Have you ever bought a food scale on Amazon? Did you start getting recommendations for things like this:

    Yep happened to me as well. My drug dealers and I had those little metal scales you had to balance on a pencil and clip the bag onto. These kids today have everything so much easier.

    hahaha this is too funny!

    Not long ago I had to send some things out through DHL, and the guy was using a little scale to know how many pounds the article I was sending was, and I was shocked cause I've never seen a food scale in my country, so I asked him "Hey where you got that?" And he told me that he thought it was purchased abroad. Then he said: "It would be good to have one to measure ........ the grams" :laugh: And he said it with an "if you know what I mean" face. It took me a couple of seconds, I'm so innocent I immediately assumed he was also into logging his meals LOL.

    Wonder if anyone ever bought a baseball bat and then got recommendations for "personal massagers"

    Seriously though, this was the easiest way to get a class set of high quality precision digital scales when I was working in LAUSD. For "some reason" the police always have lots of them available, and those things are expensive so you can save a huge amount on your classroom budget this way.
