Hah, that reminds me of a story a salesman at an appliance store told me....
He was at a trade show, where some GE rep was demoing the Advantium oven. As part of the demo, he was cooking chocolate chip cookies and touting "With the Advantium oven from GE, you can cook 6 cookies in 3 minutes!"
At one point, a lady in the crowd piped up "Yeah, well with my Dacor range, I can cook 125 cookies in 12 minutes!"
The GE rep gave her a few coupons and politely asked her to move on. :)
For those not in the know, Dacor is one of your high-end "pro-sumer" (I hate that term) brands. Think Viking.
