I was at Rite Aid Pharmacy once and bought one of these paper shredders by impulse. Who doesn’t need a paper shredder...? I thought.

well this POS cant shred any decent sized letters; you had to open them and feed them page by page. It couldn’t shred anything thick at all. It got clogged every other time you used it and it was pain in the ass fix it. I used it for a day and have yet to use it since. Maybe it was just this particular one, but I got the impression that buying small paper shredders is a bad idea.

This thread should have been titled 'Which products can we generalize into being awful because of a few bad experiences.'

I think the mistake with the chicken strips is microwaving them. I'm gonna guess that you guys are frying them? Although the point of me buying them in the first place was for it to be done as quick as possible.

Baking them works pretty well too. Toasting them up in a toaster oven for 20 minutes hits the spot for me.
