This is apparently a 'fast fail' as the Website (onionbloom.com) is no longer live. That makes sense given the "bloomin' onion" was a novelty and novelty wears off. Today, it's tortilla bowls and bacon bowls that have captured the popular imagination.
An interesting historical note: In 1998, no less than three onion blossom gadgets appeared on the JW Annual: Telebrands' Great American Steakhouse Onion Machine, the Sproutin' Onion (marketer unknown) and Ontel's Onion Gourmet.
