It's because Mom always told us to leave the butt to keep the loaf freshener. She just didn't want the butt on her sandwich lol

Reply to comment by Xyspade in BIFL while secondhand buying: what brands do you see most often? by emmybby
Anyone can make a really good product. But anyone can also make complete crap. I've had USA made tools fall apart in my hand and Chinese made tools survive the Gauntlet that is my job. A good example of a USA made tool being trashy is the Matco eighty8 tool line. I one one of each drive for the series and all 4 have been back to the tool truck for a rebuild within 6 months. On the flip side I've had my Chinese built Proto 45 tooth ratchet for over 5 years without incident. I know that tooth counts matter and that it may be an unfair comparison but that's just my 2 cents on the matter i suppose.

Reply to Guess which can opener still works? L to R- 30 + years old, 3 years old, 6 months old … planned obsolescence or crappy design (of course they increase in price tag from L-R) by Torvabrocoli
I just use my electric Campbell's can opener from the 70s. I replaced the motor with an upgrade a few years back and replaced the blade but other than that 0 maintenance.

Reply to LPT: if your car is making a random noise... Clean the garbage out the inside first! by mrskasady07
I once had 3 of my coworkers on a pickup truck trying to figure out what a loud clunking sound was. The owner said that the truck had been to another shop and they said he needed a transmission replacement. Well my boss tells me to take out the trans to check it but i decided to give it a test drive first. Needless to say there was a 4' iron pipe hitting a couple of paint cans in the back seat.

Reply to comment by ThePerfectEmployee in LPT: Anytime that you are going to ask someone over to your place (either a date or a friend), always clean your place before asking. If they say yes, it’s already clean. If they say no, at least you can feel happy about a clean space. by Snow5Penguin
I don't dust and might leave dishes from the night before but that's the extent of it.
