Here's a page about an upcoming documentary about the Raymond Loewy-designed Leisurama prototype home from the '50s.
Nikita [Khrushchev] pointed at the kitchen in an American display behind him, and
made it clear to Nixon that he was not going to be made a fool of;
"Don't you have a machine that puts food into the mouth and pushes it
down? Many things you've shown us are interesting but they are not
needed in life... We have a saying, if you have bedbugs you have to
catch one and pour boiling water into the ear."
Nixon responded by saying, "What we want to do is make easier the life
of our housewives."
