I guess Instant Pot really fucked up by not calling their product "Instapot," huh?

I always thought that's what it was, then I googled "instapot" and found it's not actually a thing. TIL!

...I'm still gonna call it that, though.

Blame English for being unpleasant to say "nt" followed by a "p" sound.

I'm not sure I've ever been accused of such a thing before.
