When too many OOOOLOOO brand toasters start fires, they just close their Amazon profile and create a new one selling FOLGARP brand toasters.

You can't have quite that level of untouchability as a US manufacturer, so you have to do it right.

FOLGARP is the best. Three out of four of the couples I gifted those toasters are now deceased and will never demand a gift from me ever again. The fire investigators just call it an “act of god.”

Unfortunately the fourth only burned their house down and now we have to tolerate an insufferable GoFundMe campaign because their CA fire insurance only covers gender reveal parties. Bezos ruins everything.

I went hunting on DanHulton.com for some more gold. I was fascinated by the "I Paid The Most" site, and was disappointed it wasn't a real thing (anymore).

@DanHulton - tell us all the tale.

Not sure what you mean by not a real thing anymore - it's still up at https://ipaidthemost.com/

Do I have a broken link somewhere?
