Does anyone else read Amazon reviews for entertainment? I have to control myself or I’d be in there all day long.
I came across this latest product via the video first and could not stop laughing at this gal. I swear she puts the curly “F” in flatulence. She just sounds so proper. I’ve been laughing over the product and it’s “Unconditional Stink-free Guarantee” for DAYS.
Like any self-respecting product researcher, I ran to Amazon to see if they had it. (And they did!) That being said, don’t buy it from there.
The Poo-Pourri site has much better pricing (for all except the Costco-sized refill) and you get to see all the cool product names like Deja Poo, Trap-A-Crap and Heavy Doody.
I LOVE THESE PEOPLE. This is some of the best marketing I’ve ever seen.
And how do you not admire a fulfillment team that goes by the name: “The Poo Crew?”
The box to the right shows up on every page of their site right now. Is that some stellar customer service, or what?
These guys deserve their 13,000% jump in sales.
And the reviews…
You’ve got to go to Amazon for these, but they’re well worth it.
We haven’t had product reviews this funny since Kristy K. James sent me to the VEET for Men review over on the UK Amazon site.
[If you’re new here, we’ll wait while you go check out VEET. Set down your drink first.]
Okay, back to the Poo-Pouri…

5.0 out of 5 stars SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!!!!, June 16, 2013
This stuff is incredible! Not even Montezuma’s Revenge is a match for original scent Poo-Pourri. No matter what I unleash it smells like lemon cake it my bathroom!!!! My wife is much happier, I’m less embarrassed, and life is good!
5.0 out of 5 stars A godsend…, January 23, 2013
Anyone who has a man in their life prone to dropping stinkbombs should invest in a bottle for every bathroom in the house. It is almost disconcerting when I walk in there and it smells GOOD! 🙂
This will make all my divorced pals laugh:
5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven sent!!!!!, March 8, 2013
Where was this product when I was married? At least something would have smelled nice in the relationship, will buy again.
And then the more practical reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars SPECTACULAR PRODUCT, February 12, 2013
This product is wonderful. I am a caregiver fro my 94 year old mother who has dementia and had a stroke. She has to use a commode in her bedroom. I used to dread every night because she would literally smell up the entire room and into the hallway and the living room. Tonight, I put about 1/2 inch of water in the commode, gave 4 sprays and voila! NO ODOR WHATSOEVER. I am truly amazed. You have made my dreaded chore easier to deal with. I highly recommend this product.
Great product., November 14, 2012
I use this for my cat boxes. Even though I clean them out several times a day, let’s face it, cat boxes can smell just the same as people’s bathrooms. I spritz this and it smells so much better.
As an added bonus, the Cowbell Chronicles have been out shopping for this product under the naughty supervision of Gloria Richard. If you missed the start of her Cowbell Chronicles, click here.
Do you already own some Poo-Pouri? (If so, please give us your product review in the comments!) Do you plan to buy some after reading this post? Enquiring minds always love to hear your thoughts here at More Cowbell!
~ Jenny
I ought to buy some for stocking stuffers at the family Christmas Eve party…but I probably won’t. However…I might buy some for my son, who once said to me that his SBD’s were like a ticking time bomb (to which I heartily agreed!). Usually he asks for the box of matches I keep in plain sight on my desk for those times when he forgets to ask (because my office is about twelve feet from both bathrooms…talk about POOR planning on the builder’s part!!!). So Poo-Pouri may well find its way under the tree. 😀

You can try out the product for as little as $6 plus shipping, Kristy. As long as you go to their site. Amazon has tacked on some amazing surcharge.
And I CANNOT believe the builder put any room within nose distance of two bathrooms. That’s just cruel.

Well now, a product that’s fun and effective. Don’t see that every day. How do you tactfully carry around that spray bottle though? I think someone should invent little tanks of that stuff to sit right inside your regular toilet tank that can spray down after each flush. That way no one has to carry around their own handy bottle, it’ll just automatically be in the bowl.
I’m going to work on that. Nobody steal that idea. If I see those little tanks in toilets, I’m going to sue the makers. You saw it first, right here. My idea.
Good stuff, Jenny. Good stuff.
