Ok, Millennial
The family-friendly game of hilarious Boomer and Millennial stereotypes.

We’re excited to share Ok, Millennial with the world. Ok, Millennial is a hilarious new party game that is actually safe to play with your parents.
Our game pokes good-natured fun at Millennials and Boomers alike, touching on the best stereotypes and experiences of each generation. From an “emotional support peacock” to “still having a landline,” we leave no stone unturned.

The best part is that Ok, Millennial is easy to pick up and start playing right away! No wasted hours trying to teach drunk family members the rules.

What do I get?

Each game comes with 75 “question” cards along with 375 “answer” cards, each containing an LOL-worthy stereotype or cultural observation about a Boomer or Millennial. Every question card works with Boomer or Millennial - or make up your own group to tease! Coin not included. We recommend asking the nearest Boomer if you need one!

It's definitely aimed at the people who are way deep into the bullet journal lifestyle which uses similar symbols to mark tasks done and separates them into today/soon/later style categories.

Some people are really into the aesthetic of fancy notebooks and paper and stuff. I mean, I am too, but I'm too cheap to buy any of this stuff these days.

Look how cool you could be.

I have a couple mesh bags, one cotton, one synthetic. They are fine. No good for tiny things like pens or change, but okay. I'm pretty sure they basic design has been around for, like, centuries? It's a design I've always associated with old ladies. Maybe on Coronation Street or old movies.

You know that tiresome drawer full of tongs we all have? What if you could replace tongs with a gadget half the size of tongs that you add cutlery to to make tongs whenever you need a tong?


https://i.imgur.com/b2XTJ8l.gifv


You may be thinking, "Why would I want that? Why would anyone want that?" Well, I'll let them explain:




Cleaning is a hassle? Really? Really?!? I hate doing dishes, but I've never felt tongs were especially burdensome. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.




Huh. Well see there's my problem. I only have like 2 sets of tongs, when obviously the average is, uh, 13. Clearly you need all those specialized shapes for reasons. Except not really, because all those specialized shapes are going to be replaced by forks and/or spoons.





Wow, what a great deal! Get yours now!!!

Haha more important than a chef's knife, my rear end. You can't cook almost anything without a knife but I only really need tongs when I need to handle both raw meat and other stuff at the same time.

I like the bit where he picks up a fork to flip over some raw chicken then picks up a second fork , make tongs and flips over the chicken. Something easily doable with just the fork in the first place.

I actually got a similar one from aliexpress a while ago and the "knife" part is pretty dull so I think it wouldnt' be a problem unless you're really trying to hurt yourself with it

One of those sets of tongs is intended to take sugar cubes out of dainty little bowls. Another one I recognize as tea tongs, for taking teabags out of the kettle. Not exactly things you can replace with standard size silverware.

Think it's pretty clear anyone buying "replace all these items with this one thing!" stuff from kickstarter or wherever else doesn't really have a drawer with 18 different types of tongs, they actually have a drawer with 18 different weird kickstarter cutlery gadgets (most of which don't work as well as whatever they're replacing, all of which are probably harder to clean and store and will break easily)
