Speaking of Wal-Mart, I bought and returned a series of three or four
Stanley thermoses (thermi, perhaps?).

These things used to be the very model of dependability (my dad has a few
from the fifties that will keep liquids boiling for weeks, or so it seems),
but I've gotten one bad one after another.  Anyone else had this kind of
experience with their products lately??

Yeah, I know.  It'll be Friday soon, somewhere. :-)
