    It is a shame that a design that has been in use for thousands of years is now only associated with something that lasted a handful of years.

    @scribble: “How soon they forget, or in the case of public school graduates, never knew.”

    Enh, I went to public school, and I remember having to read The Diary of Anne Frank. Good book, but it ended kind of abruptly.

    (I keed, I keed.)

    You know why they call them pot holders?

    Because roach clip was already taken.

    I can imagine the Anthony Sullivan commercial for these!
    New – From the ovens of Auschwitz bakery…
    Because Jews instill meaning into their baked goods.
    These new Nazi inspired pot holders are great for pulling out large cookie sheets of..kichel, sour cream raisin cookies, roly polys, poppy seed cookies and lebkuchen.

    But it would help if they changed up the color palette a bit. Seriously…red, black and white?

    And I will not assign symbolic meaning to the six-pointed snowflakes, other than to note that they are not yellow.

    Thanks Kramer, I’m glad I’m not the only one that it took awhile to see the pattern.
