Silver. Unlike Viktoria Komova and the rest of the Russian Olympics gymnastics team, we happen to think silver is pretty great. Even better, perhaps, than gold.

(Gasp!)

Oh, yeah. You'd think so too, if you saw beautiful sterling silver handcrafted artisan jewelry by Beach 2 City (formerly known as B2C).

The drive-thru. In your opinion, one of the world's best inventions.

You tell someone what you want, then sit comfortably while he or she scrambles to fill your request in a matter of minutes. You feel like royalty.
