There is the one we used as a bending sample. It was much easier
to say "bend them like this" than specify angles. I'll put it in
the car for Icebreakers. Incidentally that means it's not from
the last batch but from the first.

They have promised me a number for how many we made of the years.
I would guess 200 or so.

Not bad going, a complete triumph, you will be suitably rewarded at
Icebreakers in a liquid fashion, I'm sure!
