The Blue Sea

So last Saturday Josh and I headed to the grocery store, which we do every other Saturday. It is a really a big event and we never miss an isle...though some are favored more than others. Especially the cleaning products one, 509, Clorox wipes, carpet cleaner, swifter, I mean we really love it all...and by we I mean Josh, but I am extremely supportive of his OCD for cleaning. So like any other great couple I am now active in his hobbies...which includes shopping for new cleaning supplies.

Well I was looking at the more creative items that are on the market when I came across toilet cleaners. '2000 FLUSHES' caught my eye...you know one of those blue tab things that you put in the back of your toilet...and yes your bathroom is instantly turned into a fancy truck stop when your toilet water turns blue for the first time.

Regardless I bought it and rushed home to get started. Put it in and flushed it once...1,999 flushes to go. I became instantly committed to this product when the water rushed in blue again. Later in the week I even caught myself trying to think of ways to pack this back up when we leave Alaska in two years, zip lock perhaps?...I mean 2000 flushes!

Well I think we know how this story ends...27 flushes later little girl got played...the bright blue turned to light blue by flush 16. The light blue turned to a strange green by flush 26. The strange green turned to regular old toilet water by flush 27.

I mean really, lieing would have been '50 FLUSHES'...why so extreme toilet-blue-tab-product-company?
