Cheap vinegar and Sodium Bicarbonate?

I bought a microfibre cloth in Wilkinsons for 30p the other day.

I use to keep my laptop dust free.

have you seen those 'cool down spray' adverts that have started up recently - sorry cant remember the brand. Someone has worked out that air expanding from a pressurised can is cooled as it expands and that the public are becoming stupid enough to buy it. I could be wrong and it could have some other magic ingredients, like maybe a little moisture which evaporates and cools a little more, but honestly?

read about it for yourself. Demineralised Water! Cooled by decompression of compressed air - I don't believe it!

They even have TV ads (tv ads must be cheap these days!) - but check out the quotes

"Magicool is indeed cool ...is pleasant"
That's got to be taken out of context. I can imagine that originally read
"Magicool is indeed cool, the effect is pretty pathetic/doesn't last but it is pleasant"

The ball things in the wash are questionable BTW - if you do a google search you'll find they're quite likely a rip off in themselves, but cleverly designed as a double bluff for environmental/money conscious people.

The most annoying thing about Kandoo IMO is the little brat on the adverts who sings 'I can do it to-ooo-ooo with Kandooooo' off key with a stupid pop soundtrack, like some demented six year old let loose on a karaoke.

OOOHHH I can see a money-making opportunity. I shall start bottling and flogging east coast air:D It will come in a number of different flavours to suit all tastes and pockets.
RANCID FAT is sure to be a firm favourite. I'll garner this delicate atmosphere as I jog past the donut stall. If it sells well I could introduce it's sister fragrance "KEBAB"
For those who like a more natural aroma how about "DONKEY DUMP" which is quite easily collected round here or perhaps "BANK HOLIDAY PUBLIC TOILET"

Ol'Stylers of course eligible for the special offer of one for the price of two.;)

What are these - those wash balls with little ceramic spheres in? do tell more!

MATH

The ceramic ball thingies are a kind of mineral that are supposed to ionise the water so the dirt is lifted from the clothes. WHICH? tested them against washing with plain water alone and reported that there was no difference. ie. they don't do anything. I've tried them, as have many others and have not been impressed while at the same time others rave about them

I used them a few times whilst I was a student and they were OK. However I was shifting a bit of sweat, nothing more. No serious mud, blood, food stains etc. Water probably would have done the same!

There ya go MATH - told you we could find a market.

Now, living in the beautiful Ribble Valley, in the shadow of Pendle Hill and all its witchy legends, I could do:

Halloween Night Revelry (drunken youths camping on top of Pendle)

Witches Waste (Sewerage Works in Salmesbury)

Air de Castle Cement (speaks for itself)

and its close relative, Air de ICI

Of course, for that west coast sea air, I can source air from Preston Docks or for the more discerning, a short trip will see the delights of Air du Manchester Ship Canal

Don't forget the old Lanky favourite - 'Sniff of Lanky Chippy'

Isn't Ribble Valley where the Fimbles live? You're not RolyMo are you?:rotfl: Poor Mr TM, I bet the poor soul has no idea that he's wed to a purple and green acrylic muppet:eek: What a cruel trick to play on him

I don't think 'Sniff of Lanky Chippy' will be a good seller. The smell of V*I*N*E*G*A*R might put some folks off:p

Vinegar - nah, that one's especially for the OSers

Fimble? FIMBLE? How dare you. I told you, I come from Pendle Hill. (One recent count totted up 136 separate witches covens, but they didn't know about mine

"Eye of newt and vinegar dash
3 parts water and some home made mash
Washing soda and scrunched brown paper
Add bicarb and watch out for the vapour...."

HAhahahahah (laughs maniacally)
