So the Polonium is supposedly so bad to Kevin, thats his justification for not having it in the video, but yet the PoloK is, sounds contradictory. You then ask commenters to define K, when comparing the Southpaw to the PoloK, instead of the full size, ok then use “common sense” remove the name and compare your can to the competitors that is closer in size, not the model that is 2” shorter. Disingenuous all around.
