I think Greg got hosed…

Posted by: Selena Kang

Yesterday at Bed, Bath and Beyond (oh god, we are turning into one of THOSE couples…), Greg came up to me at the checkout line and said, “Look at these! They are so cool!” He was holding a set of 2 plastic spikey balls like those massage balls people like. These balls are intended to live in the dryer and proudly touted the “As Seen on TV!” logo on the packaging. Today, we had 5 loads of laundry to do. When it was my turn to use the dryer, there are those two spikey balls. What the hell, I thought, and I loaded up the dryer. And, just as expected, it sounded like someone had thrown two balls into the dryer. After clunking until the dryer was done, I took out my laundry which looked no different from any other time, turned to Greg and said, “Um, what are these supposed to do again?” He said, “Act like dryer sheets and fluff your laundry.”

These spikey, clunky fluffers that look like overstock massage balls that got marketed under “Laundry Wonderballs” are suspect to me. More on this when I see some development in my laundry’s status. In the meantime, I will stick with dryer sheets.

    That’s hilarious. My sister actually has those laundry balls. They turned into cat toys pretty quickly.
