Consumer Tip On
What Not To Buy!
News Brief


Vim

I like to keep my home tidy and smelling fresh. Vim is supposed to be the typical dream product. You are told on the label that it cleans bathtubs and sinks without too much elbow grease. Well, was I surprised when it worked like crap. I tried it in my bathtub, which looked like it had been home to a gang of pigs. I dabbed the cream on and rubbed it into the finish of the white tub. Well, in a couple of minutes, I had removed all the dirt, and the enamel as well. Cripes, the tub was now black, and I had to pay a guy 200 bucks to repaint it to it's original finish. And don't get this stuff in your eyes ! Man !!!! Does it ever burn...I was blind for 2 whole hours after I decided to scratch my eyelid and accidentally got some on my eyeball. Here's a piece of advice - don't look for a miracle product. use a regular cleanser and if you really want to keep the tub looking new, clean up after every bath. Get rid of that ugly ring immediately after letting the water out.

Doctor uses Nose to sniff out Medical Problems

Pretoria - A doctor in South Africa has had his license suspended after patients complained about his strange antics in the office. Dr Wallace Kolmee is being investigated for medical practices which do not conform to the standards of the medical community. Says Martha Johnanner - " As soon as I sat on the examination table, he started sniffing me all over. Like a dog...his nostrils were flaring and he was smelling my head, my stomach, every part of me. I was horrified...". He claims that he is able to smell any medical problem - " Sure I know what I'm doing....Cancer smells like cabbage, a cold or flu smells like oranges, and intestinal problems smell like chocolate cake... I can determine the nature of ANY ailment". says the doctor. But the medical community is not amused. " Personally, I think he's a danged Freako ! Sniffing like a crazy pooch...what kind of damned doctor is he ?" said Dr. Mitch Bantani of the Mambalo Medical Center. But the doctor is firm in his convictions and says he will maintain the sniffing to save lives.
