Velveeta along with Cool Whip are the food crimes of the century, I don't understand their popularity.

Fat people pants.
You know, the ones which are always a very bright color and just have an elastic strip band thingy around the waist ?? Very humorous to see, gives me a laugh every time.

Valet parking? Someone needs to return to the real world. 
The space pen actually is kind of cool. I've had one around for about 20 years now, and it always works. But I don't know if it's great enough to make the list.

I call it, and American cheese meant for burgers, "sweaty cheese". You'd NEVER just eat it ... but melted it's not bad.

It just gets so unbearable with the weather so hot, but we always decide against it.

Re: Nine Reasons to Celebrate America
We like AC too: each year, here in Redmond, WA, when we get the week or two of temperatures in the 80s, and sometimes touching the 90s, we wonder whether we should get AC installed in the house.
It just gets so unbearable with the weather so hot, but we always decide against it.
