My wife and I got the same pan (and screwdriver) a couple of weeks ago. So far the pan has worked great!

Meanwhile I have trouble falling asleep on a comfy mattress with a soft pillow, just the right amount of covers, nice and dark, with no noise distractions.

He could be homeless, maybe not. Regardless, it looks to be a public space, and the privacy of everyone in the photo is equally infringed upon.

Those end up in a landfill, maybe the hope is that the buyer will keep this one. I probably would

Still, could've just included one of those tiny extra cheap screwdrivers that usually come with ikea products

Yeah, black tips are usually magnetic to grab screws easier, but this one isn't I don't think... 😅

When I was in elementary school my class was taken to a play. I only have vague memories of it but there was a song that stuck with me to this day. I am 44 years old now and I have sorted my clothes by the lyrics of this song for the past 25-30 years. This is an excerpt of the song and the only words I can remember.
“Red, yellow, blue, and green are the colors to be seen. Around the rainbow we will go. The rainbow’s colors we will know.”
From left to right I put whites, then grays, then the song, then blacks.
Anyone else ever heard of that song or know where it’s from?

I have some similar screwdrivers.
You can get fancy ground ones which will be silver, but with a matt grey tip.
These ones are the cheapo ones, but dipped into black paint so they look like the quality ones.

Could be. Maybe with the handle sticking out it makes it a weird size and greatly reduces the number they can ship at once. And if you buy wholesale, a screw driver can cost $0.50 or less depending on how many you order.

It looks like a star-shaped driver, unusual type you aren't likely to have at home.
See, the plan is you tighten this weird screw exactly once, then lose the driver. It's designed to stay tight 18 months. That's about when you've beaten up the surface and overheated it until it's no longer stickproof. Then the handle gets loose and you get fed up and go buy another pan.
I actually like this plan when Home Goods has decent replacements like Calphalon for $25. Except Calphalons don't fall apart and they already come assembled. You can burn 'em out tho.
