Not a bridge, and I don't recall the flavo(u)rs, but if push comes to shove I can provide "a written lifetime guarantee" that this bad boy was made from popsicle sticks .... every one of them licked by me, or my wife, of one of our grandkids.

I have a Snuffy Compensated compression bridge coming. It will be a fun comparison.

And for the comments about the cost of things like bridges, or picks or whatever folks like to b**** about…. I took my wife out to Olive Garden yesterday for lunch. And we even ordered off the lunch menu. Add a glass of wine and a dessert, and a tip, and you are over $50. My $50 made us happy for a few hours, and most of it will end up in the city sewer system and gone. On the other hand, a $50 bridge, or a $50 thumb pick or fingerpick set, can make me happy for 20 years or much more, play hundreds of millions of notes, and entertain more folks than I could ever count.

Some decades ago, after visiting one of my brothers/sister-in-law, I made the observation [privately, to my wife] that, "Ya know .... I think I can relax better in a 1/4 million dollar house than a 1/2 million dollar house."  wink

[They had off-white shag carpeting in their LR. ... and I hadn't even spilled anything on it.  crying  ]
