Only two of these are technically retail based, but they were too good not to share. Dr. King would not be happy. People with OCD better drive by this one quickly. Like everything else in America. I think I bought one of these once. Non-Fry Stick Pan. The look in his eyes screams GUILTY! Read More…

How Not To Carry A Shopping Basket
