Product Description

Review

"Dry your freshly-polished nails with Pam. Kill garden slugs with Miller High Life. Scrub your toilet with Tang. Clean your wallpaper with Wonder Bread. Remove gum from your hair with Miracle Whip -- then wash it with Reddi-Whip. This wild and wacky compendium features hundreds of alternative uses for your favorite store-bought products. And save room for Jell-O -- use it to dye your kids hair!" -- Entertainment Report, April 17, 1998

"Joey Green's Encyclopedia of Offbeat Uses for Brand-Name Products offers hundreds of odd uses everything from Alberto VO5 conditioner to Ziploc storage bags. The general cleaning section alone spans more than 20 pages. Some recommendations . . . are truly inspiring. Suggested toilet bowl cleaners include Alka-Seltzer or Efferdent, Coca-Cola, and Tang." -- David A. Steinberg, San Francisco Chronicle, June 10, 1998

"The book organizes material from Green's earlier books by use instead of by product and includes hundreds more uses." -- Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette, April 23, 1998

"The wizard of weird uses for brand-name products.... To Green, the astounding uses people have found for household products are a tribute to American ingenuity. But he does more than simply list unusual, practical uses for everyday products. He also provides tons of little-known factoids about products, debunking rumors along the way." -- Pam Noles, Los Angeles Times, February 4, 1999

"While all the uses are offbeat, the vast majority make sense, mainly to help the beleaguered householder.... The chapter on Insects and Pests is especially useful, partly because Green's ideas can work and the products used are in most bathrooms and kitchens... One of the best chapters is on Workshop and Repairs, because it covers things that handymen would like to know.... It is a great book to pick up and find something to solve a problem that you might just be having right now. Green spices up his book with sidebars and short features on such things as how various brand names got their names, 'What Exactly Is Epsom Salt?' 'The Stories Behind the Logos, 'Honey Never Spoils,' and other marvelous tidbits of useless information." -- Peter C. Hotton, The Boston Sunday Globe, May 17, 1998
