Is all this reminiscing about the day you never forgot in the first place making you hungry? Stingray Sushi in Phoenix, Arizona has got you covered with their "9-11 Remembrance Roll." It's made with spicy crab, avocado, and asparagus and topped with tuna and whitefish, and costs $12, Eater reports. (You've got to admire their restraint in not charging $19.11.)

Now before you accuse the southwestern restaurant of crassly cashing in on 9/11, please note that 90% of the proceeds go to benefit firefighters... in Phoenix. We swore we'd never forget 9/11, but now we're deeply ashamed to admit we've forgotten all about how Wells Fargo Plaza in downtown Phoenix was destroyed in a controlled demolition by the CIA.
