Basically, it's a soap dispenser by Dettol which senses your hand and dispenses the soap into your hand, fair enough. Supposedly it avoids germs being present on the plunger of conventional dispensers.

Think about it though, a "commoner" like myself with a normal soap dispenser presses the plunger to wash their hands. Upon pressing that plunger they're bound to contract AIDS, knob rot, leprosy and a variety of other stuff. However, they are doing so with the intention of washing their hands, they do so and the germs go down the drain.... Problem?

Did Dettol design this product for people who feel it is necessary to lick their soap dispenser after Uncle Tom went to the jax for a dump and a Tom Hank and got the dispenser covered in his AIDS.

Anyway, rant over, what product do you find pointless?
:pac:

I thought the same about the product 'til I had to clean up dog shìt, had it not been for that hand dispenser I would have gotten crap all over my soap dispenser and anywhere else I touched.

Yes, with my bare hands. Why?

Seems odd to clean it up with your bare hands when you could have used some old newspaper, or a bag, or a shovel, or something to prevent having to use your bare hands, thats all.

The kitty litter ad with the kitten who can't find the litter tray cos there is no odour from it - surely the point of a litter tray is so the cat knows where to go (and more importantly where not to go)!!!

Baby milk. What a load of sh1te. Or anything that boasts L Casei Immunitas or Active Regularis in it. They are made up. What a shill, wake up people :eek:

Yes, I especially hate that add for Cow and Gate Growing up Milk that places the 2 litre beaker of milk on the childs tray and says "Your child needs to drink 2 litres of ordinary milk to get as much iron as one cup of our special magical potion milk etc"

The child on the add has teeth so can obviously eat food containing iron.

I thought I was the only one who saw why dettol dispensers were ridiculous hmm not as clever as I thought I was hehe

The snuggy blanket and the coffee table made me spit my vodka ha brilliant:D

Now if anyone could come up with a genius invention to cover/disperse dog fart that would be great. My dogs choking me "puke"

Thinspired · 11-01-2011 02:37AM

What I don't get about the soap dispenser is, well, if you use your filthy dirty germy hand to turn on the tap, and then you turn the tap off after your hands are all soaped up and rinsed clean, then aren't you getting all the germs back on your hand again?

The only solution that I can think of is to have one of those taps you wave your hand in front of to switch it on.

Then you've got to consider that in your average house the hand towel only gets changed every few days, so when you dry your hands you're only putting the germs on the towel back onto your hands... OH GOD!!!!

I think the second pointless product thread is pretty pointless.

Hrududu · 25-03-2011 10:17AM

There are 2 things about the no touch soap dispenser that make no sense.

1. They are clearly saying that their soap can't get rid of germs. I thought Dettol prided itself on killing germs, just not the ones that might be on the pump.

2. So you get the soap on your hands without touching the pump. But you still have to turn the tap on, wash your hands and then turn the tap off again. So you're touching a germy tap with nice clean hands. Well not that clean since we've established that the product won't rid you of the germs.

That ad makes me grumble at the telly every time it comes on.

Not so much a pointless product but pointless advert ...

You know the TV Licence advert where yer man is cooking salmon and the girls says something like - you know I like everything except fish.

In the add the guy is clearly cooking fish and I know from experience that when fish is in mid cook it can be clearly smelled through out the room and there is no mistake that it is fish, so I don't know why she was being all coy as it would have been pretty clear that he was cooking fish. Stupid ad.

I miss their old ads with the ejits coming to the door giving excuses that don't work.
