- Reese Witherspoon Model has apparently not been informed of the dangers of nasal irrigation.
Hey, did you know your neti pot could be giving you a bad case of brain-eating amoebas?
Here are some other things from Whole Foods that could kill you:
1. Kool Ranch Kale Chips, if you are allergic to kale, cashews, or Kool Ranch.
2. Bottles of Tejava iced tea, which may be chockablock with glass shards.
3. Cheese samples old enough to begin sweating condensation, probably.
This reminds me of the kombucha drought of aught 10. http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/Blogto…
That can’t be Reese Witherspoon because nasal irrigation is impossible thanks to her long, dagger-like chin.
I was told by my doctor to try using a neti pot to help me breath better (Fruit Cup fun Fact! I cannot breath reliably through my nose – years of allergies!). When I asked about the directions indicating that these be used with distilled water, she told me it wasn’t necessary and that warm tap water was fine.
Needless to say, I haven’t really used it – and this makes me pretty happy I haven’t. Brain eating amoeba, definitely NOT awesome.
Also. I was going to make a pun about this using salient in place of silent, i.e. silent killer. But then I remembered that saline (solution) is different than salient. Boy oh boy am I glad I missed that opportunity to make an ass out of myself.
I like that the article you linked describes the neti pot, thus: “A neti pot, which looks like a small genie lamp-“. Isn’t it interesting that you can describe an object sold at most drug stores by referring to a much rarer object just because it’s been depicted so much in media? It’s almost as if Americans are completely out of touch with their surroundings and reality in general.
@5: That’s not interesting at all.
To be fair, reality is just the worst.
I just use a pharmacy bought pulverizer when my allergies start to act up.
Ovidius for CotW.
If your brain were replaced by a single, huge amoeba, you could possibly still talk as well as Rick Perry.
The freaking PRICES at Whole Foods will kill you more than anything
What’s the problem with genie lamps, @5? Don’t genie’s, as well as any other creature from myth or legend, have the inherent human right to see things in their darkened bedchambers at night? Especially if, now, I’m just throwing this out there, look like Barbara Eden ca. 1968 or so? Where is our sense of equanimity? Oh, the huge manatee!
Other than that, @6 nailed it. No, it’s not very interesting.
I watched a video of a woman demonstrating a neti pot once, and she was looking in the mirror with this glazed expression, and I remember thinking, ‘If I wanted to spread brain-controlling organisms via an already-gullible public, that’s exactly how I’d do it’.
The problem here, as all serious students of super-villainy will note, is that our mastermind is spreading ‘brain-DESTROYING’ amoebae. Trouble with hyper-intelligent supervillains is, they always ‘over think’ it. It’s like Attila the Hun said when he was surveying the smoldering ruins of the invaded town to his son, with whom he tasked the operation: ‘No, no, no! I’ve I’ve told you ONCE, I’ve told you TWO OR THREE TIMES (Huns didn’t hold much for counting very high), first you rape, then you pillage, THEN you burn!’
But then, supervillains always did go for the big show, yes?
