The Works Bomb!

Every company has their own way of getting new jobs/customers/sales, etc. At the end of June, we moved buildings and now share a building with an engineering company. They are a fun group of people, very friendly and include us in their team events.

We, DermStore peeps, we a little intrigued/worried when they invited us to meet them out side to "blow up a plant". At 10:30 am, we headed out to the back patio where we found a homemade "bomb" made of The Works toilet bowl cleaner, tin foil, and a two liter container under the plant. The trick is to make 10-15 small foil balls, stick them in the two liter, pour a little of The Works in the 2 liter bottle as well, give it a little shake, and get to a safe distance. With a big BOOM! we were in business :-)

The story behind the Plant explosion was this: Last time they found a dead plant in the office, they threw it away. Within minutes of throwing the plant away their phones were ringing off the hook. This time after finding another dead plant, they decided to take it up another notch. Instead of just throwing it away, they thought they would blow it up and see if they could get more bigger and better jobs. Time will tell!

Fun, expected event in the work place!
