Funny story

When i was in high school my friend purchased one of these spoon "seat savers" for me as a gag gift.

I had it for a long time.

i kid you not. My mom hired a cleaning lady because she was working odd hours and i was in school and it was easier to keep the house clean that way.

this cleaning lady took the spoon to the kitchen and cleaned the absolute crap out of it until that spoon did not have one speck of the "ice cream" on it.

i was blown away.

we kept that cleaning lady for years to follow... she was good.

My daughter has something along those lines....it resembles a piece of chewed gum :DL
