I use whatever pair of scissors is handy for whatever I want to cut. I have the same brands of scissors in the kitchen and desk drawers as in my sewing room. Quality scissors take a very long time to get dull cutting paper.
Good scissors use to be a one time purchase because they were hard to find in stores and expensive. Usually a household had one pair of good sewing scissors. Now quality scissors are inexpensive and easy to find. . Why not have good scissors for everyone to use.
As for Snopes, 20/20 did a expose on them. It is a man and woman who started it from their home, decides on their own if something is true or not by searching on the internet or just their opinion. They are wrong more then they are right.
