For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

Actually they are all the same, and none of them are, that's why they are all the same. The plan was made before fire codes required updated sprinkler systems or something and since they keep reusing the same plans they all are fire hazards.

A fire fighter buddy of mine was ranting one night and I caught the tail end of the discussion.

    I feel like I'm catching the tail end of this discussion. Is this thread still about dollar store products? What plan do you mean?

    He's talking about the physical dollar store ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Oh ok, that makes sense. Thought he might have meant that at first but second guessed because I only see them in strip malls or other buildings they didn't build themselves these days but thinking about the aisles does make me think fire hazard now. At least they usually keep the lighters by the cash, though I wonder if someone learned that one the hard way.
