i remember bawls being a big gamer meme thing when i first got online and thinkgeek making a big deal out of being the only site that shipped it worldwide i never got any, mostly because energy drinks really started to take off in the uk not long after

Wild EEPROM posted:the ridge wallet people actually use those wallets though, maybe not the ridge specifically but "2 metal plates with elastic holding them together" is a pretty simple enough design to slam out cheap copies of its also real frustrating when you're trying to serve a customer and they're fiddling with their dumb minimalist card holder trying to fish out the actual card they need
