Lost 5 kg from not drinking soft drinks, eh? I'll try that, not that I drink them all of the time.

Since you're talking about hygiene products and the like, I suppose I'll include shampoo.

Pert Plus- Oh, this is the only shampoo I've found that the commercials don't lie about. It works wonders.

Head and Shoulders- Pshaw. That's all I have to say about it.

Celsun Blue- Increases your dandruff. It shall die a terrible death.

Wow, I thought when my grandmother told me that she was trying to be overly interesting.

Doctors dispensed cocaine as an antidote to morphine addiction. Unfortunately, some of their patients made a habit of combining both.

Cocaine was soon sold over-the-counter. Until 1916, one could buy it at Harrods: a kit labelled "A Welcome Present for Friends at the Front" contained cocaine, morphine, syringes and spare needles. Cocaine was widely used in tonics, toothache cures and patent medicines; in coca cigarettes "guaranteed to lift depression"; and in chocolate cocaine tablets. One fast-selling product, Ryno's Hay Fever and Catarrh Remedy ("for when the nose is stuffed up, red and sore") consisted of 99.9 per cent pure cocaine. Prospective buyers were advised - in the words of pharmaceutical firm Parke-Davis - that cocaine "could make the coward brave, the silent eloquent, and render the sufferer insensitive to pain".

When combined with alcohol, the cocaine alkaloid yields a further potently reinforcing compound, now known to be cocaethylene. Thus cocaine was a popular ingredient in wines, notably Vin Mariani. Coca wine received endorsement from prime-ministers, royalty and even the Pope. Architect Frédérick-Auguste Bartholdi remarked that if only he had used Vin Mariani earlier in his life, then he would have engineered the Statue of Liberty a few hundred meters higher.

Coca-cola was introduced in 1886 as "a valuable brain-tonic and cure for all nervous afflictions". Coca-cola was promoted as a temperance drink "offering the virtues of coca without the vices of alcohol". The new beverage was invigorating and popular. Until 1903, a typical serving contained around 60mg of cocaine. Sold today, it still contains an extract of coca-leaves. The Coca-Cola Company imports eight tons from South America each year. Nowadays the leaves are used only for flavouring since the drug has been removed.

Oh, lol, I just remembered one thing we did in Science class in 8th grade. Drop a can of Diet Coke and a can of regular Coke in a bucket/tub of water/swimming pool, the regular Coke will sink, but the Diet will float.

Nads Hair Removal (the green molasses stuff) hurts like a mother, and the hair doesn't come off evenly.

At Great America, if you put a penny on your knee and ride topgun and they find out, they will kick you out of the park.

For good reason! Objects flying around at that velocity could hurt someone. Same reason why you can't drop things from the Empire State Building.

Clorox bleach pens don't work. At least not the one I have. I was trying to use it to clean around the sink in our bathroom, and I even left it on for 15 minutes. Looked exactly the same as when I started.
