My sister falls for every single infomercial she sees. But she tells me the Shamwow actually works quite well.
Ok, then I need to talk to her. Because my husband got us signed up for these fucking Zorbies, and they ain't (absorbent, what I assume the moniker Zorbies suggests they do, you know, well). All they do is make lint! Sure, once they get a bit wet they can absorb water, but as well as a chamois, or a microfiber cloth (like my favorite 3M cloths)? Hardly.
But! I've watched that annoying ShamWow commercial, and the bit where they pour the soda onto the piece of carpet has been played with. Watch carefully, idiot-what's-his-name pours out soda onto the carpet, and we see it come out from underneath. A couple of shots later, when he's showing the magnificent absorbption qualities of his handly piece of ShamWow, the soda is no longer under the carpet. So, did the ShamWow really absorb all that soda the way he makes it look? I think NOT! Thusly, I am incredulous.
By the way, I don't replace my sponge every week. They last longer than that. I just wish I could get the other family members to fucking rinse the God damned thing out after they wipe up food with it, instead of leaving it to become nicely moldy and mildewed such that you can't touch it without becoming tainted for the day.

GOD that fucking pisses me off! They're getting better, because now I'm either throwing it in the trash, or into the room of the last person to use it (where it can stink up their space).
