizz' food. I also didn't get the article's meaning of 'mixer' until I actually opened it. I was wondering about cement mixers.
- santix 8y agoFor I second I thought it could be about faucets.
- 64738 8y agoNative speaker and I had the same confusion, but was intrigued by the idea that people felt so strongly about their kitchen mixer, and was curious about what other kinds of mixers are available (that aren't rotary). I'm weird ;)
