Wacky Uses for Name Brand Products - Crazy About Cleaning

He polishes furniture with Spam.

He scrubs a toilet with Coca-Cola.

He cleans a diamond ring with Efferdent.

Joey Green, the guru of weird uses for brand-name products, delights audiences with his outlandish demonstrations. He gets the whole room filled with laughter, and at the same time, he shares hundreds of inventive ways to save money.  The New York Daily News calls him “a hyperactive, testosterone-charged version of Heloise.”  People calls him the “Pantry Professor.”  The New York Times says, “His deadpan explanations end in punch lines that would have a stand-up comic’s audience in the aisles.”

He got Jay Leno to shave with Jif® peanut butter.

He got Barbara Walters to put a wet Pampers® diaper on her head.

He got Wayne Brady to rub French’s® mustard all over his chest.

He got Rosie O’Donnell to mousse her hair with Jell-O.®

He got Martin Short to polish furniture with Spam.®

His hysterical and high-spirited presentation has made him a popular guest on Good Morning America, The View, and The Tonight Show. This hysterical and ingenious ideaman opens people’s eyes to the potential hiding in every product, providing laughter and learning.

“The allure of all this is that these are products everybody has in their kitchen, laundry room, and garage.”  “These shortcuts save time and money, they’re environmentally friendly, and they’re a testimony to American ingenuity.  These are tips anyone can try at home.”

Joey became a walking encyclopedia of offbeat uses for brand-name products by accident.  While working as an advertising copywriter at J. Walter Thompson in New York City (writing television commercials for Burger King), he was asked to attend a brainstorming session. “Eight of us from different departments in the agency were gathered together in a conference room and asked to generate a list of alternative uses for Nestea Ice Tea Mix that could be advertised to increase sales.  Until that meeting, I had no idea that bathing in Nestea soothed sunburn pain. Nestea never advertised that fact ——unless, of course, that was the subliminal message in “Take the Nestea plunge.”

The next time you need a quick fix for a household problem, the solution could be in your pantry.
