Una cuchara digital llega a una cocina caótica. Su misión: traer orden exacto. El problema: sus dueños son un desastre. Historia de precision y caos culinario. 🥄⚖️ #RelatoSarcástico #CaosEnLaCocina Ah, sí. Permítanme presentarles a la protagonista de nuestro relato moderno:  La Precisión Hecha ABS . No era una cuchara cualquiera, oh no. Era una  Cuchara Medidora Digital de Cabezal Desmontable , capaz de pesar hasta 800 gloriosos gramos de... lo que fuera. Llegó a su nuevo hogar en un empaque ridículamente ergonómico, prometiendo el fin de las galletas aguadas y el café desabrido .

Regalé el " Octópodo USB ". Su relación cambió. No con ella, sino entre ella y el dolor de espalda.

El dispositivo llegó en una caja que gritaba "TECNOLOGÍA ALIENÍGENA PARA TU MIOFASCIO". Clara, escéptica, lo vio como un chisme más que acabaría en el cajón de los tristes, junto al batidor de huevos monodedo y la plancha para rizos de los 90. La primera vez que lo encendieron, fue como invocar a un demonio menor, pero útil. Un zumbido...
