Air fresheners. The ads are all over TV about how we absolutely have to have air fresheners -- in every room in the house, in our cars.........everywhere. These products actually pulsate and kick in and out, depending on what smelly thing or being passes by. What's up with that? I know no one who uses them. I mean, how slovenly a homemaker do you have to be to need air fresheners?
They obviously spend millions advertising this product. Why is that? Hey, clean your house, wash your clothes, deal with your garbage and you don't need plug-ins. Seen the ads where people are blindfolded and asked to describe the smell of garbage and dirty laundry amid which they sit? "It smells like flowers, like fresh laundry," they rhapsodize. Nope, it's your garbage, your underwear and a week's worth of sneakers. Pulling off the blindfolds they all laugh uproariously. "I thought I was in a flower garden" Seriously. Please.
This product must pollute. It is made of chemicals, afterall...and you're talking to someone who used to work for the biggest chemical company of all: DuPont of Canada.
p.s. I will not be blogging for most of October, hence the many I am doing right now.

You are positively correct. Never realized
ReplyDeletebut as usual you are dead on. The millions they spend. Can you imagine if they used that money to clean up the environment??
Are you not going to be calling me on my birthday? in October??
Yes, indeed. Millions could better the environment, but they want to sell chemicals.
ReplyDeleteNo darling, we will be galavanting most of October. Houston, Hawaii and Regina -- what a motely crew of destinations! I may be able to blog a bit here and there, but not regularly.
