I've lucked out and haven't gotten anything that bad. My mother in law is weirdly obsessed with making sure everyone gets the exact same number of gifts so sometimes I get some truly random junk lol. She got me (or maybe my wife) a Toy Story 3 Pizza Planet branded Pizza... Maker? Idk. Imagine a waffle iron but for pizza. We have an oven. Idk. I guess it's for college kids in dorms without full kitchens? We just don't have the counter space for it. It's sat in the box. Our kitchen is very tiny. We already have a bunch of counter top appliances and don't have room for another. And why take it out of the box when we have an oven?
