Pandemic

What were you thinking? Look, we know things can get a little heated in the kitchen… but, frankly, if you’re putting a pan on your head you’re just doing cooking wrong. However, we accept that sometimes these things just happen. We won’t judge.

You’ll be needing the Extract-a-Pan! This highly-sensitive and precisely-calibrated, uh, magnet on a crane, will relieve you of your pan in just a jiffy. You’ll hardly feel a thing! Unless it goes wrong, and then you’ll feel everything. And then possibly nothing.

Pandemic is a visual illness first seen in Lower Bullocks.
