The Strangest Collaboration Valve has ever done (or any video game ever) has to be Team Fortress 2 x Chef Steps to promote their Joule Sous Vide device.

Gabe Newell was a top backer in ChefSteps's Kickstarter campaign. He even featured in this ad for them. (No I did not add the Team Fortress 2 music at the end, that was really in the advertisement)

To help them more in them more in the advertising department, Valve decided to make an in game promotion for the Joule inside of Team Fortress 2.

This came in the form of the Boiling Point taunt, an untradable genuine taunt featuring the Joule Sous Vide device. This would be the second (and probably last) genuine taunt after the Shred Alert.

The sous vide costs 249.95$ but the promotion ended back in Summer of 2020 and it doesn't seem likely for it to ever come back.

This makes it the rarest taunt in the game with less than 450 of them in existence. Due to it's untradable nature, odds are you will likely never get this taunt.

and finally, I own one (I like collecting rare untradable items).
So, what do you think of the promotion? Do you think it was cool? Dumb? Funny? All of the above?
