And I saw a ripoff brand of battery called "Duravell." It had the copper top on the battery and everything.
I've seen that too, but they were named Powercell.

I have an old monitor made by AOC, a DVD player by the seemingly non-existent Digitec, and a game console made by Microsoft. Who's ever heard of these?

Last view: 6089 days 		My dad got one of those musical Dancing Hamsters, and it had pink Hello Kitty batteries inside, though I don't remember which brand. I think he still has them!

My brother once bought some dollar-store batteries called SHAZAM! or something...I put some in one of my rarely-used remotes, and they died within a few months.

My current monitor is an AOC.

Yesterday, amongst the normal trash on the ground, I saw a candy bar wrapper that had what looked like the Snickers logo, but it said "SATISFIES".

Has anyone actually heard of IntelliMouse? I mean, I'm certain LOTS of people use IntelliMouse mice, but I don't think a lot of people actually know what it is.


Microsoft's line of mice are called "IntelliMouse"

Last view: 6140 days 		That reminds me of our old 486 and then our old Pentium I, which were made at small computer stores (the 486 in Niagara Falls, New York, and the Pentium I in Troy, Michigan). The former was a "Concept Computers" (which was also the name of the store), the latter a "Pack-In-Tell", which sounds like a combination of as many computer companies as they could cram into ten letters (Packard Bell and Intel?)

That's...just an ordinary Snickers wrapper. Some of them say "SATISFIES" on the side.

Last view: 2115 days 		I have a Technics brand VCR, I'd gotten it to replace a JCPenney model which clearly had came out of the exact same production line. My old remote even works with this Technics one. Probably like how some cars are rebadged under different names.
