Thanks, but I'll pass on another Amazon phone experience.
Hope it works out for you. (y)
Didnt blame you for not wanting to bang your head against the wall on an Amazon call. Was skeptical it’d be worthwhile myself. Well. One came yesterday, the other was waiting for me when I got home just a bit ago. Called them up, and to my surprise, they’re actually giving me a full refund for both, and I get to keep them. I can’t complain about that.

It came today by USPS in a padded brown envelope. I bet the envelope would cost at least $1. And I got free shipping. Total with tax was $1.05.
My wife uses these funnels and the cheapie set from HF in the kitchen for canning an such. Much, much cheaper than actual canning funnels. This long one is used to tall jars and ketchup bottles.

Bought several cases of this last year and it was a good value for 6 quarts. You can save more if you put it on subscribe and save. Just cancel it after your order arrives.

That's because it's not Mobil 1, that's a separate product. They're both made by ExxonMobil, but M1 is the premium offering and Mobil (and Mobil Super) are made to compete with the regular store brands.

Is there really a quality difference in the oil itself (Mobil vs. Mobil 1), or is it just marketing?

$49 (as reported by @In The Doghouse above) for 6 quarts of "store brand" quality seems ridiculous (not remotely competitive).

This quote from an Amazon review. "Price seemed too good to be true, so I checked it with the Scantrust app recommended by Mobil. A scan of the barcode registered the oil as counterfeit." Didn't try this myself just passing along what I read.

My 2 boxes got delivered today, they are the above and look legit.
Admittedly I clicked and bought thinking they were Mobil1.
I'll have to decide what I am going to use them for....

If you need a new tablet, the 9th gen iPads are $199 down from $340, as Apple recently dropped the 10th gen. So they're clearing out the 9th gen units. It should be supported for 3-4 more years.

It is the last one with a Home button and a speaker port. It also sports lightning port (I have a lot of them since I have an iPhone 12).

I am blown away by the screen quality. Way way better than my Amazon Fire 7 inch. :) And the touch and gestures are easier. I may get a keyboard case for it, and just use it as a laptop.

I’m still using a 3rd generation and it’s still supported, I’m thinking the 9th gen will be good for more than a few years. Might have to get one at that price.

Yep the screen quality and speed will be a huge upgrade over 3rd gen. Heck it's probably 2,000 times more powerful than the computers that landed us on the Moon.

Those cost $30 million. This one's only $199. 😄 Bang for the Buck City.
