Things and products that we should avoid!

I didn't want to post this into the original thread, since it is not all that serious.

1. avoid super glue next to your bed! ~ its really difficult to call 911 for help
2. avoid Prep H on same shelf as toothpaste. ~i can whistle really good, but i can't even eat this jellybean.
3. avoid putting rat poison in the same cabinet as your spices. ~unless in-laws are coming over for a visit.
4. avoid cubic zircornia ~ trust me she knows.

Re: Things and products that we should avoid!

I'm kind of thinking that we should also do a sister thread, on things that are benificial, and give a 1 or 2 reasons why it works if possible.

I'm about to head off to work. If I think of anything along the way I'll post it.

Apparantly it contains Alcohol, which dries out the dash and what not.

For the price difference which is usually none your better off using another brand.

Why take a risk if you don't have to.

Re: Things and products that we should avoid!

I used it for years, shortly after it became popular, and never had any problems. But from what I understand I got lucky. Lots of friends cars ended up with cracked dashes during the same time.

I just figure now that it isn't worth it taking the chance.
