Big Red

Do you have any products you buy that you love, where brand really does make a difference to you, or a product that makes your life easier and you don't do without it? I'd like to know. :) Here is my list (in no particular order):

1) Hidden Valley Ranch dressing - I didn't really like ranch dressing at all, until I tried Hidden Valley and I think it's not only really good, but this is where brand matters. It's great as a dip for baby carrots too.

2) Big Red gum - I never really bought gum, maybe to chew after eating out, but I rediscovered the Big Red and yum-o! I think the cinnamon/red hottiness flavor really cuts the edge off my hunger, and the flavor really lasts.

3) Magic Eraser - One tough cleaning sponge-like-thing that works great, love it.

4) New Skin - This is a liquid bandaid. It comes in a little bottle and applied with a brush, like fingernail polish. My hands were really dry and kept cracking, very painful sometimes. I tried the liquid bandaid and my cracks stopped getting bigger and were able to heal. It does burn a little if the skin is broken, but you can take it. :)

5) Oxy Clean (powder)- I didn't know you weren't supposed to get this on your hands (hence the dry, cracked hands), but I never did read the warning label. This is a little laundry magic, with a little elbow grease. I like this product, but I haven't tried everything, so I don't know if it's the best, it just works well.

6) Aquaphor - When my hands get really dry, I'll rub this into my hands at night and in the morning, they're good as new.

I feel like I'm trying to sell you something, but I'm not. There are just some things that I think work great, or taste great and so there you have it.

I am curious to know some of yours.
