I still have my Veg-O-Matic (and I use it), but mine's older than the one in the picture. Mine doesn't have the helpful label "UP" on it. You have to figure it out yourself by using brain cells. ;) Also, not just the cutting blades, but the rings on mine are metal, too.

I wish we still had ours, the new ones are junk

I didn't know, so I looked it up. Every single site I found said it indicates a gang area, or a place to buy drugs, or they're the shoes of someone a gang killed, displayed as a warning to other gangs. Is there another reason?

Gah, the smell of the ROLLERS heating up. Like burning plastic! Which I guess it was... ;) Mine have (notice the present tense) red dots on the top, which turn black when they're ready, so maybe it's the red dots I'm smelling burning... (I don't use them anymore, but I don't want to throw them away.)

I never did because I stayed in the office, but everyone who went out for the day had one. And then had to find a pay phone to call in when we paged, but it was OK because there was a pay phone on just about every corner. :)
