Hockey Sticks and Italian Food

What I Bought: A hockey stick from City Sports
Suck or Not: Not
Details: I bought a Sherwood hockey stick today, which didn't suck because it was on for 1/2 price ($21!!!) and it was close to a pizza place, so I could conveniently enjoy a slice of pizza after shopping.

What I Bought: A pizza slice from some pizza place near City Sports
Suck or Not: Suck, but only because of the bag
Details: WTF, who puts a single slice in between two paper plates, rubber-bands them together, stuffs the slice/plate/band conglomerate into a brown bag, puts in a plastic fork, knife, and spoon, then folds up the bag??? Once I dug out the slice it was okay though.

What I Bought: A rosemary chicken calzone from the Bertucci's near Arlington
Suck or Not: Not
Details: The calzone (and it's lack of packaging materials) made up for the slice! Chicken, rosemary, ham, ricotta, mozzarella, and some kind of tasty sharp cheese, all covered in tomato sauce. Plus I got two Diet Cokes! Diet Cokes are so gangsta...

The Concept

Ever buy something (toothpaste, rugby shorts, a hang-glider) only to realize at some point in the near or distant future that it sucked (tastes like burning, asymmetric testicle support, likes to not fly)? Or not? Well, now you have a forum to read and post about things that you've bought that have sucked (or not), thereby allowing all of this blog's readers to avoid making the same mistake as you. Or maybe you're a huge jerk and you want people to experience your misery. That's cool with us too.
