Mrs bloke reports to me that - with sales tax - the off-brands are over $4 and - with tax - the Pledge brand is over $7. :bugeyes:

You needn't tell me about lower prices that you have found on this stuff. but - not long ago - the off-brand was 79 cents, was it not?

Of course - if I see some off-brand on the dollar aisle or the clearance aisle at the dollar store, I'm going to grab several.

(We use them to clean off the last traces of grease after dent removal, oil from hasty/generous valve-oiling, and heavy/disgusting spit dots from the outsides of tuba bell flares.)

Definitely not Polish, but maybe too Jewish……. Might have to ask for a troll judge.

I was always told it wasn’t spit, it was condensation…

The condensation piles up on the inside, the spit on the outside.

I'll take the Pledge...
I guess "community churches" are sort of analogous to generic furniture polish...(??)
