Did you know…?
Bulgarians have deemed the chushkopek the most important invention of the twentieth century.
In January 2010, Bulgarian National Television began an online campaign to find out what Bulgarians thought was the most revolutionary household device of the twentieth century. The results were amazing. A staggering 25 percent voted the “chushkopek” as the winner. What is a chushkopek? It is a cylindrical appliance lined with a heater, and is used to roast 1 to 7 roast peppers. This nifty device beat out such twentieth-century advances as electricity (16 percent), television and radio (13 percent), and even cellphones (10 percent).
Not surprisingly, the chushkopek was patented in Bulgaria.
