Pointless question...

Why is the bubble-blowiing wand in a gigantic bottle of "Bubbles" too short to reach and take it out without dumping at least half of the bubble solution all over the place during the attempt???x( :+


Thanks for allowing this trivial rant.


:)
 
It's a conspiracy. Has to do with Roswell and Area 51 and aliens. True story.

They're watching.

Thanks Shelley! I have a couple of pie crusts in the freezer. I could go bake a pie, eat all of it and put the aluminum pan on my head. Oh Shell, you've saved my life (and given me a really good reason to bake and eat pie:9).
 
I'd like a slice of pie!! --lol!

Now, will somebody please tell me why pump bottles never have a long enough tube to get all the goop out of the bottom of a bottle?

ETA Melody, if you bake multiple pies may I have one of the foil pie pans for protection:p :7

Oh Michele! I'm on a personal mission not to be duped by the lotion manufacturers who "shorten the pump tubes". I pound on the bottle with the remaining "unreachable" body lotion to dump it into a jar and don't let an ounce go to waste. They're not getting the better of this sistah...lol.

BTW, I'll gladly share pies and pans with ya.:7
 
If you have to dump some of the bubble liquid out, then you will need to purchase more sooner!

I am currently fighting the battle with my lotion bottle and it receives plenty of &^%(*^*&^(* words every morning. :p
 
Another question is: "How does the last of the hair conditioner defy gravity in the bottom of the bottle even when it's been upside down for days and days????"
 
Oh, Melody, have I got a device for you. The Drip-It!

My DH (DT to you) is one of those people who has to get every last bit of everything out of a container before he can throw it away. His mother was the same way. He found this device called a "Drip-It". It's like a little funnel that holds one bottle upside down on top of another bottle so you can just leave it to drip overnight. He was so excited about it, he bought one for his mother too. She loved it. When she died, he inherited hers. Now he has two. He uses BOTH of them all the time. I'll have to find out where he got the thing, and send you the link. :+

Mel, I knew you would want to join the Drip Club ;) :p :+

ETA: I'm back to tell you how it's done, as I've watched the master at work. You save the old bottle of ketchup. You open a new bottle of ketchup and use it for a bit. When there is enough space in the new ketchup, you do a Drip-It of the old bottle into the new bottle. So you never waste a drop. :+ :p

I am, of course, refraining from judgmental commentary on this activity. ;)
 
See, here's the problem with that theory. It doesn't take into account the accumulation on the "shoulders" of the bottle. This is why, as Amy pointed out, even when you turn the darn things upside down, you STILL miss some. It collects on the shoulders and doesn't ever drip down into the neck.

My solution for this (with lotion anyway) is to cut the top of the bottle off completely and scoop the rest of the lotion out with your fingers. Messy, but essential for morons like me who can't stand to waste a single drop of whatever is in the bottle.

I'm going back under my desk now. Go on about your business.
