Poor product design, maybe? Or planned obsolescence? You know, the Man don't give a fluck.

And by "the Man", I mean Burt. All those bees have gone to his belfry.

By chance, I bought the kids knockoff slinkies (the rainbow-hued plastic kind) last night. Indeed, they woke me up at 7:15 this morning to attend to a tangled-up slinky. It was hopeless, by the way; I got the multiple tangles out but the plastic loops bent backward once will not sit quietly in a coil anymore.

What walks down stairs alone or in pairs/and makes a slinkety sound/A spring a spring a wonderful thing/Everyone knows it's slinky. It's slinky It's slinky/for fun it's a wonderful toy. It's slinky It's slinky/It's fun for a girl and a boy. The plastic slinky doesn't make a slinkety sound, but it doesn't put eyes out either, so I suppose that's okay.

For the record, I am a diehard fan of that Burt's Bees lip balm and have never had a problem with it. I use it 'til the tin is totally empty. Mmm... so minty!

Sue: I think I allow my tin to linger in moist situations (e.g., leaving it on the bathroom sink) too much and a subtle rust forms.
