An Apology to Proctor & Gamble

Dear Proctor & Gamble,

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize. You see, over the last few months, I have been making fun of your commercial for the Swiffer Dusters product. You know the one with the psychotic lady dancing around her friend’s house dusting to the sound of a modified version of Devo’s “Whip It”. I thought it was the dumbest, most insane commercial ever produced (well almost). I took every opportunity to ridicule your commercial and the product. I switched the channel purposefully when it came on. I would hold my breath and close my eyes and count to 30 if I couldn’t find the remote. The first time I saw it, I think I choked on my popcorn.

So now I apologize for my behaviour. I have recently discovered how truly great the Swiffer Duster really is. I am amazed at how it keeps all the dust in the cloth without falling out all over the place. I am amazed at how shelf after shelf, the dust disappears. I am almost tempted to search through my house for areas to dust. I am impressed. Slightly scared I will turn into that crazy woman from the commercial, but impressed.

So please accept my humble apologies, and thanks for a wonderful product!

Sincerely,
Mack D. Male

[I wanted to post somehow about how I tried out the Swiffer Duster today and liked it. But that would have been boring. Hopefully this was more entertaining!]

  1. Dear Mack Male,

    We are delighted to hear of your new found hobby of cleaning. We hope one day down the road, you will be willing to star in our commercials.

    On a more personal note, I spilt my coffee when I was told you were cleaning.

    Sincerely,
    Proctor and Gamble

  2. Have you ever tried Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser? It is the most amazing product on earth. Even more than the Swiffer Duster (I know b/c I have both!).

    I have not had the guts to write with crayons on the wall to see if it really erases crayon, but it erases other stains like magic (hence its name).

    Man, I sound like a housewife 😦

  3. The Magic eraser is the best amd yes it does take crayon off the wall as that was the first thing I did when I received it. So colour away! The other thing I find great it that it does not hurt my hands as I have eczema. This is a 5 star product.
