Default Oxo scam

I was jes talking to the mgr of our local kitchen wares store. Small,
but they do the best they can. They also make it a point to hire the
mentally challenged, a noble attitude and one I applaud them for.
Anyway, had a great conversation and made a few suggestions about
their wares. One, which the mgr tentatively agreed with, was to lose
their extensive Oxo line and get some quality implements.

I can see the advantages of Oxo, on the one hand (no pun intended),
there being such a large geezer community, hereabouts. BUT, on the
other end of that blessedly large handle is a PIECE OF JUNK!
Honestly. My mom has several Oxo implements. They're crap! The
peeler is only sharp in one direction. The pizza cutter is undersized
tin. I can buy a better one at Walmart or the local take-home-to-bake
pizza chain fer $5. Not only is Oxo-ware insanely overpriced, it's
CHEAP JUNK, pure and simple.

BTW, for you lawsuit happy lawyers out there, this is only my
OPINION!!
