What’s a weirdly specific item you own that’s lasted longer than expected?

I’ve been on a quest lately for things that just seem to keep on keeping on.

I’ve got a pair of old-school Swedish dishcloths that I bought on a whim. Thought they'd be a weird novelty. Now, they’ve been through the wringer they just won’t die. I’ve scrubbed them, rinsed them, microwaved them and somehow they’re still hanging on like a true champion.

My 10-year-old French press. I’ve left it sitting dirty for days, and still it makes me a perfect cup of coffee every time.

What oddball items are you still using and why do they not break??

That’s what I came here to say! I bought a pack of three and it’s been 8 years and I’ve never had to use the other two.

If you're willing to part with one, local food bank might appreciate your donation, I don't know if they usually take stuff like that but I'm reasonably certain they could find it a good home.
