Don't you just hate it when people say stuff in their status that you really don't want to know? Like, "I gotta go poop. Talk to ya later." It happens!

Speaking of which, you're probably one of the 27 million who has viewed the hilarious video on YouTube about Poo-Pourri, that virtually eliminates bathroom odors! Everything from its name to its promised results should be required bathroom reading for every Marketing 101 student!

So, as I'm laughing and watching,  the attractive peddler explains that the product works because of a layer of scented oil that's sprayed on top of the toilette water before you sit to do your business. She said based on aromatherapy principles, spraying into the bowl before you go forms a protective layer that prevents stinky odors from filling the room.

Well, if that aromatherapy principle works for their product, I figured why not try spraying the generic citrus air freshener I had. They say necessity is the mother of invention. It worked! There was enough essence of citrus oil in the inexpensive air freshener to prevent any odors from escaping.

So next time, before you go, try spraying the bowl first and see if it works. It's better than spraying to mask airborne odors after the fact!
