disappointed with my toilet bloo
June 6th 2008 12:02
i bought a Jeyes Bloo Long Life Cistern (100g) about 5 weeks ago and it has already run out . . . it claimed to last 5 MONTHS . . . what a rort!
ive been actively monitoring the toilet in question as the claim of 5 MONTHS seemed amazing, i felt like i had got a real bargain, but i was a little cynical about the magical powers of the toilet bloo . . .
could it stand up to the amazing claims on the packet?
short answer: NO!
false advertising!
although with all consumer products these days the key to the amazing claims is in those two little words "UP TO" . . . i guess in a lab somewhere under some extraordinary conditions the cistern block could last the distance, but certainly not at my house
its a bit like red hair dye . . . UP TO 24 WASHES . . . amazing right?
but in reality most likely 90% washed out in under 2 weeks lol
its a disappointing business going to the supermarket, nothing lasts and all the products lie
oh well . . .

i was expecting someone to tell me to put the bloo in my hair and the red in the loo LOL
i think id rather be told the average lasting time than the upper limit . . . but i guess if everyones doing it poor old toilet bloo needs to get in on the action to be competitive
i love your puns as usual!
nice to see you

"silky smooth legs for up to six weeks!"
Yeah right. You'd be lucky to get six days.
Ah advertising. Love those guys.

haha that is so true!
i also find that continental side dishes (like packet pasta or rice) greatly overestimate the amount of serving per packet . . . actually dont even get me started on serving sizes! lol

no you wouldnt want to use loo bloo, it doesnt last nearly long enough!
sometimes a person just wants to look like a smurf or a cookie monster and get some value for money dammit!

Morgan, do you mind if I borrow the Bloo for a Demented World investigation?
I'd like to attempt to prove that trying to make it last for 5 months will make your bladder explode
Just say the word!

i find the little things sometimes provide a sigh of relief from always thinking about the big things!
good luck with the toilet repairs . . . it is an essential system to have out of order!
