And I must be getting older than I realize. Some of the things they are selling now were "new" 30 or 40 years ago. The slap chopper was out in the '60s! I had one when I got married...but it was called something else back then.

No the veg-o-matic was something else, but I'd forgotten about it! I had one of them too. You'd lift the top, put a potato or onion inside on top of a selected type of blade, and then push the top down. It could make french fries etc. It actually worked pretty well.
