Built like tanks" is a strong claim. How much extra weight are we talking, and does it ever cause balance issues on smaller scopes?

My buddy did something similar last month, but with a lemon. He put one lemon in a bag because he said the peel felt a little sticky from the store's misters. I get what @troy996 is saying about the knot being extra, but I guess some folks just really don't want any mess in their cart.

Same thing happened with my leave-in conditioner. The cheap one just sat on top of my hair, made it feel coated. Switched to one with hydrolyzed wheat protein as the third ingredient. My curls actually absorbed it, way more definition and less breakage. Totally changed how I buy hair stuff now.

That's the classic Twilight Imperium experience right there. My group spent three hours just setting up the board and arguing about the trade rules. We called it a day after someone's fleet got wiped by a card we all forgot existed.

Holy cow, that's a ton of charcoal. I used a whole 20lb bag of briquettes for a pork shoulder on my offset last weekend. It adds up fast, especially if you're fighting wind or cold weather. That's the real hidden cost they never show on TV.
