WHY DOES A FIVE GALLON GAS CAN COST $20?
WHY DOES IT TAKE THREE ARMS TO USE AND YET I STILL SPILL GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE?
WHAT THE F*** IS THIS RIDICULOUS ENGINEERING OBAMANATION OF A CONTRAPTION AND WHY CAN'T I HAVE A NORMAL GAS CAN WITH A NORMAL SPOUT?!?!?!?!
Prepping for a bad storm, I picked up another four five gallon gas cans to top off for my generator and low and behold, WTF are these nightmares? I spilled gas all over myself, all over the generator and all because some environmentalist dickhead managed to convince someone that gas fumes were killing the planet so, low and behold, here's what we're stuck with.
I blame Obama.
President Trump, I implore you! Do you want to win strong in 2020! Give us normal gas cans again!!!
You’re NOT alone on this issue.
However, you may have to take a number and get in line.....LOL
Get some E-Z Pour spouts from Amazon.
Totally absolutely agree. They are unusable and spill far more gas.
Thats the damn truth.
I'm about to get some empty milk jugs. Hell, I'll even spray paint them red!
Lol. I can’t use one either. I finally found a couple of old ones at antique markets. Metal, with screw cap and vent. Dented but beautiful.
It’s called an Obama Spout-designed by Joe Biden
Get rid of them.
That sir is a liberal wet dream.
I have a few old cans, was considering selling them at my yard sale. Nope, keeping them as I think about all the difficulty using the newer cans. Never spilled any from the old ones, but the newer ones always end up with spilled gas - they don’t fulfill their purpose at all as spills release more fumes than ever before.
Completely negating the whole reason for their existence; fume mitigation.
What is it? It’s the head off a duck decoy.
Buy a funnel. Take the decoy head off and pour.
“WHY DOES A FIVE GALLON GAS CAN COST $20?”
capitalism? s/
No sweat. Use one hand for the handle, the other hand to steady the bottom and use the gripping hand to manipulate the spout. (For Mote in God’s Eye fans).
Sorry about your troubles.
But government control of prices is not the answer, it is the start of government control of everything.
Those came out when w was gov of Texas, just saying
I would not be surprised if there was a course on how to properly use one of these bright ideas. Properly done in government fashion, it would take 10 hours, of which 8.75 would be on the evils of fossil fuels and environmentalism. At the end of the course, you the citizen viewer, will have an overwhelming desire to douse and apply ignition.
