It was a made-up word, a combination of "electro" and "execution", used to hype the dangers of AC power. Most of the time when people get "electrocuted", they aren't being "executed".

It tasted ok, but the ends were still cold. Bleh. A friend of mine made one of these during tech (we built sets for school plays). It tasted ok, but the ends were still cold. Bleh.

Easy on the tube steak buddy, I almost fell out of my chair! And you're right. I had several of these when I was young, and still have my Tatos' (Italian grandfather) version from, I think, but am not sure, the 30s. This one screws into a light socket as a lot of electrical outlets of the time were not yet standardized. Thanks Miss Celly, yer a babe BTW, and a half hearted thanks to Sid for helping the both of us tell how old we be gettin. :P heheheheh Sid!

Man, I love tube-steaks! You gotta char the hell out of them on the grill though. You used to be able to buy commercial gizmos which cooked the hotdogs using the same electrocution principle.
