The meat thermometer is made by Taylor, which still makes meat thermometers. They also use the same trademark on the thermometers meant for indoor use.

While these are clever, I don’t see how they could make home tasks a pleasure. Who looks forward to dusting their blinds, no matter how easy it is?

It also strains plausibility to consider sitting on a hassock a home task… “Jane, dear, finish your chores! Somebody has to lounge on that pillow, and I’m busy looking at the meat thermometer!”

The basket’s arrangement really only works if the baby’s awake and feels like sitting up and sitting reasonably still. If he’s starting to stand up, he’ll have that basket on its side and be under the clothing racks in no time. If he falls asleep, I can only hope he doesn’t slump forward.

A lot of these things (the mop, the venetian blinds cleaner, the book holder, and the canning jar closer) are still made to this day.

That baby basket looks like it could strangle the child.
