Toilet Paper Changed...Again














This morning, I was putting up some toilet paper and I realized that it felt
unusually soft and spongy. I've been buying this brand of toilet paper for
years, so I knew something was different. I compared one of my new rolls
to a roll from the previous package I had purchased, and I was right...my
favorite toilet paper had changed again.

Toilet paper #1 is the new version. Check out the smaller cardboard tube
and the loose weave of the toilet paper. Toilet paper #2 is from the previous
package. Remember, this is the same brand. Anyway, the cardboard tube is
bigger on the old version and the weave of the toilet paper is tighter, so more
toilet paper fits on the tube.

Consumers aren't stupid, and companies that produce products that have
loyal customers shouldn't treat them as such. I would rather companies keep
their products the same and charge me more, than to change the products by
giving me less and charging me the same price.

Use Every Drop of Disinfectant

    




















When my disinfectant wipes are gone there is a lot of cleaner left at the
bottom of the container. I used to toss the liquid but not anymore. I found
a way to use every drop of the disinfectant.

Once the wipes are gone, take the disinfectant liquid and pour it into a
small spray bottle. Be sure that you label the bottle, so you or anyone else
knows that it contains disinfectant cleaner.

Mold in Bottled Water






















I know there's a debate about tap water and bottled water. Some people say
they're equal in quality and other people say that bottled is always better.
I used to believe that bottled water was cleaner, but now I'm having serious
doubts. I bought this gallon of water two days ago (It's supposed to be good
until 2016) and as you can see, it has mold floating in it. There was a lot of
mold in it, but it wouldn't show up well on camera. The nasty crap kept
floating around like it had a mind of its own.

I returned this gallon along with two more gallons. At the major grocery
chain I was told, "Yeah that water was recalled. Sorry about that." The next
time I buy bottled water I'll be looking at the date and I'll also be looking
to see if anything nasty is floating in it.



Mold in Bottled Water Poem

I bought some bottled water
and it seemed to be OK.
But I was quite wrong I really
must say.
The water appeared clear until
I saw a gross surprise. 
Something gray was floating
right before my very eyes.
I returned the moldy water to 
the major grocery chain.
Now I'll keep my eyes open
for gray nasty floaty things.

Wet Ones Wipes Versus Frozen Off-Brand Wipes






















I always have hand wipes in my car. I usually have two containers of hand
wipes, because I never want to run out. Anyway, one really cold morning
I tried to use my bargain brand wipes and the wipes were frozen. I opened 
the Wet Ones antibacterial hand wipes and the wipes worked perfectly.

The off-brand's active ingredient is benzalkonium chloride, but the Wet Ones
active ingredient is benzethonium chloride. That must explain the reason why
the cheap wipes were frozen and the Wet Ones weren't.

Doughnuts and a Fly

This fly just got done enjoying a delicious doughnut.




















When I was on my way out of the grocery store, I glanced over at the doughnuts
behind some glass, and I saw a nasty fly sitting on a blueberry glazed doughnut.
Thank goodness I never get doughnuts from this section of the store. I only buy
doughnuts from boxes, because I'm a hardcore germophobe. Even if you're not
a germophobe, I seriously doubt you want a fly enjoying your doughnut before
you do.



Doughnuts and a Fly Poem

A fly was on a doughnut and he was really happy.
Looking at the fly I thought that is very nasty.
He was eating on the glaze.
He was eating on the berries.
All I could think was this is gross and really kinda scary.
If you really want a doughnut go buy it from a box.
If you want one that's behind the glass I'll have to tell you stop.
