Anyone still using the (not) government mandated CFL bulbs that have to warm up and won't dim?

I bought some of those original CFL bulbs for my bathroom, unknowingly. It was a brand new package for $1.

I thought it was a pig in the poke at first. I rather like them. If you have to get up at night, it’s like a night light at first and if I’m in there very long, I end up with full light (like if I have to wipe).

I wonder if anyone else liked these screwy bulbs.
