Old School is Hott

A cylindrical object made of stainless steel, painted red with a step-to-open foot pedal resides in the corner. It is used several times daily and can be heard throughout the room with its “bwong”-like sound as someone releases the foot pedal. It stands at about three feet high and gives off the aroma of bananas and day-old chicken. To taste it, would be like licking the bottom of your own shoe after stepping on your own banana peel you threw down at the Tyson chicken slaughterhouse. Mm.
Its brothers are found everywhere, in the home, in the office, in the car, on the streets, in public places, in restrooms and a big huge mother is found on one side of nearly every town.
Its distant cousins include those on your Macbook or the one Windows likes to call the “recycling bin.”
It gained intense popularity during its prime television appearances on a hit children’s show, as it was home to the popular character Oscar the Grouch.
Its only rival… the trash compactor.
This household appliance does what the trash can does, only in a much cooler fashion. The jealousy rages within my little stainless steel trash eating baby.
The trash compactor is known for its sleek designs and convenience of being installed under a kitchen counter. It turns trash to compact trash, creating more space and holds more than the "traditional" kitchen trash cans. The competition is fierce, which is why my red, sleek, stainless steel trash can oozes such sex appeal.
