I got a big box of parts that I ordered from Snyders today and when I was checking off the parts with the invoice I came across a box that said Timken Tapered Roller Bearings. I know I didn't order any bearings so I thought is was put in my order by mistake. I opened the box which is a real Timken bearing box and inside was a solid Chocolate Wheel Bearing. A small christmas present I guess. My grandaughter wants to eat it but I think it's cool and want to save it. I will probably lose this one.:)
 
I was in the tool department at Sears recently and saw they were selling a box with wrenches displayed through cellophane. The wrenches were chockolate.

George,

Had the same experience today-no clue why they sent me a bearing-nice touch from Snyders-could be a cool gift for your gearhead friends, will have to see where we can find them:)
 
How silly, anyone knows you would only use the peanut butter to lubricate the chocolate gears.

Hand lubricate bearings with dark chocolate frosting!! You take a large glop of frosting and put it on the palm of your hand. Take bearing and generously coat with frosting. Once bearing is gone lick hand clean.


If diabetic get extra large needle and fill with insulin.

same thing with me today from snyders
 
Nice touch!! Unfortunately I don't need anything. Reminds me when I worked for eastman Kodak, CESD (copier repair), starting a little after thanksgiving when ever I got a parts order from Rochester there were a half dozen small candy canes in the box.

Hmm. I received an order of the wood for my RPU project yesterday, I'll have to check the order closely it sounds. I opened the box and right to work with the wood, might be a coffee treat in there!

It took me a while early this week to learn why the sent me that Timkin tapered roller bearing that I did not order. ... But thanks Snyders, for the shipping "error". It tasted great.
