Who among us hasn’t “hastened the demise” of a few well-chosen relatives by “killing them”? We can’t all be Jesus, you know. ---

Huzzah! Justice has prevailed. Enough people have openly complained about the utensils and they have been removed. 🙂 As I understand it, it was impossible to eat things as simple as pasta and soup with them. And although it may be pointless now, I was able to obtain the following > [@](#): > > Mass temperature 210-230 C° > Mold temperature 30-60 C° > Injection pressure high > Holding pressure 50-80% from max > Cooling time short > MFR 230/5/ISO 1133 9,57 g/10 min > Material density 1,62 g/ccm I can understand all but the mass temperature and MFR 230/5/ISO 1133, what are those? Anyway, if the utensils are molded at 30-60 C°, it’s no wonder they melted at such low temperatures. ---

What the fuck is a “hamburger clam”? It’s a genetically engineered surf and turf organism! Clamburger: It’s what’s for dinner. ---

The things they store hamburgers in, they have two sides like a clam and close around like a clam. ---
