my wife always got pissed at me when I traveled for work and would grab the toothpaste......apparently we only had the one tube..

so on a whim I bought a box (24) tubes of toothpaste for my wife and wrapped it like a birthday gift............

she was less than amused. we still joke about it to this day.

I miss the old days of Costco when membership was limited to retail business owners only. Back when it was a wholesaler. Now too many people shop there.

Yup same here. Two packs every time. Great quality. Although they started putting tags on each one, but they are easy to rip off.
Haha...I do the same thing with those damn tags. Wife loves these towels for around the house too.

Drier sheets like Bounce work good in engine compartments.
I tried this after a mouse ate my knock sensor wires under my intake manifold in my truck. Put about 15 sheets everywhere in both engine compartments parked in the driveway. Caught two mice with an electric zapper mouse trap in my truck by the battery. In the wife's car they used them to make a nice nest in the cold air intake.
I call BS! :p

My wifes car engine is spotless now, no mess, no chewed wires, no dried out leftover snail shells and intact hood insulation.
We tied 3 or 4 pieces of it in various places that prior infestation had been.

Glad it worked for you, me not so much. I wrapped all my new wiring with the Honda pepper tape.

Anybody ever make a stupid impulse buy at these stores? I was out of soap and saw they had a giant thing of Irish Spring bars for like $6.69. I don’t typically use Irish spring but thought that was a hell of a deal so I grabbed it. I opened the plastic at home to get a bar and was immediately hit in the face with the smell of this stuff. Holy shit is it strong but I figure it will air out. Two days later my wife is telling me I gotta do something with this soap because the entire second floor of the house smells like Irish spring. So now I’m trying to figure what to do with the remaining 19 bars of soap. I offered my 10 year old son a bar and he just looked at me and said “you bought way too much soap”.
The homelesss encampment in the other thread could use them.

I bought some Irish Spring today (because of this thread) to see if they work to keep the mice out of my tractor shed. Mice = rattlesnakes here, so worth the few bucks to try.

When I bought this dirt I wondered about snakes. I asked a long time resident about it, and she said there use to be lots of them around her house, but after they started feeding feral cats the snakes left. Hmmm, what could a cat do to a rattlesnake??? Nothing, but the cats caught the mice, and starved the snakes out... Get rid of the mice and the snakes go away...

This is a pretty funny thread. First its "what to do with all the Irish Spring" now mofos are running out buying the shit. LOL . Including me. WTF .

Where's the "WTS 2 Bars of Irish Spring?" thread

Irish Spring has worked for me. I rarely drive my truck and my Mercedes’s, and not mice or rats around since I started using it in the garage.

I use moth balls in the cars to keep mice out. It seems to work.

Fits this thread. My brothers best friend is Cuban. His friend moved to America just before Obama ended wet foot dry foot. His friend still has family in Cuba. He goes back every few months. He has a Costco card on our account. He buys toilet paper, soap, tooth paste and items like that to take to Cuba. He loves Costco.
