What do you use your Fabuloso for??

I was planning on blogging about my favorite cleaning products to use in my apartment, but I got totally side tracked once I started looking up Fabuloso.

Turns out, there have been tons of reports of people accidentally injesting this stuff.  No, let me rephrase that.  They are not accidentally drinking this stuff.  They’re drinking it on purpose but thinking its some kind of sports drink.

WTF?

For one, every store I have ever purchased Fabuloso at has had the stuff WITH the cleaning supplies.  Grocery stores, Dollar Stores, even teeny tiny neighborhood stores in Mexico had this product located near other products for similar purchases. 

Also, where are people putting this stuff?  I keep it under my kitchen sink, with other cleaning products.  It is definately not in my fridge next to my sports drinks or Kool-Aide.

AND, wouldn’t the final straw be the smell?!  It smells very, very strongly of cleaner.  It does NOT smell like something I’d want to drink!!

So…

To sum things up, and I direct this mostly to the gueros because most Latinos that I know are familiar with Fabuloso, DO NOT DRINK YOUR FABULOSO!!  Do not keep it in your fridge, or your guests might accidentally drink it.  If you own a store, keep this with your Pine Sol and Mr. Clean.  Most importantly, Keep It Away From Small Children!!
