In response to nano-crockpots that don’t get used. Pre-covid for our office chili cook off I tried to increase demand for my chili by reducing its supply, thus making it more desirable. It did not work, I did not win, and people kept asking why I used such a small cooker…

You’re missing the most important piece of the puzzle when it comes to this kind of gambit.
Marketing.
Did you try to hire hip looking young people to camp out in line in front of your nano crockpot to drum up buzz and FOMO?
Some people just don’t appreciate genius ideas
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day
Well [this chart might help](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fforexswingprofit.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F12%2Fsupply_demand_curve.jpg&f=1&nofb=1) – decreasing supply might increase the price, but actually decreases demand. Whether that’s a profitable tradeoff is situational.
Before covid we used to do chili cook-offs in our office. I’d always lose with only a handful of votes, but interestingly enough my crock would also be licked clean. I’m like it obviously couldn’t have been *that* bad…
That’s adorable. Don’t worry about not winning, genius is rarely appreciated in it’s lifetime!
Your yield curves must have been off. Did you consult the proper actuarial tables?
Lol this is the best thing I’ve seen
Another big benefit is power consumption on the small ones. My cute midget slowcooker 1.7L barely fits 2 portions, but uses only 93-110w according to specs. While my sis has a 5L one which uses 140-160watts.
Those small ones are also great for warming up meals, as i don’t have a microwave. 1 hour on low works like a charm for stew and things like that.
If you put a handfull of carolina reapers in there one bite is all they will need.
You adorable nerd 🙂 love it
Quality post in a sea of shit. +1
Omg i need one of the to heat my food cutely.
This really only works if there is an overall supply shortage of chili. I’m sure your other co-workers brought enough to fill everyone’s demand. Now your “company” looks like it can’t keep up and “customers” aren’t going to want to deal with that.
There are plenty of recipes for hot dips that are perfect for the crockpot. Look for them on Pinterest.
I received one of those little dudes as an extra when I bought my big boy years ago. I’ve always used it to heat up refried beans, cheese and some salsa as a dip. I’ve never ever considered actually letting it cook something for hours. It gets pretty damn hot. I always thought it’s purpose was to warm things. Wow. Sort of blown away. Now sure that size would be worth the effort, but still cool.
The formula is working on me. You are giving us no supply, only a story and a pic, so now i WANT your chili.
I have a nano-crockpot. It only gets used for one thing… Queso dip. Works great, since I’d never need to use the large crockpot for that sort of thing.
If only Kevin from The Office had as much game as you

I absolutely love the hubris here. I’d make you the winner just for that.
I love these great for keeping gravy warm.
I think that’s hilarious!
At the confluence of Helvetica, an economics joke, and chili, I would have eaten that and voted for it for the effort.
The trick is to undercook the onions. Everybody is going to get to know each other in the pot.
Kevin could have really used a pot this size. He wouldn’t have dropped it on the carpet of Dunder Mifflin. Oh, and here is the derivative and one implicit derivative for you:
d/dq(q/f) = 1/f
(df(P, q))/(dP) = -f^2/q
Unless it tasted like shoe polish, you would have gotten my vote!
It’s the lid halfway up for the 🥇 win
You win for me.
Please can you provide a link to the nano-crockpot?
This made my day🤣!
