Sunday Coupons

The inevitable march of shaving progress and capitalistic competition has led from the Gillette Mach3 to the Schick Quattro. I don't know how they can make a four-bladed razor head swing around the chin smoothly, but they're willing to give away a free razor (after a freakin' mail-in rebate, blah) for me to find out.

A full-page ad/coupon for Fruit2O: The #1 selling flavored water in America. All the artificial flavors, none of the calories! I guess it's suppose to appeal to soda-addicted Atkins freaks.

Now I can buy a "sweet" drink and enjoy it without sacrificing my insulin intake or affecting my ketosis. Thank you Fruit2O!

I've been using Palmolive dish-soap forever, partly out of brand-loyalty (bolstered by the occasional coupon), partially out of dull inertia, and mostly because one large bottle lasts me just about forever, thanks to the dishwasher alternative. The bottle does get slippery and funky with soapy drippings over the months and years, but now there's a clean and convenient alternative. The (New!) Palmolive Dishwipes are triple-layered disposable cloths infused with Palmolive dish detergent. Just wet to get the sudsy goodness going, wipe down your dishes, then throw away (the cloth, not the dishes). If that was too complicated for you, here's a product demonstration video. Note the last step. Don't forget to throw it in the trash when you're done!
