Seriously?: September 2009 Archives

Poof drops are supposed to be proactive (put some drops in the toilet first) rather than reactive (spraying air freshener afterward). Apparently these drops form a thin film on the toilet water's surface which contains the odors. A Japanese mint fragrance is released and 98% of odors are eliminated. Maybe these drops are amazing and will become a staple in bathrooms around the world. Or maybe they are a $15 rip off.

Bathroom air fresheners and odor neutralizers aren't anything new, but Poof has a bottle shape and size that you normally don't associate with air freshener. If you're carrying this bottle someone might ask "Hey, can I borrow your contact lens solution?" and you'll have to be all "Oh, sorry, those aren't eye drops, those are poo drops." I just don't see people carrying this around in their pocket.

Yes, we all know that picking up your dog's poo is not the most pleasant task in the world. I mean, it's poo. No one wants to pick that stuff up.

HOWEVER, if you have any compassion whatsoever for your dog, you will not make him wear the PooTrap. I mean, just look at the thing! Do I really need to explain why this is ridiculous? I actually think this might be worse torture than dressing your dog in sweaters and shoes. How embarrassing for your poor dog (and you too, honestly). And it cannot possibly be comfortable.

Your dog is your best friend. It's always there for you, through thick and thin, giving you completely unconditional love. The least you can do is spare him the PooTrap and pick up his poo yourself.
