My weekend was a little weird. A couple friends of mine engaged in a Taco Bell eating contest. It is exactly what you think and it was amazingly gross. For whatever reason I decided to consult Google to see if there ever was an eating competition for Taco Bell. Well, once again it provided me with bizarre options that I NEVER would think of. This time?! People who eat Comet. Like the cleanser. Seriously. I mean, I guess I never really thought of it as a condiment, but don’t knock it til you try it right?! Actually, no, don’t try it.
Of course I had to dig a little deeper just to see if I really was reading what I thought I was. Apparently, it’s a real thing that people get addicted to. We’ve all been there I guess. Cleaning the bathroom or kitchen and just thinking “wow you know, I think this Ajax would go great with my chicken curry!!” Oh, was that just me? Just kidding then.
Here it all thanks to WikiAnswers. Click the link to read ALL of the people talking about their preferences from Ajax to Comet and possible solutions to get over it. One girl talks about putting it on white bread then changing over to wheat, you know, to be healthy. Please GOD read the whole link, I couldn’t post it all here, but it is mind blowing. Has anyone else ever heard of this or do it themselves?! I would really love to know why people literally “enjoy the smell and taste of comet.”
pairs really well with a california chardonnay. er… yeah.
I can’t believe that WikiAnswers page. Really? Comet for 35 years? And she still has a husband?! He must be into bleach. Great post, had a great laugh.
When I was a kid, like elementary age, there was a song we’d sing:
Comet. It makes your mouth turn green.
Comet. It tastes like gasoline.
Comet. It makes you vomit.
So get your Comet, and vomit, today.
Kids’ songs aren’t generally required to make sense. On the other hand, a lot of kids’ songs DO make sense if you can track down the history behind them.
Maybe this Comet eating thing has actually been around for forty years or more.
Weird, that’s for sure.
