Quite so. Color me boring, but as long as my kitchen utensils do what
they're designed to do - and last a reasonable amount of time I'm
happy. They don't have to win some "cutsie-wootsie" contest before I'll
buy them. And that smiley thing doesn't look all that strong to me
either.

Their very popular in Europe. I've seen all sorts of different
"faces" in Bologna. And you'll be happy to know they're not all
happy faces. It's just bologna, after all.
