Wooden Stir Sticks Review

Category: Art, Comedy, FoodJoz @ 11:06 pm

Not too long ago I was looking into wooden stir sticks so we could switch to them at work, away from the plastic ones - you know… think plastic chemical leakage being placed in near boiling water - just don’t feel good about it, and I can’t be in love if it’s plastic.  Anyway, I was laughing pretty hard when I was reading the sole review that someone posted on Amazon.  Yes, this really is about drink stir sticks, though it turns out that this person is a review artist, gotta love him:

Morning Has Broken, But It Can Be Stirred Into GladnessOctober 28, 2008
By   (Where the Wind Blows) - See all my reviews

Stirring cream into coffee, watching the smoky cloud brighten the dusky drink, is the beginning of good days. Spoons work well-enough, but their inadequacy lay in their efficiency. Wide and concave, a spoon swirls creamed coffee swiftly, and the morning starts too fast. Pace those first moments with Wooden Coffee Stirrers, and every moment after will be more welcome than the last. 

With the Wooden Coffee Stirrers, the lingering night escapes more slowly, more gently. Mornings are better begun not bounding, but with a kind crawl. The thin, flat surface slips the cream into the coffee, blending like candlelight in a dim room in May. 

The wooden stirrer is closer to nature than the chemical of plastic, or the harshness of steel. Friendly to the fingertips, the action of the stirrer is comfortable, an ally for meeting your hopes for good coffee and a nice day. 

Increase the welcome of each morning by using the Wooden Coffee Stirrers. 1,000 should last a year. Make sure it is a good year.

This review became rather respectable in retrospect, but was very comedic when first encountered.

    Joz,

    How delightful… it is a long evening here at work, and there is someone, somewhere with a post telling the world that they liked my review. It made my day.

    I’m with you on the plastic stirrer question. Are they OK? Maybe, but wood works, is safe, is inexpensive, and recycles easily. These wooden ones are really good. We use them at work.

    I live in the Middle Coast, far from the left one.
