Grill by Hulk



My birthday present arrived a few days back. It came from China on the back of a mule - that actually swam across the Pacific (that’s what the guy in India said when we called to see where it was a few months back). But finally it has arrived and has begun its service - waffles only this far. Hulks a big guy and the waffles are too - one waffle's all a guy can eat.
Story goes that Hulk was offered a spokes role/name branding for a kitchen grill or one other kitchen type device a few years back when in the planning and development stages. He obviously chose whatever the other thing was because when most folks hear George Foreman they think of a little grill rather than the big smiling former heavy-weight champ. The Hulkster was offered this multirole grill a few years ago and is now available; Foreman’s people are following suit with a new and improved grill. All that to say it is definitely the novelty of the whole situation that made this such a fun gift and of course an opportunity to say something along the lines of “you better believe it brother” when the lid shuts and maybe an “ oh yeaahh” grunt upon opening the grill.
