I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

You don't truly appreciate a good pair a boots till you park a 2 ton pallet jack on your toes and laugh it off.

I dropped a semi truck lift gate on my toes one time, and didn’t even notice until I went to walk away and realized I was pinned down. Red Wing doesn’t fuck around with their safety toe boots.

Best part of my time in a warehouse was that I could keep the safety boots after I quit

Safety boots with steelcap? That's another category though. Don't want to use them for a walk.

That hasn't stopped me. Just think of it as training weights.

I always walk my dog after I finish work in my steel capped work boots. The times that I actually do walk in my sneakers is so weird, like I’m not used to not having weights on my feet while I walk.
