Allergy Alert
Good hostesses don't kill their guests (and try not to make them sick). Serving nut, egg and dairy-free desserts found in the frozen-foods section of our grocery store's bakery department is easy (and not just because we shop there anyway).

Sensor-tive to Our Needs
Thanks to the sensor operation, we no longer have to wash our soap dispenser after we touched it with hands that were covered in raw chicken juice. This improves the quality of our lives immeasurably, and we are not being sarcastic here.
