There is always people who will give it a try wondering what would happen. It is like they'll put a hair drier into the bath to see if it is true in the movies you'll get electrocuted. We have a FAFO culture these days.
'L'appel du vide': The call of the void
The clientele at Kmart aren’t exactly rocket scientists.
I hate to break it to you, be neither are the non-clientele.
Reminds me of the Colgate electric toothbrushes (still) sold at NQR. The buttons on them are not sealed and so water inevitably gets inside the electronics, which causes random zombie self-activations in the middle of the night, often resulting with it vibrating itself into falling off the bathroom vanity. Tossed it a few days later as it's un-fixable.
I can see why they recalled it, but I wonder who the genius was who decided to immerse an electric blender in water (particularly while their hands were near the blades).
