Cinci vs Dayton

First thing that came to mind, and it tool about 2 seconds, and happened this year (some 30 yrs. later) ...

Mr. Clean's auto wash. The significant thing about this system is that it uses no water. The car-cleaning system wanted to use Cincinnati as a test city and installed it's system in the Fountain Square Garage. If successful, systems like this will be installed nationwide throughout America's parking garages and stand-alone car washes.

Actually P&G tested Pringles in Louisville.

P&G doesn't always use Cincinnati as a test city for all its products. For example, Fit Produce Wash was first tested in the Denver market and then later Charlotte. After that, the test market expanded into Texas and Iowa before coming to Ohio. Other P&G products were first tested in other cities, too.

Oh, is that right? I wonder who would've ever assumed that they tested all of their products in Cincy? That is crazy isn't it?

I thought they sold Folgers.

I honestly freakin' wish you'd grow up and get a life, Cincy-Rise. I posted a simple comment, and all you know how to do is nitpick and criticize.

Sheesh, you really need a shrink, you know that?

I'm tired of your personal attacks.


Either add something constructive or place me on your ignore list.
