noob Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 ... virtually all dentists will tell you to pick up an Oral-B, otherwise you may as well be brushing with your own dick. But does it really have to be this hard?
new2me Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Hahahaha! I was thinking the other day about the old Selsun Blue commercials (I don't know why this popped in my head...) They put Selsun Blue on one half of the subject's hair, and "the leading competitor" on the other half. The subject pointed to the Selsun Blue side and exclaimed "I know this one's working because it tingles!" I'm wondering what evidence there is that tingling has anything to do with controlling dandruff. What? There isn't any?? But I beg to differ on toilet paper. Maybe there is not that much difference between the better brands, but I'm not using that one-ply generic brand sandpaper on my delicate tushy.

Cardboard and leather binders to old books don't work as well as the soft, plushy, kind charmin ultra.
Sheerbliss Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Others that could have been added: different brands of gasoline, mascara, and "sports" drinks. The last is some combo of water, sugar, flavoring and minerals. Energy drinks: same thing, but with caffeine and maybe some nutrients. Water: the bottled stiff is no better for you than the stuff out of the tap (unless your supply is contaminated), although it might taste better. The biggie is handbags. A $3 bag from Goodwill will hold your stuff just as well as a $500 Coach purse. I disgree about the shampoo, though. Some are a lot more watery than others, and some have detergent that strips too much oil out of your hair. If the $1 a bottle Suave worked for me, believe, me, I'd use it.
Vigile Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 In Russia, Calgon claims that if you use the competitor's brand of dish wash soap cubes your pipes will rot and your kitchen will be destroyed.
mwc Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Something in some deodorants causes me a strange rash so there is some difference to some of these things I guess. mwc
