THIS BOOK GOT ME SO EXCITED THAT ROB LET ME REVIEW IT FOR THE BOOK REPORT. I WROTE IT ALL IN CAPS WITH THE HOPES THAT THIS WILL CONVEY MY EXCITEMENT FOR THIS BOOK!! LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS TOO!!!

MY ROOMMATE ANDI SUGGESTED THIS BOOK WHEN I MENTIONED THAT I'D LIKE TO EXPLORE ALTERNATIVES TO STANDARD CLEANING SUPPLIES, WHICH CAN BE PRETTY NASTY AND TOXIC.

ANYWAY, LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING WITH VINEGAR!!! IT'LL CLEAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE, AND DO A FEW OTHER AMAZING THINGS TOO. FOR EXAMPLE, VINEGAR:

• KILLS ATHLETE'S FOOT (MY FRIEND ANN --NAME HAS BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT THE INFECTED-- DID THIS AS A LAST RESORT AND SAYS IT REALLY WORKED!)
• CLEANS A COMPUTER MOUSE AND KEYBOARD (I TRIED TO GET ROB TO DO THIS BECAUSE HIS MOUSE IS PRETTY STICKY, BUT HE DIDN'T DO IT.)
• OPENS CLOGGED DRAINS
• REMOVES PERSPIRATION AND SMOKE ODORS FROM CLOTHES
• UNSHRINKS WOOL SWEATERS!!!
• DEODORIZES THE CAT BOX AND ELIMINATES ODORS FROM PET "ACCIDENTS"
• CLEANS AND SOFTENS PAINTBRUSHES
• RELIEVES DRY SKIN AND DANDRUFF
• WORKS AS A DEODORANT AND BREATH FRESHENER!!!
• CONDITIONS HAIR AND BRINGS OUT RED HIGHLIGHTS!!!
• RELIEVES ACNE AND BOILS (INSERT G.W. JOKE HERE)!!!
• PREVENTS TRAVELERS' DIARRHEA, AND ALSO EASES GAS PAINS, HEMORRHOIDS AND MENSTRUAL CRAMPS!!
• IF YOU RAISE DAIRY CATTLE, VINEGAR ADDED TO THEIR FOOD WILL INCREASE THEIR MILK PRODUCTION. VINEGAR ADDED TO BEEF CATTLE WILL MAKE THEIR MEAT MORE TENDER (AND IS PROBABLY BETTER FOR THEM THAN HORMONE INJECTIONS). IF A NEW COW IS SPRAYED WITH A VINEGAR AND WATER SOLUTION, SHE WILL BE ACCEPTED MORE QUICKLY INTO THE HERD!!! IT'S NOT JUST FOR DOUCHING ANYMORE.
• TIRED OF HAVING EGGS THROWN AT YOUR CAR JUST BECAUSE OF THE NADER BUMPER STICKER? VINEGAR WILL REMOVE UNWANTED, OUTDATED OR OUT OF STYLE BUMPER STICKERS.
• MOST INCREDIBLY, VINEGAR MIXED WITH VEGETABLE OR OLIVE OIL MAKES A DELICIOUS SALAD DRESSING!!!

A READER OF THIS REVIEW MIGHT MISTAKENLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A BOOK REVIEW, BUT IN FACT AN ODE TO VINEGAR. NOW, WOULD I BE ABLE TO WRITE SO INTELLIGENTLY AND ENTHUSIASTICALLY (AS EVIDENCED BY THE CAPS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS) IF I HAD NOT BEEN CONVINCED THAT VINEGAR IS A TRULY AMAZING SUBSTANCE? THE BAZILLIONS OF USES FOR VINEGAR ARE THE MOST GRIPPING PART OF THE BOOK (AND I HAVEN'T GIVEN THEM ALL AWAY, BELIEVE ME), BUT MOORE HAS ALSO INCLUDED INFORMATION ON VINEGAR'S HISTORY (HELEN OF TROY USED TO TAKE VINEGAR BATHS), HAS AN EXTENSIVE RECIPE SECTION, AND EVEN TELLS THE READER HOW TO MAKE VINEGAR (WHICH ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A BIT GROSS). SHE SAYS, "I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF VINEGAR ALL MY LIFE." IT REALLY SHOWS!!!
