Ignorant products that are mass produced

For all those interested, this entire post is nothing more than the ramblings of a working man...

First, let's start with those tiny straws and stirrers that every company office with a coffee pot has.

Naturally, when you pour your cup and you've added just the right amount of cream and sugar you grab one of the above [or generally similar] to mix your coffee with... The only thing is, they don't work worth a **** because the plastic softens from the heat of the coffee, you might as well try mixing your coffee with a ******* gummy worm... Really? Was this product even tested before mass production? We've all seen those wooden stirrers, why aren't they used more? It's not cost, because I can get 1000 wooden stirrers for under $10. Is 50 cents or less, really worth the frustration of trying to stir your coffee with a **** gummy worm?! To demonstrate [protest], I've been taking the plastic stirrers and building circus animals by the coffee pot... Every time I do this, I'm probably costing the company around 12 cents... Maybe after a few years, they'll get the idea... *You can't build circus animals with the wooden ones without glue... True story.
