Rough Service MY ASS !!!!

I just went to the kitchen cabinet to get a lightbulb. I can not
believe what happened. You know how bulbs come in those cardboard
boxes, holding 2 bulbs, and pretty well padded. I have dropped those
things numerous times and never broken a bulb, not even on concrete.

I just knocked down the same sort of package, with 2 ROUGH SERVICE
bulbs. It only fell about 4 feet and onto a linoleum (on wood) floor.
One of the bulbs literally exploded, the largest piece of remaining
glass is probably about 1/4".

Rough Service MY ASS !!!!

The only thing rough about them is the price I had to pay, compared to
a standard bulb.

The price difference you mention is why you might not have had rough
service bulbs. Some crooks want the high end bulbs at low end prices,
so they switch them around in the boxes. You might have paid for
rough service, and got ordinary bulbs.

Just like eggs, before I buy, I open the box and check. Good luck
next time.
