    Like:

    zip lock bags that don't zip

    paper towels that don't rip...along the line

    packages that say...tear here to open...and you do...and they don't

    plastic wrap

    EPA gas cans

    Stihl flippy caps

    You're right, but the funny thing is there's only one supplier of those "zippers" right now. So while the bag might have been a knock-off, all "zip-lock" closures came from Zip-Pack (that is until their patent runs out in the near future).

    Cling Wrap is so good, it even sticks to itself.:picard::headbang:
    We go through a lot of spray bottles. Have one right now that was working just a few days ago, and now it's not. Now, it's just a container.

    We were in the middle lane of 3 doing about 72, and a Prius passed on the left doing about 80.

    You know there are a surprising about of Prius owners that will drive at 80. Seems to be middle aged men that look like they have typical office jobs and must buy them for the fuel economy but they still drive like normal. I had a Prius as a rental for a week once, it wasn't a bad car for highway driving. I got like 50 mpg over 400 miles with a lot of backwoods mountain driving.

    It's the middle aged men with grey ponytails and women drivers with flower stickers that like to slow the rest of us down in the left lane.
