For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

I mentioned to a family member how much I like my garlic press. I then received a garlic press for Christmas and will certainly be regifting it.
Is your family member Google Ad Sense?
“I see you spent a week researching PSUs for your computer and I see that you finally bought one. Would you like to buy a PSU? because even though we know you bought one we’ll be showing you nothing but ads for PSUs for the foreseeable future.”
Its really bad when you’re in your living room talking about PSUs, then all of a sudden the only adds you see online are about PSU’s.
Yeah, I’d be all like, “wtf happened to my ad blocker!?”
Speaking of which, if you talk about ad blockers in your living room, do you get ads for those?
Why have you not violently disposed of your “smart” electronics that apparently permanently monitor you for amazons profit?
What kind do you have?
I have an ancient one, probably my great grandmothers, and the garlic just gets smashed into the square-but-actually-round holes and it’s impossible to get most of it out.
Mostly it makes smashed garlic, which I can do with a knife much more easily…
I got an Oxo Good Grips one for my Christmas this year and I think it’s the last press I’ll ever need
I have this one as well. I like how it’s one piece, unlike some cheaper ones
It’s not one piece. It looks like one piece but the rubber handles eventually separate. The past couple of years I have used it without the rubber handle covers.
It will last about 5 years. I have one. The rubber handles fall off and the chrome plating peels.
Are people just too lazy to chop garlic?
Pressed garlic has a much more intense flavor. For a stew or most cooked stuff I would squash and chop it, for sauces or garlic oil I prefer pressed.
It’s also much faster as you don’t have to peel it and if you wash the press right away it’s just as fast as washing a knife.
Sometimes you want it pressed rather than chopped
Pestle and mortar? Smash it with a spoon?
Knife works better, since it’s a flat surface. A spoon would push it to the side instead of crushing evenly. Mortar and pestle is overkill unless you’ve got a lot of garlic to press.
You don’t know my diet
