Yes, I drove myself (and this newsgroup) crazy trying to find a
replacement for my old Farberware frying pan, when I finally just
ordered one, sure enough it wasn't the same. Smaller diameter,
higher sides. Nice pan, but I prefered the dimensions of the previous
one.

Little did I know when those Farberware pots and pans came in
great sets and individual pieces, I should have bought extras.
I wonder what I should be stocking up on today, something that
I'll look back and think, You should have bought two.
