Saw A Commercial Over The Weekend. What?

[ProfessorGAC]

So, i'm laying on the couch around 3am. Audio is on, but TV is off so i hear the commercial. I can't believe what i'm hearing.

So, i turn the TV on, and review the DVR.

For the "Bug-a-Salt". A table salt shooting air gun to kill flies. No, i'm not kidding. Saw it with my own eyes.

Shooting salt around the house to kill flies!

Commercial starts with a doom and gloom "Flies carry chloera, tuberculosis, dysentary. . ." blah blah blah. Then they demonstrate the "gun".

Unbelievable.

1. Okay, I am severely tempted to get this for one of my nephews.

Possibly two. It looks amusing and safe.

Only negative - the gentleman has at least one website that shall not be named as reference.... Hmm....

2. My nephew has one!

When his son told me about it I thought he was kidding...a gun that shoots salt??? No way!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

3. It Was A WTF Moment For Me

See the first reply! That poster's nephew is getting one.

15. Mountain folk have been chasing away varmints, trespassers, and unwelcome suitors

with shotguns loaded with salt for ages.

[Suich]

16. Yeah, I knew that.

I'd just never heard of one to use inside to get flies and bees.

btw, my nephew is recently retired and looking for new things to do!

6. you are the freaking MASTER

[ProfessorGAC]

7. A Chemistry Joke! Great!

Right up my alley! Although i'm an organic chemist, it still works for me!

[surrealAmerican]

8. Probably great for seasoning from a distance too.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Yeah, Who Wants To Get Close To Food?

Well, except for the eating part.

10. Imagine the waiters at the Olive Garden...

Salt? Pepper?

BAM! BAM!

[LWolf]

11. This would make a great gift to kids

whose parents you don't like.

Imagine all the salt to clean up around the house.

I have a student who'd like it. The same one that told me I shouldn't rely on my cat to get rodent intruders, but I should "shoot the mice." In my house.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Fire Away, Wolf!

What, you too good to pop off a few rounds into your wallboard? Why do you hate guns?

That's a funny story, btw.

Actually, i was thinking it would be good to make margarita's at 20 feet.

[LWolf]

13. I like the margarita plan.

After a few, who cares how much excess salt my bad aim left lying around...I wouldn't.

[vanlassie]

14. An A-Salt weapon? Flies in the face of good seasoning.

[MrScorpio]

17. Do they have one that shoots garlic powder?

You know… To hit tiny little vampires?

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Now, That I'd Buy

We use so much garlic in our house there isn't a vampire within 50 miles.
