Maybe, I too bought the car opener works great, so far for the Betty Crocker stuff from the dollarstore overall love it. Everything has been great but the measuring cups, which could have been just a defective set like mentioned
My Betty Crocker spatula melted as well, from medium heat. Again another waste of $ on Dollarama items...it gets annoying.
Also the red plastic measuring cups- the white writing wears off and makes it difficult to quickly grab what you need. I tried using a Sharpie to re-write it on but it wore off the plastic too.
Is there a way to add pics from your phone? I found Phytogenix pills, $3 for 20 though I did a price comparison at Walmart and it was $8.98 for a bottle of 42 with a bonus bottle of 42 as well.
What do they do?
I haven't tried them, so I did a quick search (I'm pretty suspicious of herbal supplements).
User reviews are mixed, most found it did not contribute to weight loss, but some did find that it helped control appetite to an extent (ie. helping to eat on a schedule). A lot of the reviewers said they used it in combination with healthy eating and exercise.
Apparently you need to take 6 pills a day (3 pills, 2 different times).
You'd need to verify this yourself, but one user posted that 1 pill contains:
389mg Green Tea Extract
100mg Raspberry Ketone
50mg Caffeine
The caffeine part really surprises me - that means in 1 serving you're taking 150mg of caffeine. In comparison, a small coffee from Tim Hortons contains 140mg of caffeine (a medium 205mg)
In 1 day you've just had 300mg of caffeine, more than a large coffee at 270mg, but a little less than an extra large coffee at 330mg.
An extra large Green Tea from Tim Hortons contains only 60mg of caffeine (dependent on how long the tea is steeped).
glad I'm not the only one it happened to. It's a waste when it happens the first few times you use it. If it happened after alot of use, Ok I can accept that. We made maybe, I don't know, 12 pancakes altogether.
Does anyone know if there are safe spatula's to use that can withstand heat? It's clear the betty crocker spatulas (that or we are both unlucky and got bad ones) but can anyone recommend any other good brands? If I go with kitchen aid, am I guaranteed a good safe product?
Thanks for the tip about the measuring cups.
Tupperware---it also has the lifetime warranty....
I bought the Kitchen Aid from WM for $4.97 I think and it has held up much better. Bought the cheaper one from there but ended up returning it because it melted too and got the more expensive Kitchen Aid spatula.
It does have the occasional string of melted plastic come off but not like the others. Where I felt like it was actually melted into my food, ewww...
Haven't had any issues with my Betty Crocker utensils melting and they've been used for a good 6 months. Also no issues with the measuring cups. A friend bought all her Betty Crocker utensils at Dollar Tree here and there is a huge difference in quality between hers and mine (from Dollarama). The Dollar Tree ones are definitely lower quality and don't look as nice.
Saw lots of Blu-ray movies today for $3. Recognized a couple of titles but others I hadn't heard of.
Found these today, Bic Flame Disc for $3. http://www.amazon.com/BIC-Charcoal-A...c+portable+bbq
Bear Paws http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...electedIndex=1
in the yogurt flavor $2.
The resealable bags of McCormicks candy...sweedish berries, fruit slices, marshmallow strawberries, marshmallow bananas $2
Wait a minute, mine had a string of melted plastic come off, isn't that bad if the plastic melts some string off?!
For the people that have had better success with no name brand plastic utensils, just because it doesn't melt doesn't mean it's not bad for you.?
Sorry, I guess I'm one of those people that think "you get what you paid for" if you buy a cheap no-name and it doesn't work, maybe it won't melt but maybe there are chemicals slowly being melted into the food you cook? Maybe I'm being too paranoid.
