......and available in 2 sizes. Too big and yes, too small.

On thinking about it for mine field traversing, it would be hard to know if too big or too small WAS better.
Smaller = less chance of hitting one.
Bigger = spread the load more.
WAS because was is more likely than is, in that job!

edit: did the carton come with the medal in it, as well?
