If I say "hand warmer" what do you think I mean
papermint tiger
one of those chemical pack things you put in your gloves
Alexorcist
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST LIKE gloves??
papermint tiger
this might be me just being a northerner, they're sold all over the place here in the fall/winter months

Like a muff
Yon Feldritch
Is what I think
Alexorcist
Okay that makes me feel better cause I was like ???!?!?!?!?
Yon Feldritch
Chemical hand warmer is my second thought
Alexorcist
So we were at the grocery store and I was telling Alex we should get 暖包
Alexorcist
AND I COULD NOT for the life of me think of the English
papermint tiger
but personally i'd never think of simply gloves being hand warmers because my circulation is so shitty gloves do not warm up my hands
Alexorcist
So I had to describe it and I was like HOT PACKETS??
papermint tiger
wearing gloves just makes them slightly less cold than not wearing gloves
Alexorcist
lol ya
Alexorcist
Anyways, we wandered the grocery store, they didn't have it but because I couldn't think of the English I couldn't ask?? It was a whole thing
papermint tiger
that sucks
Alexorcist
The sporting goods store DID have them (in storage!)
Alexorcist
But when we went to ask about another group also asked about them AT THE SAME TIME and thank god because they knew "hand warmer"
Alexorcist
So we managed to get them but like FFFFFFfffffff
Alexorcist
We were going between "hot packet" to "heat bags"
Alexorcist
LOL it was a struggle
papermint tiger
oh no lmao
Alexorcist
Between us and the other group, we took all of their "hand warmers"
Alexorcist
They needed it for a football game for their kiddo. We need them for tomorrow's Samhain event
Alexorcist
But we're very much In the South and we're only just starting to get Frost advisories so they aren't regularly available
Alexorcist
Although after we sold them out of them I bet they'll have them out now lmao
mAWOOoOOoAh
Not sure how further south you are than me presuming US but at this time of year they'll start showing up in Walmart, but are generally stocked in hardware stores. (I am in Kentucky in this case).
mAWOOoOOoAh
But also tbf they may come out more in respect to the fact we have some major outdoor work hubs where handwarmers are in demand the moment things start getting chilly. XD
Alexorcist
I am in central VA!
Alexorcist
We're farmlands, vineyards here primarily. Lot's of hunting too
mAWOOoOOoAh
/nodnod. They'll defs be out soon then.
Alexorcist
YA. Just not soon enough. I mean, we raided arguably the only ones in town atm lol
mAWOOoOOoAh
Well sporting goods department/store wouldn't normally be a place for them. US generally puts them in hardware stores like Lowes or Home Depot, and you might be able to find them in Walmart but I can totally see where it was rough getting the message across
mAWOOoOOoAh
Well I suppose they'd eventually show up in sporting goods but later and probably more at the start of deer season.

mAWOOoOOoAh
I'm glad you found some!
Alexorcist

papermint tiger

papermint tiger

Alexorcist
