98: Baby Got Vac

You always remember your first…vacuum, that is. Right? Especially if you bought it credit rewards points you earned because you only had credit cards to live on because you were very poor!

Meanwhile, Andrew is still maybe a little bit wistful over the good old days of mustard-colored ShopVacs.

In other news, if you’re like listener Corinne, you have a special Shower Broom. If you’re not like her — but you’re intrigued by the idea of what a shower broom could do for you — here are some that I have been Googling since we recorded.

Listen to the pod for way more shower talk:

We also got into DustBuster talk again this week, which made me do some Googling on the history of the ol’ DB. Turns out, there’s a whole narrative on the Patent Office website. Check it out!

Then, call me if you have bleach stain towel answers. Because I am dying to know!
