AJAX 45% more !

 

I was washing the dishes today, and I noticed this on my bottle AJAX soap:

“45% MORE VS COMPETITORS’ 11 oz”

You might think the slogan is referring to the note on top of the bottle:

“Washes away bacteria from hands”

because it is also printed on a yellow background. BUT, this bottle is 16 oz; and 16 is 45% more than 11 oz …

So yes AJAX, your bottle is 45% bigger … DUH; but I doubt it cleans 45% more bacteria from my hands …

We started with a normal ‘bunny ears’ antenna but the quality isn’t always good. Snow and rain block the signal and not all channels can be captured when the antenna is placed in a certain spot. My old antenna was placed against a wall and I was able to receive +-23 channels. (+-9 watchable)

So I decided to look around for another, better antenna and I stumbled upon the Mohu Leaf Plus

From the gomohu.com website:

The Leaf™ Plus is unlike any other amplified HDTV antenna available! It’s like the Leaf on steroids! The Leaf Plus features a high gain, low noise state-of-the-art pHEMT amplifier to provide additional gain to increase signal range and improve the quality and reliability of Over-The-Air HDTV signals.

Exceptional performance. The Leaf™ Plus Amplified HDTV Antenna improves upon the top-selling Mohu Leaf™ antenna. The Leaf™ Plus provides you with an additional range for remarkable reception. For channels that experience occasional dropouts or pixilation, the additional gain of the Leaf™ Plus will provide a far more reliable signal than other antennas.

 The non-amplified version is cheaper and available on the Amazon.com website.

Paper Thin Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna – Made in the USA!

Paper Thin Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna - Made in the USA!

  • Paper thin – hang behind any picture or bookcase near your tv
  • High quality construction – made in the USA!
  • High performance design – outperforms all major brands
  • Omnidirectional reception, no adjustments needed

The patent pending Leaf indoor television antenna is a paper thin antenna that connects to your TV and mounts on the wall, behind a picture, or just about anywhere to enable you to receive free over-the-air broadcasts. Because the majority of television antennas on the market today are unsightly and tend to be an “eye-sore”, design aesthetics were a primary driver in the design of the Leaf antenna. The antenna is black on one side and white on the other providing a variety of installation option

List Price: $ 49.99

Price: $ 34.99

I made a before-and-after list of the channels I was able to receive with my normal antenna and with the Mohu Leaf Plus (s = signal, q = quality)
