I guess I would not have been so surprised if they ones I bought a few years back from the same place had not been good. I bought more than one the first year I found them for various occasions and maybe even the year after that. I had not bought any since covid and was really excited about the prize that was on the way, only to find..... not good..... wah !
It is always disappointing to get bad products. I suppose I could have taken it back. I guess I just didn't think to do that once I had cut it.
Unfortunately it will not put them out of business when I never buy another one from them. LOL ! Not taking THAT chance again.
It really did make for some nice photos.
