It's actually crunch-o-matic, I was being very silly.

From the "bored at work" department, here's the _only_ google.com reference
to "crutch-o-matic":

Not a rural labour saving device as I had first thought...

Crunch-o-matic, on the other hand, was variously:
*a piece of exercise equipment
*a Snickers web game
*an Amiga file compressor
*a short-lived industrial band from the early 90s
*a description of "smother-me-with-marinara sauce calamari"

(...) It's actually crunch-o-matic, I was being very silly. (...) Could this be one of those non-US names like the 6285 Dark Shark. Maybe they should have called it Calypso Cruiser. (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
