In Brazil’s version of the Shark Tank TV show, they sometimes call for guest “sharks” to show up besides the regular hosts. Once, the founder of China in Box, Brazil’s largest Chinese fast food chain (and one of the first in general) was there.
So the participant shows up and his pitch was a device he invented for peeling garlic faster at home. It’s basically a blender motor, but with attachments to vibrate the garlic against the container rather than cut through it, so the skin peels off and the garlic is ready for usage. After the pitch, of course, they ask the hosts if they want to invest into their company.
So the Chinese food guy says “oh no, no way I’m investing into that, it’s a kitchen appliance - in ten years, nobody will have a kitchen in their homes, they’ll use delivery apps for every meal, they won’t ever need any cooking apparatus”
And honestly his comments still fill me with rage every single time.

I wouldn’t invest in that because all you need to do is smash a clove with a knife and the skin falls right off, but I see what you mean.
If you need to peel a bunch of cloves, put them in a small mason jar and shake the shit out of it.
Yeah but your hands do end up smelling like garlic for a couple days
When seasoning meat, remember that you are also meat and therefore susceptible to be seasoned.
That’s a feature.
Wash them but use salt instead of soap. The smell will go away. It works for onions and probably a bunch of other stuff too.
Are you sure you’re trying to help and are not a cannibal?
Rubbing against stainless steel gets rid of the smell also works
That’s a bonus!
I mean, that dude makes money each time you dont cook. Of course he’s going to pitch “kitchenless” homes as a real thing.
Its abject bullshit, but also a clear cut case of “follow the money” to understand stupid reasoning.
