Lightbulbs...

[ben7]

Recently the lightbulb in my reading lamp burned out, so we got a 2 pack of bulbs from the hardware store. They are GE brand, but of course made in china by slaves...one bulb was defective out of the package.

screwed it in and bzzzt! the wires were loose in the base of the lamp, and they shorted out

When I unscrewed it, the glass bulb fell off from the metal base; I had to get some pliers to remove it!

And it appears they used sand to adhere the glass bulb to the metal base... tsk tsk tsk

Must have run out of adhesive silica and used what they were standing on to make production.

Shame since those are Reveal bulbs with the expensive blue glass.

That's what the consumer gets when they bid out their production to the cheapest bidder in China.
