    @Bengal B yeah I'm sure if you just really want to blow through some cheddar it could be done but wow. I am by no means an app junkie and like you I only get free ones. Like @LaSalleAve said, could be in app purchases. Those could run up a tab quickly. My 8 yr old has the deer hunting game and if Shaq is dropping a grr on that thing he really sucks at it. Thing hasn't cost me a dime and Hayden has killed every animal on the damn thing.

    If you are ever able to be a contestant on Let's Make a Deal, and you get the ever famous pick a curtain game, then please heed the following advice. After making your selection, Wayne Brady shows you a curtain with a zonk prize behind it (knowingly, of course) and asks if you want to stick with your original choice, then change your choice of curtain. Your odds go up 100 %, from 1/3 to 2/3. By sticking with your original choice, you have not affected the outcome at all and your chances remain at only 1/3.

    This is famously referred to as the Monty Hall problem.

    To keep your aluminum foil from popping out of its box and rolling out across the kitchen.

    [​IMG]

    I have been showing people (after it was pointed out to me) this feature on an aluminum foil box for years. Almost all boxed wrap or paper products for use in the kitchen have something similar. Out of the dozens of folk I've shown this to, I've yet to come across a single person that said they were aware of this feature.

    And me.

    I just punched the holes in my two boxes of foil and saran wrap.

    This may or may not be little-known. The feeling you get in your fingertips when touching bubble wrap is very similar to the feel of touching a human female nipple.

    @plotalot I knew that but only learned it a year or so ago.
