What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

That's not at all required. Just wrap the box in the blanket and it'll still be really hot when you get home. The blanket just needs to be both above and below the box.

Yes but what about the sides?

You wrap the whole box in a blanket, sides and all. It's not hard. I told the blanket in 4, then put the box on one half of it, then just flip the other half over the box. The sides get covered, too. It keeps the pizza super hot.

Just messing around. You said it needed to be above and below. I believe you that blanket pizza is a good thing
