Two recent
products that make me very
angry, neither of which are at all
necessary, and both of which lack a "not tested on animals"
disclaimer:
- FIT Fruit and Vegetable Wash (Procter & Gamble Inc.)
(My mother bought a bottle, guileless and vulnerable consumer that she is.)
Says non-toxic all over the bottle (good thing too: it's a wash for food!) So far the self-test spray on the tongue proves this claim right (no taste either).
A new product (FIT) to counteract the effects of old products (pesticides)? Can P&G manufacture a slide for this new slippery slope, too?
- Step One Toothbrush Cleanser (Harpp Industries Inc.)
(Seen in a neighbour's bathroom)
A spray-on toothbrush cleanser. The label says it kills up to 95% of common contaminants found on toothbrushes that are not removed with "normal" water cleansing. Meant to be sprayed on the toothbrush prior to cleaning teeth.
Why, why, why not just get a new toothbrush, if this sort of thing worries you? Anyone who can afford to buy this ridiculous product can certainly afford a new toothbrush every few weeks.
