For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    I mentioned to a family member how much I like my garlic press. I then received a garlic press for Christmas and will certainly be regifting it.

      Is your family member Google Ad Sense?

      “I see you spent a week researching PSUs for your computer and I see that you finally bought one. Would you like to buy a PSU? because even though we know you bought one we’ll be showing you nothing but ads for PSUs for the foreseeable future.”

      What kind do you have?

      I have an ancient one, probably my great grandmothers, and the garlic just gets smashed into the square-but-actually-round holes and it’s impossible to get most of it out.

      Mostly it makes smashed garlic, which I can do with a knife much more easily…

        I got an Oxo Good Grips one for my Christmas this year and I think it’s the last press I’ll ever need

          Pampered Chef also makes a very nice one. Usually pampered chef is terribly overpriced but they do have a few high quality gems in the catalog.

            Yeah I saw those but they were stupidly overpriced like every they do . The Oxo ones were about €30, amazing price for a BIFL item
