    So I received one of these in change and held on to it. Looks weird. I call it the waffle penny. Probably got ran over by something. Any ideas lol?

    Yeah it was kinda neat. It's split perfectly down the middle. Might be a meat hammer, GD!

    Someone is working on a prototype of the World's smallest waffle iron.

    Looks like it was put in a small vice and cranked down pretty good. Or not.

    I dunno, I think somebody stuck it in one of those 'Big Boss Grills' for a couple hours.:rolleyes:
    Im really starting to think somebody put it in a vice, and then hammered the crap out of the handle. I know ive done that as a kid before.
    Just a thought

    With the design on both sides then I too would have to go along with the vise or small press of some kind.
