@nprofile1q... My brother did something similar once. But with golf balls. He thought they seemed too chilly and maybe warming them up would be good that morning. They seemed ok when he took them out.

I had no idea where it came from, but I loved it. Recently a vendor of them popped into my feed. I decided to try one to see if it was legit.

I'm kind of impressed with the quality.
