Here’s to a Lon Life

I bought a postal scale over a year ago, and the kittens/cats recently chewed through the electrical cord for it.  The little bastards!  I thought I was going to have to have to search high and low for a replacement adaptor, but when I turned the scale over I discovered a slot for a battery.  I removed the battery cover, and inside was a pristine, virgin battery, still in a protective plastic coating.  It was made in China.  I present an image of the battery for your inspection:

The battery brand name was obviously chosen by the Chinese manufacturer to represent what all Americans want from life: Lon.  A day without Lon is a day without sunshine, or so they say.

Unfortunately, after a year of sitting dormant, the battery had a lot in common with two other famous Lons, Lon Chaney Sr. and Jr.  Like the Lon Chaneys, my Lon Life battery was quite dead.  I was still amused by the name, though.  Long live the Lon!

  1. Yet still, with 0% Mercury! So go ahead and drop it in a lake or use it to catch a fish. Hilarious!

  2. Yeah, I thought the 0% mercury thing was pretty amusing too.  We all know that China is the world leader in environmental issues!
