That’s almost as good as Aperture Science selling shower curtains and multidimensional portal devices.

Well, I don't think they ever actually sold any of the portal guns...

Is that because nobody would buy them or because Aperture fell to ruin before they could put it on the market? 🤔

They were too expensive! The Device was more valuable than the organs and combined incomes of everyone in [subject hometown here].

BIC sells ball point pens, lighters, razor blades, and surfboards.

Had no idea about the surf boards, goofy AF.

They do what they must because they can.

They wanted to sell the multidimensional portal device as a shower curtain.
