febreeze is a scam
As we were watching TV last night and a febreeze commercial came on, I was reminded again of how much I hate this stuff.
It's not that I have anything again air fresheners, or the concept of them. It's really the marketing behind febreeze that bothers me.
It's festering, bullshit.
Febreeze does not magically make odors and dirt go away. There's a little principle called the law of conservation of matter that can't be circumvented here folks. Stuff does not just magically vanish because we think it's icky and spray some scented ionized water on it. All febreeze does is bond to the negativly charged ions in the odor and then nothing....it doesn't every go away, it just masks it. Let me show you some tests we recently did at Judd Labs.
After applying Febreeze to the shit stain, basically the only end result was that we made shit stain soup. The mass doesn't decrease even the slightest no matter how much you spray on it. And the same goes for carpeting. I don't give a damn how much febreeze you dump on it. The ground in crap, dirt, food and other stuff doesn't magically go away....and you sure as hell ain't gonna ever catch me down there sniffing it.
You want an air freshner...great. Want to mask...MASK the smell of cigarette smoke and other stuff great. But don't try to convince me that somehow Febreeze get's rid of the actual source of the odor. Your almost better off making your own febreeze....although personally I can think of better uses for vodka.
- [H]ard|OCP has done a review of the Dell XPS 400. The reason I post this is because just last week I spent about 2 hours uninstalling and cleaning up a brand new Dell for my eye doctor. Ironic, but the article hits the nail right on the head. - There is a new Christmas Light show making the internet rounds by a different person, but the strange thing is that it's using the same music as the original one. Personally I would think, if you went through all that trouble, why would you not want to be a little more different. - Here's a scary link to a motorcycle accident. Lot of disagreement about who's at fault here for this, but it didn't seem to me like the car was in a hurry...perhaps stopping in oncoming traffic lane wasn't the smartest thing to do.
