Broken: Smores maker
My children bought one of the ever-popular Smores makers for me for Christmas. Enclosed in the package was the attached slip. It reads,"To enhance the campfire experience, the grill will develop a warm glow during use and the surface will change to an antiquated, burnised finished. A slight curvature of the grilling surface may also occur. These transformations are intended to enrich the appearance of the S'mores Maker and in no way affect its performance."
This is a very clever way to compensate for design flaws... simply leave a note for your consumer!
