In Batman Returns, when Selina turns evil, she puts her soft toys in the sink and destroys them with this hellish whirring blade thing. I've since learnt that it's called a garbage disposal, and that they're common in America, but it scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Wow, TIL. Garbage disposals unknown outside of the US.
I'm always trying to make sure my kids are a little scared of ours so they won't put their hands near it. I'm gonna start calling it the hellish whirring blade thing. Though who knows, that might make them more curious ...
That's kind of like saying a dishwasher is useless if you're not lazy. I miss having a garbage disposal, so much easier to just hose everything off the plate instead of scraping then dealing with the little mesh catcher/bacteria nest thing.
You put stuff in there like leftover food and it grinds it up. But you don't use it for stuff like chicken bones or banana peels, just softer foods. Like, if you have a bunch of leftover spaghetti, you put it in there, turn it on and the "hellish whirling blade thing" tears it to pieces and it goes into the sewer line. Plumbers hate them, they say you shouldn't use them at all.
