Kitchen rage (again)

Philippa is showing off some new ‘Jamie At Home’ products. I don’t know what they’re called but they look like little plastic hairclips. I said ‘what are these for then?’
She said “You use them to keep food packets closed once you’ve opened them, so the food inside stays fresh.”
I said “Oh. We already had something in the house that could do that job. IT’S CALLED A PEG”
Well done, Jamie. You’ve put your name on something completely unnecessary, that will only sell because it’s got your name on it…
Kitchen genius? MY ARSE.
Money-grabbing bastard, more like.
