    I used to live in Daytona and one day a shop opened up in a strip mall selling nothing but Super-Whippers. A Super-Whipper was a $1 plastic whisk. This shop had two metal trees in the windows, one loaded with a few white whisks and one with black. They were never open and there was a hand-written sign on the door that said “we’re closed – if you want a Super-Whipper, the salon next door has some”. They were less than a quarter mile away from three dollar stores and a Publix, all of which sold plastic whisks.

    Maybe coastal Florida had some sort of severe, unmet demand for plastic whisks, but I remain skeptical of the legitimacy of this business.
