The Oprah Winfrey Show is in it's finale 25th season, so this year's annual Favorite Things episode(s) had to be ridiculously faaaaabuuuuulousssss! Luckily, Oprah did not disappoint. People in the audience literally lost their damn minds—screaming, crying, jumping up and down while hugging complete strangers—check, check and check.

And you get a car, AND YOU GET A CAR and YOU GET A CAR!

Yes, everyone in the audience for Part 2 of Oprah's Ultimate Favorite Things show (this year Oprah really outdid herself with a surprise 2-parter of faves) got a 2012 VW Beetle, an iPad, and a bunch of other stuff most of us can't afford... but my favorite thing was given away in Part 1. It wasn't the Royal Caribbean cruise (you're all going on a 7-day CRUUUUUUISE), or even the PUT ON YOUR 3D GLASSES 'cause you're all getting a 52" HDTV with 3D, but...

...the Baker's Edge BAKING PANS! Baker's Edge Baking Pans for everyOOOOOOONE!

These pans are genius and thank you Oprah for introducing them to me. Genius, I say! Why? Corner pieces of lasagna and/or brownies for all of YOUUUUUUUU. Also, this favorite thing was one of the only reasonably priced items on the list. Unless you have a spare $500 lying around to waste on a cashmere sweater you'll never wear?

(Note: I totes agree with Oprah—Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix really is the best. I'll vouch.)
