By the way, God says the first month of the year is in spring (ie around April). The calendar was reworked to have January (winter) as the start of the year. Those who refused to go along were labelled as April Fools.
They made it. It started out as an advertising stunt but everyone wanted them. So they produced more. They sold out in seconds, and others who didn’t get one cried. Then they ended up making more. But discounted the second run at 15%.
Yet, this time people who purchased at full price felt slighted. Therefore Eleiko in their Waffle Toaster Barbell wisdom then decided to no longer make their 18.5 lbs cup with knurled handle.

The people had spoken, the people complained, and mangement became confused and frustrated. Finally giving up.

This is the world we now live in.

Too funny and so sad.
