Last stupid picture me the year


I spotted these today in a cookshop, "Onion glasses" How sad is that?

Dear Sir,

I am somewhat shocked at your naive comment about our product.
We at RSVP constantly struggle to market the most useful and up-to-date cooking equipment.
Did you know (medical fact!) that almost 30% of all conjunctivitis cases amongst British housewives are onion-induced?
Our product greatly reduces the risk of this awful inflammation.
I do sincerely hope that you will be so kind as to explain why that should be referred to as "Sad".
Kind regards,
Philip Sutton
PR Manager, RSVP Ltd.

Get a sense of humour, Mr Sutton. It's the notion of putting on goggles to do the cooking. Come on. It's amusing.

I'm sure there'll be a law passed soon to make us all wear full body suits in case we spill the cheese sauce but until then, it just seems wrong.

Sad is that you charge £15.99 for a product with no style, questionable use and that can be replicated with, let's say, DIY glasses or goggles that retail for half the price or less.

Lighten up.
