    I noticed that EVERYBODY sells breadboxes that lay the bread sideways on the counter. But if you rotate the bread mailbox style, it stores a lot more and you don't have to take the loaf out of the breadbox to get at the bread. Hence my invention.

    Here's the Amazon link.

    I'm desperate to get some reviews. I thought I'd let my fellow Blazer fans get one for free if you promise to review it. Always a struggle to get honest reviews on Amazon products. Buy one, review it, and message me and I'll pay you back what you paid for it. Or don't! :)

    Bonus: If you flip it upside down it doubles as a Jawa Sandcruiser transport.

    Double Bonus: If you give it to Carmelo he'll hold it for 10 seconds, jab step, and then bounce it off the backboard. It won't go in, but it will help preserve his legacy.

    I think it looks solid though. Have you thought about trying to grt it into retail? How fast can you produce?

    i could see this in like kitchen outlets. Bed bath and beyonds, etc.

    You should take it to shark tank! Lol. :)

    Yeah, you know I probably should try for Shark Tank some time. I have absolutely no contacts in the retail outlets. But maybe I should give it a look.

    I'd eventually like to offer personalization on the doors with engraving, but that's probably next year. I doubt I'd ever get officially licensed logos from the Blazers, though! Blazers merch is expensive!

    yeah but diehard fans like me would pay double for that pinwheel and unless they have a breadbox already, they would be foolish to deny you. Just more advertising. A pin wheel in every kitchen? Theyd be fools to deny, but them se are talking McGowan here, so….

    lol.

    Tell me who I can talk to that will authorize it in the Blazers organization. I'd love to offer it. Maybe do a tie-in with Dave's Killer Bread.

    Blazers merchandise is expensive? Well, that's gotta be the understatement of the year. At the Kings opening night game we looked at a Blazer hat and then saw the price tag. Guess how much. No, guess higher. No higher yet. $25 for a plain baseball type hat.

    $25 for a hat isn't that bad nowadays. I would have guessed 35-45. That price would make me walk away.

    I can give you one bit of feedback without even buying it. It’s nearly twice the size of my breadbox. I don’t think it would fit on my counter sadly. Our kitchen sucks. Crappy 90s design that thought nobody wanted large kitchens.

    Yeah, it fits 3 full loaves so it's not for small kitchens! It's really a better fit for people who have a lot of counter space and need a little more cabinet storage.
