I've had weird experiences with batteries. I understand that they are all made at the same factory, but buying store brand batteries once cost my middle school nerd brigade the national title in our nerdy robot competition.

Then again, it might have been a conspiracy on the part of the store to get us to buy the brand name batteries by selling expired store-brand batteries. Who knows?

Paul, remind me not to have kids. Or not to buy my kids toys that require batteries. Yup. Just some dolls made out of old socks or something.
