No powder cleanser??


So I went to a local walmart and to commercial mexicana and I could not find any powered cleanser such as comet or ajax. The next day I happened to be in Chula Vista and hit the Walmart there. I STILL could not find any and thought "this is crazy!" An employee just happened to walk by and was able to show me 3 cans left waaaay in the back on the bottom shelf. So apparently the stuff is very popular and that walmart is full of Mexicans.

So now I am wondering if powder cleansers are not available in baja????

NowNowNow....I'm sure someone with a fertile imagination can work that statement into something racist. Maybe Janet Murgia??

Anyway...I've bought lots of powder cleanser here. I don't pay much attention to brand names with stuff like that.

Try baking soda + nylon mesh pot scraper.

Si, use something like Awesome cleaner (better than Fabuloso which has such a strong smell), and then add your baking soda for abrasion, or bleach as needed. Awesome cleaner is pretty awesome - cheap too. I really miss the SaniFlush dry granule toilet bowl cleaner. The granules would sit at the bottom, foam up and do their job. Why get rid of such a great product. And they changed the recipe for Stouffers macaroni and cheese - now it's crap. And the cans of tuna are smaller but still the same price. Ditto with coffee. 10 oz can? $1.25 for a can of Herdez in San Diego, but 45 cents in TJ? They're yanking our chain.

Just mix sand in with your Fabuloso. :spingrin: Oh, wait! Sand won't dissolve. Maybe use granulated salt? Just don't touch you privates after using as some folks do.:rolleyes::lol:

It's not that complicated, maybe it's one of those spill-over things from CA. Those CA folks seem to have a hard time with things no matter how simple.:lol:

Cheetos in Baja


Cultural Differences ? Or Generational ?

In San Felipe, at least, I once verified that despite there being at least Hundreds of bags in the Chili variety at a dozen stores there wasn't a Single bag of originals to be found.

As somewhat of an addict, I embarked on the search when mi esposa committed the sin of forgetting to pack them.

Now, we head South with an abundance. I'll never have to look again.

AND, what's with this Limon in everything ? Chips, nuts ? I bought a pack of "regular" Blanched Peanuts once and, with the first mouthful, "WTF" ? It wasn't anywhere on the label other than in the "tiny-print" listing of ingredients.
