everyday household items bought from exotic locations

[ziggy starbucks]

do you have an everyday household appliance or item that you bought in an interesting or far away place?

my nail scissors were bought from a pharmacy in Ascot, Berkshire.

No shit, I bought my Ascot from a pharmacist in Berkshire, £150 still works like a new 'un.

I don't think you're taking this seriously Captain Crunch

I used to have a yellow plastic comb which I bought in Moscow in 1982.  I think I've lost it though.

I've got a watch strap I bought in Birmingham, Alabama. The watch doesn't work mind, but the strap is fucking tip top.

I've got some vaseline and some antibiotic ointment I bought in America.

I've got a bowl and a couple of scarves* that I bought in Palestine.

And an Amstrad deep fat fryer that was bought in Italy for, but not by, me.

I have noodles from Estonia, and some sachets of instant coffee. Oh, and a snake thing that goes round the back of your neck for added comfort.

I have Spanish Vaseline.

I hope it doesn't have any Costa Brava sand in it. That'll make your winky very sore, so I'm told.

Thats the quote for which this thread was invented.

[Jack Shaftoe]

Ooh, was the bathroom cabinet 'the last place you left it'? Because if not, someone should be informed.

I've got a Swiss army knife that was bought in Switzerland by a friend, who passed it on to a friend of mine in London to give to me. My friend forgot all about it, but somehow managed to hold onto it for two years, during which she lived in three different flats. Fast forward to Christmas 2006, I was in London, she remembered the knife, and finally gave it to me. I sneaked it through customs and brought it to my apartment in Brooklyn, New York.

I was looking for it yesterday. I seem to have lost it.
