Products to avoid
 

Bluebonnet margarine.

Eww. Does not melt well. Looked really nasty when used for making scrambled eggs.

Butter in scrambled eggs? New to me...

Thank you for starting this thread. Black & Decker GH1000. I'm talking POST recall. Bought one last week and took it back a few hours later. U S E L E S S

Calls into question ANY "dual-string, auto-feed" mechanism.

Elvive Colour Protect Shampoo.
Tangled my hair so badly I thought I was going to have to have it cut.

The irony being it is designed for damaged hair.
My hair wasn't all that damaged until I used it.

Right up there with the Garden Weasel.

"It makes a great gift"

Smoothie makers - any of them.

It's just a food blender and you probably already have one of those, if you don't you can buy one for half the price or less.

I had the same experience with a hair treatment for damaged hair. After the "treatment" my hair felt like steel wool that had been run through a garbage disposal full of superglue. I think the stuff was called Infusium.

"Infusium" ... lol ... that yells "made up crap" straight away.

I will be avoiding any products by Western Digital. (which name of course shouts "made in China" very loudly).

The Garden Weasel is a blessing from God. See, ya take the big long handle off, and replace it with a little short handle. Then it fits in the backpack right beside the sprouting solution, and the little sack of seeds. Then, when you're in the farmer's field, all ya gotta do is roll the Weasel back & forth a few times, drop a seed or five, dribble a little sprout fuel on there, cover up, and you're ready to move on.

That's what I've heard, anyway...:)

I guess you really are from Kentucky. :)

Butter -hell yes

Margarine -hell no

Butter to grease the pan, yes.
Butter as an ingredient...? How does that work?

La Preferida spanish rice mix - tastes like salt and nothing else.

Old El Paso Spanish rice - the one where you just heat up the package in the micro. It's inedible.

Stir a couple slim shavings into the eggs cooking in the pan so they melt into the rest of it. The butter doesn't scorch, that may be why.

Whatever the brand, every time I tried to heat a dish with rice in the microwave oven, it comes out hard as a block of wood.

Zout! I am not even sure why this is on the store shelf.

Try Soilove instead...its not bad. Otherwise I hate all spot treatments, they're all scams.

I bought it to try on a spot of berry smoothie that ended up on the carpet.I've cleaned it so much I've fluffed out the fibers in a bad way. I might try spilling milk on it and see if that works.

I use Woolite Oxy Deep to spot clean my carpet. If the stain is a bit tough, leave it in a bit longer. I find this pretty good.

You know those little half-size Ziploc baggies, they call 'em 'snack bags'? Well, these ain't that. I don't know what they are...Momdigr found 'em at one of those everything's-a-dollar stores.

"More fresher than ever!"

Hey, they're recloseable. What more do you want from a snank bag?

Reopenable?

Grav Dude , Them Little baggies are Weed Bags

Too heavy.

I get the 'rents to buy me Tesco Value Freezer Bags for in-between-cleans of Diz's litter tray. As poopie-scoopers they work just fine, but for anything more I wouldn't trust them.

FTR I double bag the scooping hand, and always wash thoroughly afterwards.
Still, for 55p for 50 I can't grumble.

You can make that plastic bag airtight.

Cool.

Why not just put them in the bottle?

Can't argue with that.

Putting them in the bottle allows too much air in with them, they'll still get stale. The bottle top in reusable.

plus, to get them in the bottle you would have to find your funnel.

The plastic bag is a lot like thread tape when you're installing a new shower head. Extra leakage protection!

And besides, cutting things up with sharp scissors is FUN!

Even better if you do it while running.

... while on a plane on a treadmill?

Which could be made out of the SNANK bag by cutting a diagonal hole in one of the bottom corners. :right:

Look at the spilled liquid on the rug. Kind of misses the point of a funnel.

lol. It was the first pic I found.

ETA - That spillage was from BEFORE he made the funnel. Yeh that it, from before.

Oh he didn't spill that from the bottle....


..exciting stuff!




(ew)

Regarding the pic: that will come in very handy the next time you need to transfer water from a plastic bottle to, um, well...another plastic bottle. :confused:

[/thread drift] But I think you'll find that SG was using SNANK bags to protect her hand from cat poop :turd:.
Though, of course, a SNANK bag is probably the ideal funnel to use if you wish to store your cat poop :turd: in a bottle ...

Uh, expand your view. Its a funnel. Many uses apply.

No doy, Tim Moy...

Uh, expand your sense of humor.

It's still stupid. I'd like to see you replace your oil in your car with that flimsy piece of necessity as mother of bad and pointless invention. A rolled up piece of cardboard from that case of beer would do a better job. :rolleyes:

But your cardboard won't fit in your pocket will it?
(you haven't see the Paper Towel infomercial, have you?)

I have great big pockets! :)

No, I haven't seen that 'mercial. Is it a Ronco product? Does it really really work? :D

no - its a take off on the sham wow -

MUST HAVE SOUND

Product To Avoid
 

So, I bought this pretty cheap ($8.99/liter) bottle of vodka New Year's Eve. I took one shot, one, and immediately went for the orange juice. Must mix, no shots. Then I looked at the label. No wonder it tastes like lighter fluid. I had (inadvertantly) purchased a bottle of fine Kentucky vodka!? W.T.F.

Taaka - must be Russian for thoroughbred piss.:vomitblu::repuke::vomit:

:yum: maybe we should email that post to taaka@sazerac.com?

well, they do love to hear from their customers!

Yeah, but he's not a customer any more. :haha:

Something else I won't be drinking again as long as I live:

Fat Tire Amber Ale

Beautiful labels & cartons, but :greenface.

I had to look this up.
Anal leakage.

Nice.

Yep. Gotta pass on the escolar.

So which bulbs do you choose ?

Attachment 43289

Here is a link to a comparison chart that may be useful...

Since I don't know what any of that means or what the implications to my life might be, I'll have to answer :idea: "I dunno."

LEDs have a lot of promise, and they keep getting better. But the purchase price is still very high, and the color of the light is critical. Most of the LEDs out there are too blue. And most are spotlights instead of globe lights. I think they are still not ready for prime time.

Also the chart lists 100 and 150 watt bulbs under the incandescent column, but you can't buy those any more. I think even 75 watt bulbs are off the shelves now.

30 bulbs, who are they talking about, Al Gore? :eyebrow:

What are the beady little headlights in the luxury cars made of? They're pin-pointy, too bright, and if one is following you you are blinded in intervals as the car goes over various bumps.

I don't want those. Those can bite me.
