For what it’s worth, my father swears this was the coolest thing he had ever saw in his life up to that point. Mind you, at the time this came out, he had just arrived in Cuba, where the electricity would often go out for days at a time and where he lived in a building that had one toilet for all 100 people that lived in it. He wasn’t exactly hard to impress at this point. The first time he saw a washing machine, he felt to his knees and cried. I’m not even kidding.
