          I remember old cartoons spelling it catsup and maybe one or two brands still spelling it like that in the 80's.

    Boomers were born with dementia. This is a boomer shopping list. They would flip one of these when low/out on an ingredient, then change it back when they got it, instead of just making a fucking list.

      That is literally a fucking list though.

        Except requiring you to write words and amounts on paper with a tool, it's a metal object that's just flicking switches on a limited amount of preselected items because they're too illiterate or lazy to jot things down.

        They are just GenZ without microchips.

          Why would they need to jot things down when they can just flick a switch?
          >limited preselected items
          How hard is it to remember that "soups" means you need to get a can of chicken noodle and two cans of cream of mushroom? Do zoomers really have to have every little detail spelled out for them in large print or their brain seizes up in panic?

    Guys, I tried finding one of these on ebay for about 5 minutes and couldn't find one. Kinda looks better than using a list on my phone. It'd be fuckin rad to get a custom list made because I'll never flip over baby food, matches, delicateSS and sugar very often.

    Oh shit just the mechanism would be great, buy a letter punch set and make my own categories. I fucking hate our dumb modern society of everything being on a nightmare brick of a cell phone. I want physical stuff again.
