    Unclear on the Concept?

    Somethings make you wonder:

    Oh Realy?.jpg

    Did they use the wrong glue for the label?

    I bought a used mower with a Briggs and Staratton engine. The other day I added gasoline and noticed the inside of the cap was labelled replace when empty?

    Sadly, the retail experience has made it necessary to make some labels difficult to remove because of theft and merchantability considerations, so yea...they had to use an adhesive that could actually stick to that kind of surface...

    Does the manufacturer understand the concept of "non-stick"? And how do they get the teflon to stick to the pan?

    It turns out that it took them years to work out the formulation of the non-removable label for those nonstick pans. They make those labels out of scrambled eggs and pork chops - because food is the only thing that sticks to cheap nonstick pans.... .

    On the dog chewing deterant... The only thing that worked for us was concentrated bitter apple dog deterrant... Everything else was the equivalent of trying to get a 5 year old to reject french fries by putting ketchup on them - including the pepper spray stuff....

    Goo Gone may be the solution.

    Boiling water on the stove may too.

    Heh, that's not Jim's actual pan. The pic has been floating around the internet for a few years as a funny example of irony.
