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.”

        Its really bad when you’re in your living room talking about PSUs, then all of a sudden the only adds you see online are about PSU’s.

          Yeah, I’d be all like, “wtf happened to my ad blocker!?”

          Speaking of which, if you talk about ad blockers in your living room, do you get ads for those?

          Why have you not violently disposed of your “smart” electronics that apparently permanently monitor you for amazons profit?

      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…

      Regifting it because you don’t need a second one? Or because the one gifted to you is of lower quality?

        Both. I bought one from this brand before and it rusted after the first use. I’ll admit I may not have washed it properly, but that’s not something I expect from my kitchenware. And I don’t see a use for a second garlic press, but I’m open to hearing one
