Purposeless Products

[raynipper]

Thanks, Ray. What Chinese copy are you using? For how long? Is it reliable?

Colin ???

Hi Colin, It's a Kingzone N5 and about two years now.
It is dual SIM which is great for us to have a French and UK SIM's installed.
It has Android Lolipop 5.1 and apart from the screen in bright sunlight and the tinny audio, it's fine.
Of course it might be my ears.?

The video is very informative if you mute the sound. The camera options are infinite.

You must have noticed personal hygiene products with additives that give flavour or association with a totally unrelated experience.

Apple flavoured shampoo. Who's drinking this stuff? A Purposeless Product.
'Relaxing' wheatgerm soap. I want something that removes two or three days worth of grime. Another Purposeless Product.

Do you know of equally daft additives or associations whether or not in personal hygiene products?

I always found edible knickers pretty useless on warm days your bum would eat them as you walked

"New & Improved" usually means we have messed it up and now you will break out into a rash.

Probably.
Or 'We've noticed that sales are slipping so we've stuck this jaunty, slanting extra label on the top right hand corner of the tin. Everything else is unchanged'.

Yes, how did they, Barrie. Clearly a Purposeless Product. Whatever it is.

To my mind an electric tin opener period. On the other hand if the owner has a problem using a more conventional manual tin opener........

Been using these for many years now.....................no electrickery required and no sliced fingers.

This is absolutely true!
Fish knives and forks. These were invented by the cutlery trade when everyone had bought their cutlery sets to make the manufacturers a few more bob.
Think Apple might have copied this marketing plan!

Got one just like that, but cos i'm a leftie it can be a problem to use.

 

[teejay]

Yes! I am l/h too and have looked for a l/h opener for years without success but I think I am so used to using the r/h that I just do it now without thinking. The best thing about these for me is, before I found it, I used to put opened jagged edged tins into 'black bag' rubbish as I didn't want to risk cutting myself. Since the safety opener, they are all washed and put in recycling bags.

I use the oven sheets in crafting when I am playing with inks and papers making backgrounds - dont use them in the oven.
