Aquium and Dettol

Those Aquium and Dettol hand sanitizers have got to be one of those backfiring inventions
Sure, they're a handy alternative to washing your hands when you're out at a picnic, and it can't hurt carrying it around in your bag (unless it spills everywhere- and Emily D is right: the stuff STINKS), but still, you have to consider that the main reason these no water needed handwashes are used, is to disinfect kid's hands right before they eat.

And any kid (or anyone, for that matter) who has ever eaten anything right after rinsing their hands in the stuff, will know that their food always tastes disgusting. In case you haven't already figured it out, it's when you accidentally touch your fingers to your lips when you're taking a bite, and then you can taste the really horrible soapy disinfectant taste. And then you get the disinfectant smeared over your mouth, so if you lick your lips, you can taste the strong soapy taste and it's horrible! And then once it's on your tongue the yuck taste can go over the inside of your mouth: your teeth, inside of cheeks....until your perfectly edible club sandwhich or Happy Meal starts to taste like a ghastly combination of chemical antibacterial agents and chicken nuggets (or whatever it is you're eating - either way, you can kiss it goodbye because food never tastes the same once you've got aquium/dettol on your hands to begin with).

My advice to you? Unless you're trekking through some deserted uninhabitated desert with no access to running water, then get off your lazy bum and just use the tap! Walking twenty metres to the tap won't kill you, and believe me, your lunch will taste a lot better! ^_^



That is all.

Oh, and by the way, does anyone know how to put music players onto blogspot? There are websites saying exactly how to do that, but I think I've signed up for 5 of them, none of which have worked. So somebody with a blog with music, please let me know how you did it.
