Household Product Death Match: Mr. Clean v. Scrubbing Bubbles
I've been so very domestic lately...you all would be so proud. I even found myself watching and enjoying "The View" this morning. Of course, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy "The View" ever time I watch it...but, let's just keep that between you and me.
I did noticed one very peculiar thing while watching mom tv today. Cleaning supplies never cease to be improved upon. While last year, nothing could be better than the power of orange. This year, it seems that we are back to the dirt avenging dual-action cleaners...you know, the ones that put two different colored liquids side-by-side in order to demonstrate their superior filth busting skills?
I also have the daily privilege of catching glimpses of the insides of Americans' homes. Strangely enough, I just don't feel that these houses are getting any cleaner! I mean, come on folks. With all this awesome cleaning power at your finger tips, one would think that the average American's house would be blindingly shiny and completely void of bacteria. Maybe these people don't watch enough TV and just aren't aware of the improved tools available to them in 2004 that were sub-par in 2003. Maybe a door to door advertising strategy would be more effective.
Well. I can see there is still room for improvement.
As for me, I'm gonna stick to following the scientific breakthroughs of the personal care market. While I'll continue to try the improved wetness-fighting deodorants and gum-preserving toothbrushes, I've decided to hold out on buying a new razor until the 7 blade model debuts in 2007.

AAAAAH HA! So this is where you've been hanging out. I'd heard this blog casually mentioned before, but a certain 6 foot Luxembourger tipped me off to the actual site. I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to view your daily rants. Not only because I miss you terribly, but it also provides me with yet another opportunity to put off troublesome duties such as look for a real job, buy groceries or stop cowering in my apartment and get join the real world.
In response to your post. Scrubbing bubbles are a flash in the pan, but the Swiffer lady who does the robot to "Whip It" can take Mr. Clean out, I'm sure. That lady. I don't care how much she made for that commercial. I'm embarrassed for her and her entire family.
Look forward to more posts.

Damn...you found me. I guess all that camouflage paint I put on didn't do the trick. And if I wanted to remain more mysterious, I should stop gallivanting with the Luxembourgers. I miss you very much too...life just isn't the same here without you :(.
I see that you have also had your share of daytime TV...I think you're right about the Swifer lady, anyone who has those robot skills shouldn't be messed with.

Oh, the 6 foot burger hopes that mel-a-rific doesn't mind her passing on the path to this amazing blogspot. soon europe will be at a standstill every morning only b/c people will try to connect to this website. As far as cleaning goes i must say that dust and smelly hippies are part of what makes austin such a fabulous town, don't you think?

Hippies are dirty, patchouli smells funny and I don't like Phish...but, I guess it is a part of Austin.
I can't wait to see what Europe looks like when it's at a standstill!
