Thumbs up ShamWOW!

Ok, so I was @ one of the local Costco's here in Winnipeg and remembered I needed some paper towels. Grabbed a 8 pack or 10 pack or whatever of Bounty for $22.99. We go through 1 of those every month and a bit. I'm heading towards the check out and I see the Shamwow, and not a knock off, but the real deal. 4 x-large and 4 large for $19.99. On TV, I believe they go for the same price or more, plus shipping. So I'm like what the heck...put back the Bounty and buy the ShamWow!

1st impressions. Unreal! They were 3 bucks cheaper than the Bounty, and if I ONLY USE THEM AS PAPER TOWELS, the value would absolutely beat the crap out of traditional paper towels, however they can be used for a very wide variety of clean ups.

I used one right away to dry the dishes. Took care of a full sink load, and I couldn't ring this thing out. Where the hell did the water go!?

All these things have to do is last over a month and they've paid for themselves!

But I can tell you right now, these things will last longer than that!

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR A PICK THESE UP!

I only have one question.

Have you been saying "wow" every time you've used it?

That prostitute he beat needs money. Pick the Slap Chop up while you are at. Speaking of Slap Chop, have you seen it in Spanish? He throws the inferior product back and it actually knocks the blinds off the wall and lands in the sink. It made me LOL.

A friend of mine bought some of these when we were at a car show last year. On our way to lunch after the show, a couple bottles of Club Soda I had in the car broke all over the carpet in the back. We used the ShamWow on the carpets and they worked wonderfully.

My friend said they suck to dry a car, though, which is why he bought them.

My fiancee picked some of these up last week and yes, they are better than paper towels.

Do they amaze me? No, not really....

It's not that they amaze me, it's that for $20 bucks, they'll last longer than $200 bucks worth of paper towels.
