With many people believing that the event was staged and only made to be a joke and get internet status, some were left wondering what other appliances would have characteristics that fitted an ideal partner in life.

Romantic Photoshoot With Air Fryer

The incident with the man and the rice cooker is only one of several bizarre instances of people being "close" with their appliances. In February, a woman shared photos of her romantic event with her air fryer.

The Tulsa, Oklahoma resident and photographer, Adrian Birdsong, became viral after taking beautiful pictures of a romantic photoshoot with her appliance. Since being posted on Jan. 24, the woman's Facebook post has been shared more than 17,000 times.

In the images, Birdsong could be seen posing alongside her air fryer with some captions, "Sometimes you fall in love so quickly, you can't stop it. This isn't just an air fryer, it's the love of my life." She said that she was captivated by the air fryer, quoting one of Taylor Swift's songs.

The person who took Birdsong's photographs with her air fryer was her husband, Kyle Hutchinson. Birdsong said she really did fall in love with the appliance, arguing that since she was an impatient cook, the fact that the appliance cooked so quickly was a bonus for her.

Birdsong got the idea of making a romantic photoshoot with her air fryer while she was showering. She believed it was meant to be because her husband also thought of the same idea, Today reported.
