Genuine Whirlpool Wood

    I’m sure we’ve all seen some tacky, useless, or otherwise dumb souvenirs in our time. The manager of the Canada Trading Company was getting rid of some samples she had received and she gave them to me. Most of them weren’t Niagara Falls related, but here is one worth sharing:

    A few questions:

    • How do they know the wood went over Niagara Falls? (There are trees all along the gorge)
    • Does ending up cut into pieces and sold count as surviving? 🙂
    • Who buys this stuff?

    Lastly, hopefully this post will inspire you and bring some things back to your remembrance. Share with us some of the tacky/useless and otherwise dumb souvenirs you’ve seen, and let us know which (if any) you’ve purchased.
