There's something about that physical weight @lewis.kim mentioned that modern money misses. Swiping a card doesn't feel like anything, but a heavy jar of coins makes the cost and the reward totally real. It turns saving from a number on a screen into a slow, solid thing you can actually lift.

You said it started with the TV remote clip, but I'm pretty sure the original was two sisters arguing over a charger. It just hits that universal sibling experience.

Lol, chili lasting the whole week? Mine's lucky to make it to Friday. Andrew_foster92 might be onto something with smaller batches, unless you're feeding a crowd. Otherwise you're just brewing a science experiment in your fridge.
