...in a thread I started about products with creepy names.

The blue "goo" doesn't help much. They might as well have just gone ahead and used brown.

No class, no dignity, no subtlety.

The other product I complained about was the sectional sofa named Love Sak. Having spent a career in health care, and hearing the myriad of euphemisms people have for body parts and body functions, Love Sak sounded to me like a euphemism for scrotum. "Let's go sit on the Love Sak." I don't think so, thanks anyway."

But not the ads.

The modern American diet is not conducive to proper digestion. For example, the oils (Soy, Cottonseed, Canola) used in almost all products today our body does not recognize and quickly eliminates them without proper digestion. Without proper digestion, the result is messy elimination. This is so widespread as to be chronic in many people thus the need for the product.

And probably not really flushable, no matter what the commercial says.

I already have my own dude wipes, available in rolls of 1000.

..baby wipes are close to 1/2 as expensive and they still do-the-job.
The American people need to stop falling for crap like:
special soap for dishes
special soap for ovens/refrigerators
special soap for dog or cat wipings .
special soap for feet, hands..etc.
and special soap for stainless steel..Oh Brother!
Be sure to buy special soap for your floor. Oh Brother! Part 2.

10. Those wipes are really bad for the environment

Toilet paper is meant to fall apart so that it doesn't clog up the city sewers. All the waxy high fiber tissues in wet wipes build up in city sewer systems and become breeding grounds for all kinds of evolving bacteria storms.

TP = good

resilient towels flushed down the toilet = bad
