[info] I had 2 scoops, and this is the last one.  I normally use a strong spoon.  I just don’t need it.  Not only that, but it’s a pain to wash.  And I kinda think it’s ugly.  So I had this system several years ago, that if I went out of town, I would buy something for the house.  Not because I needed it, but as a souvenir of sorts.  Is this really any better than the mouse ears I’ll never wear, the Destin, Florida t-shirt or the Niagara Falls salt and pepper shakers?  No, because none of it is needed, or even wanted.  It’s a cultual way of saying, “Been there, done that.  What’s next?”
