My Mom had this when I was growing up. But it wasn't called the Chop O Matic. It was called the Veg-A-Matic. It was great. No idea why you still can't buy this anymore. It was a wonderful invention.

    I remember going to a rental place on Ellice and Carlton (Global rental? I think) and they had the best collection of asian action films and I picked up "Street Fighter" thinking it had something to with the game... but was pleasantly surprised with Sonny Chiba- I rememebr watching the entire collection in a weekend...

    RIP SOnny:
