You beat me to it. What the hell is “something cool in the kitchen?” I have the raddest old cast iron pan. Is this vintage awesomeness? And let me brag about my water distiller… You’re not cool if you don’t have a water distiller! On Wednesdays, my friends and I distill water, wearing pink.[/quote]

Oh, aren't you edgy? Next, you'll learn how to properly quote.[/quote]

But you got the point didn't you? [/quote]

I'm wondering if anyone is ever going to explain what it would be "cool" to have in the kitchen, because I genuinely have no idea.[/quote]

Really? Are you new to Google? I see you managed to navigate a message board.[/quote]

Google will tell me things I can buy for my kitchen, but that doesn't really answer the question. What are you buying for your kitchen that you bought to fit in with the cool kids? [/quote]

I’m not sure why you’re struggling so much with this. The ‘fit in’ comment was directly tied to a question about clothes. The rest were tied to fads.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you're struggling to give a simple answer. What did you buy for your kitchen because it was a fad? I couldn't answer this question, but you seem to think it's obvious, so give us your answer.[/quote]

I bought my daughter a waffle maker that makes heart-shaped waffles and a homemade donut maker for Christmas. She made it all with friends after a sleepover, and they thought it was all fun and cool. So, go ahead and pick that apart to continue your ironic bullying campaign on this minor point.[/quote]

That sounds like something you bought because you thought it was fun to own and use. How is that like buying a cup because otherwise you'll be bullied?[/quote]

Why is every fad, trend, etc. being conflated with bullying? We all take part in it the phenomenon. [b]OP's kid wants a water bottle that's currently trendy.[/b] Part of that (but not all) involves a bullying element.[/quote]

OP's kid wants a water bottle that's not "trashy" and for which she will not be "judged." That's ultimately about status and the threat of bullying. "I saw this and it looks (fun/cute/whatever)" is a different thing. I'm saying they're different, don't conflate them. When an adult buys a fun kitchen toy, they're not engaging in a "trend" in the way OP's daughter wants to.[/quote]
