Retail Roundup

So, has there ever been an odor that you’ve wanted to eliminate? Of

course there is. Well, Costa Mesa-based BioMagic LLC has the answer in

its Bio-OdorStop.

According to the company, the product “will make your boat, farm,

home, office or workplace odor free.” Yep, who doesn’t want his or her

farm to smell better? Those chickens may taste good, but they can stink

up the lot.

So, get rid of the stinks that life offers us and put down some cash

on a local product. Now, if only it could sprout cash and candy.

Grab a drink, float and you, too, can prevent blackouts

Being that everyone claims the state is in an “energy crisis,”

companies are coming up with their ideas to make things more efficient.

So, Pentair Pool Products has created efficiently run spa and pool pumps,

such as WhisperFlo, Challenger and Ultra-Flow.

What’s best about the company’s press release on the products is the

picture it includes. A husband and wife kick back with their son and

daughter in not your typical backyard pool, but something out of the

tropics. Surrounded by endless palm trees and ferns, the pool -- complete

with sparkling blue water -- boasts a rock slate waterfall and good-sized

lip on which to rest delicious beverages. And the alligator flotation

device one of the kids is riding looks pretty fun too.

All of this, and they’re enjoying kickbacks from the electric

companies by saving power. Isn’t life sweet?

Clearly read the labels before using

“American Pie 2” comes out Friday, and the nice people over at

Universal have blessed us with some super glue and super lube. Yep, and

they both look the same, except for the second words on each of the

tubes.

That’s probably a good enough tease for the sequel to a gross-out

movie. Be prepared to close those eyes.
