Somehow, I discovered the span leftovers only today, but if you think it made life easier for me and I roared through the search, then think.

I would argue that souvenirs do not belong in the same company as Dregs – as souvenirs are something you often buy to remind you of something entertaining, such as a holiday or a concert.
That said, eBay (and my ceiling) is full to the brink of unwanted souvenirs, so maybe it hears after all.
