I never actually saw that episode but I guess both Billy and Sully had a head to head competition trying to outperform each other for ratings. No surprise that loud mouth Billy won. I’m wondering, is it really all that revolutionary of an invention to have made it on the show? I’m sure I’ve seen similar products already on the market.

Darn it I hate it when they do that…If you love to bake from scratch and you make those sticky squares like rice crispy treats, bar cookies etc than this is a really neat baking pan for keeping those treats perfectly square and easy to pull out of the pan.
