what things appear to be scams but are actually legit OxiClean horrible marketing but that shut works my dad bored literally about 50 buckets of the concentrate after testing hit first bottle and still uses it for everything plus when he uses it he talks like Billy Mays which is hysterical hi I'm red a dead feel rested and I'm here to show you how to clean patio chairs my uncle got a call saying he won a free TV he hung up and ignored the calls for weeks until someone came to his door apparently he was entered in a contest because he updated McAfee he did get 50-inch TV that's nice of him to not to qualify him from winning just for hanging up on them they did but they couldn't find any other McCaffrey user so they were forced to give it to him please take your goddamn 350 inch plasma already sir get away from me you son of a [ __ ] I don't want it it was a while ago so I'm not sure how true it was but I heard one time that a radio station was giving away free gas on April Fool's Day sounds like a fairly standard joke but the twist was that they actually were giving out free gas the joke was on everyone and thought it was a joke mr. Clean Magic Erasers and other melamine foam cleaning products it sounds kinda sketchy but damn if it's not effective the science behind it is brilliant it's silly troll eraser in a similar way to a pencil eraser the material breaks down and abrade soft immodestly hard material out of very fine cracks and textures the only trick to them life pro tip right here is to cut them into small pieces instead of using them like sponges using single strips or cubes for individual jobs will ensure you have a nice clean working surface for your next task I think some manufacturers mr. clean at least have started selling them in smaller break apart sizes off the shelf I know there's cheaper ones out there I'll list the mr. clean brand because it's the most recognizable melamine foamy razors as a whole are magnificent little things I use these on my white marching band shoes and they work wonders and I sound incredibly cool now my ducking emails I just need a quick loan and you'll be paid back tremendously you need more credit for this click here for a free credit report annual credit report.com not a scam 100% legit agreed I used to work for a credit card company and we recommended people there for their credit reports now freecreditreport.com on the other hand but fre that spells free credit report.com baby if france all over the country there is free with e which is a shitty company called free and does not offer free with e saw the magic bullet on a TV ad and thought it was a complete scam a friend got one in college and it turns out that it was really handy i think it also shares its name with those mini vibrators though i would watch that infomercial all the time I thought it was so hilarious with the crazy aunt and the guy nursing a hangover seriously it's worth a watch to pet products the Thunder shirt a neoprene jacket you put on to reduce anxiety in dogs and cats supposedly it gently squeezes them all over and really does work furminator brush a metal comb with tapered grooves that removes undercoat and reduces shedding it's not a surprise it works but how well it works the add photo with the husky surrounded by a giant pile of fur is exactly what happens Ubuntu another Linux distros you mean I can get a fully functional operating system for free just download it off the website and it's faster more secure and easier than Windows and it has thousands of free programs with it and they are offering more and more games that often play better on Linux and Windows sure whatever but it's true until gaming catches up with Linux I'm sticking to Windows it's too bad Microsoft seems to be abandoning gamers there are hot singles in your area there are they just aren't on the internet waiting for you are you from unknown proxy to junk my car calm my buddy hit a deer while out of town and ended up total in his car he had me double check this website for him because while the local junkyards would only give him two to $300 this site quoted him something like 1200 to 1400 dollars total scam right I couldn't find anything that stuck out to me either they even have a FAFSA book page with what looked like really awesome customer service so he went for it submitted the request online guy came out to him a day or two later with a truck look the car over to make sure everything checked out with the specs he submitted handed him a check and left with the car check cleared with no issues my guess is that they can give such a higher premium because they scrap the car and sell the parts online so they'll have a much higher turnaround either that or it's some really eccentric millionaire finding new ways to pass the time detergent parts doesn't look like enough detergent to clean a load of clothes but I'll be damned if it doesn't work it just goes to show you've been using way too much detergent I always used the amount indicated by following directions well according to a date that makes you a total dumb bus cheap or you should have chemically analyzed the substance yourself in your home lab and came up with your own ideal measurement based on that information companies like straight or for cell phones I seriously only pay $45 a month for unlimited everything for my google nexus 4 and also get great service since I have AT&T compatible SIM card with them basically my service runs off of AT&T towers just without me having to pay $100 a month it is cheap and in the long run saves you a lot of money the yellow that's colored cleaning spray called awesome at the dollar store I wouldn't use it without gloves but man that stuff works great there are other items under the same name that I have never tried them but the yellow stuff in the small spray bottles does and the toilet cleaner works really well too it's about the only thing I buy at the dollar store but it should be priced higher it kicks total ass sweepstakes just be sure to read the Official Rules before you enter and never pay to enter this is illegal ID chief I think the website may be shut down but if they used to make fake IDs so sketchy you'd fill out this form with your name birthday and state you wanted then they generate the rest you have to wire money to China so sketchy-looking but I know many people who have had decent IDs from there it is legit I was a doorman for a long time and a kid that came by a lot had a perfect PA license and I later found out he was underage I casually asked him about it one night and promised that he wouldn't get in trouble he said he used ID chief were the money etc a few weeks later he got a package from China with a non-functioning calculator in it he realized he got ripped off for $100 and smashed the calculator on the floor out popped the ID the calculator had no components inside just the plastic casing and ID the ID even scanned it was ducking perfect taxes ma'am do I hate it when Americans complain about taxes especially the proud to be American types you keep saying that freedom isn't free but we don't ducking pay for highways in soldier blood that shot costs money you get a fairly incredible transportation infrastructure libraries schools police firefighters and a government that addresses concerns at the federal state and municipal level you get potable water breathable air they keep turpentine out your booze and lead out of your aspirin you are safeguarded by a military force that is prepared to crash down on an aggressor at the first glimmer of a threat America is a country you want on your side in a fight but also pay attention to the lengths our military goes to prevent conflicts from erupting and to aid others during humanitarian disasters our government uses its incredible power to generate a favorable economic climate for innovation and worldwide trade thousands of programs and incentives to propel a fledgling business and to catch those hit by misfortune and don't get me started on the ancient Greek notions of civics that your country provided an environment of free thought economic security and Community Safety which contributed significantly to your growth and success as an individual how there you grow fat on the milk of American exceptionalism yet begrudge this nation you're fed use TLDR pay your goddamn taxes you ungrateful swine rain-x looks like a complete gimmick but if you put that stuff on and get up to 35 miles per hour or better the rain skitters right off your windshield without leaving a mark no wipers required it doesn't last too long only a few days but it's freakin magic right after its applied a few points I'd like to make as someone who has used drain X for about 20 years now first it will last a lot longer than a few days if you follow the directions to a tee if it's at all cooler temps when you apply it turn on your defroster for a while to heat up the window helps a lot when you get up to speeds that make the rain skitter off the windshield stop using the wipers this speed will vary depending on the angle of your window I know that sounds stupid but trust me you'll actually see better and the application will work longer don't bother with the rain-x brand anti fog it just doesn't work for short no matter how closely you follow the instructions I also use rain-x latitude wiper assemblies that I like quite a lot I've been using them for about five years now Bosch makes a similar higher-end windshield wiper assembly that I haven't used personally so I cannot speak to their value or performance lastly I've heard a couple makes rain-x appear as though a drunken money had smeared fesses over your window in comparison I can't personally speak to this as I cannot afford a propell
