The sale runs between 12pm-1pm so set your alarms.
My PayPal charge is still sitting as pending and still no confirmation email.
Pretty sure I'm doomed to be cut loose :(
I have to eat my words, received the order confirmation.

As a digression, wasn't a "very similar" hot sandwich maker invented a long long time before? Like the ones you put on top of a gas burner/stove. Not electric, of course.
Am I wrong? Is my recollection incorrect?
Gosh!!! Google says:
The Australian name “jaffle” for a toastie is thanks to a Bondi doctor from the Little Bay Hospital. Dr Earnest Smithers patented his jaffle iron in 1949 and – according to the Australian Food Timeline website – within a year, the likes of Edgell's were advertising canned spag bol as a “new line for the jaffle iron”
