Title: What will they think of next?
Post by: Kev D on March 20, 2017, 01:54:34 PM
I saw an advert for a product called V.I.Poo at the weekend, which I thought was a wind up until I saw a TV advert for the same.  Who thinks up this stuff?

It's supposed to be sprayed on the water in the toilet and stops the smell emanating when you go for a proper bog burner.

Yeah, I saw that as well and couldn't quite believe it. :facepalm:  The advertising is just weird as well, who is going to think their favourite celeb is carrying this around in their handbag?

It will be the new question in celeb interviews, what flavour of vi.poo do you use so the super-fans can use the same one.

The advert should be sponsored by pataks or some other curry/spicy food manufacturer

This has ruined my day.

Everything about it is wrong.


I wonder if I get can a "Pre-Blood and Guts Spray" for my woodchipper so I can use it before I put someone through it after I catch them using this?

Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but products like this frustrate me to no end.

It kind of reminds me of the South Park episode with the Chipolaway.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, that's probably for the best.....

If it works - It sounds like a great idea to me - Speaking as someone who is constantly complained to about the problem this product allegedly fixes.

As with any problem in life - The closer to the root cause you can get to fix it - The better
- And short of not going at all - This solution gets as close as you could get I'd say - If the smells never escape above the water - Bingo!!

Just checked Amazon - Don't ship to Oz - Might have to find me an Oz distributor !!  :tu:  ;)  :salute:

Agreed Gareth - It's brilliant - Very funny and very clever - ie switching the topic of discussion to unicorns and ice-cream and brilliantly acted

Reminds me of this:

Please remove if language is not appropriate and accept my apologies.

For the record, a collegue I worked with a few years back had some intestinal issues and she would go sit on the throne often. Now, I'm not one to complain about such human things -after all, most of the time I could hold myself for about twenty minutes after she'd flushed or cover my nose and take a dive if really necessary, but that particular case was atrocious. It's one of the cases where such products might come in handy, though I'm not sure how many people really need them.

On a side note, people that treat public restrooms as if they were swamps really bother me. I worked at a couple of bars in my early twenties and I can attest that women are the absolute champions of gross for that matter :ahhh

I'm a bathroom fan. I love stinking up bathrooms, especially someone else's. Of course the trick is to be the first.

I'm glad that I don't need such a product because when I go it smells like sweet magnolias.

Mine too, except exchange the words "sweet magnolias" with "sweaty gorillas" and it's bang on....
