Who could possibly have thought this design was a good idea?
Background: when we moved here, we installed a wood stove, and I went out of my way to find newspapers for starting fires. Not an easy task. Even cardboard was rare then (it’s abundant now).
Then I discovered blue alcohol, and that was the end of needing newspapers to light fires. I bought my last bundle in 2018, and use them mostly now for cleaning paint brushes. Which I did recently in a fit of spring cleaning.
Inside of each newspaper is this glossy (and thus useless) magazine.
And every time I see it I have the same question: who could possibly have thought this design was a good idea?
