clever snake oil product that made no claims hat could be disproven, AND had a money back guarantee.





now I'm wondering what the stuff was they were selling. Chalk dust? Talc powder? Baking soda?

  1. I wonder too, but I recall that way back when, the school janitor always had some kind of mystery red powder that he pushed ahead of the broom when sweeping the halls, which were tiled with some kind of asphalt tiles. It looked as if it was slightly absorbent and made to put a little sheen on the surface, so perhaps it was sweeping compound!

    1. the school janitor was sweeping up broken dreams, dashed hopes, and imagination. Yes, that's absorbent, and was probably a bit like fine talc, giving the floor a bit of a polish. Lol

    1. thank you, I've been lucky to often work with clever people who are looking for amusing quips and unexpectedly fun replies. It's one of many joys of good company that I've only had online in many years. Making fun of the difficult and stressful qualities of life is one of the few silver linings to the dark clouds
