Not as far as “dumb” per se but I would accept “less smart” in exchange for physical buttons and a removable battery.
The point I was trying to make was “because profit”. I was just trying to say it was plausible that some asshat in marketing said that design would sell better for appearance reasons as well. That’s not benefit of the doubt, that’s just a different way of being profit over product.
Edit - top opening bottles tend to be taller and thinner than bottom opening for balance reasons. A certain subset of consumers are gonna assume taller bottle means more product and buy it. So there you go-a possible profit driven aesthetic reason. There was literally a post here the other day with Coke cans doing essentially the same fucking thing.
Tbf, it’s entirely possible you’re both right and the reason is “this bottle sells better because it looks nice”
My best guess is he’s technically her half brother: OOP’s mother (daughter of the grandma in question) + OOP’s father’s father = OOP’s bruncle-husband. In turn, this would make Cletus the Fetus OOP’s nephew/niece, aunt/uncle, cousin, and stepchild. We’re wandering into medieval royalty levels of incest here.
There was Big Bob’s Beepers on Hey Arnold.
This is the none pizza left beef of sandwiches
Yeah, it’s not that music has gotten worse, it’s that radio has gone squarely down the shitter since basically every station is owned by like 2 companies now.
There were definitely a lot of kids ones in the early 90s that were basically the glasses in the OP but in an assortment of colors. My first pair was a purple and white speckled version of the 80s “serial killer” glasses.
Every time I ran into Nazeem I would pickpocket whatever he had on him and replace it with the most random off-putting shit I could find in my inventory. Game doesn’t actually do anything, but it’s very satisfying to walk past him eating his lunch after stashing a human skull in his pocket.
While it’s definitely PRESENT in Lord of the Rings, one could argue Frodo himself is a subversion of it. Giving the ring to someone powerful would almost inevitably result in corrupting them and (depending on just how powerful they were) would just make a new big bad. Hobbits work as ring bearers explicitly because they’re not “special”.
