So you wanna see what happened with the foot pads last night?
And there you have it. The result of the first night’s Kinoki Foot Pad experiment. Never before have I been so disgusted by my own toxicity.
Now. Don’t get too excited just yet. I do not feel like a superhero. I do not have renewed energy or better hair or faster growing nails or a stronger immune system (that I am aware of) or anything like that. In fact, the only thing I feel is completely grossed out by how nasty that pad is.
What was it like, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. It was stinky. In fact, a few times during the night when I tossed and turned around, I would get an unexpected whiff of the funk that was emanating from my footular area, and it was a bit of a distraction, quite honestly. Having the pad on was no big deal, though. It was like a big giant bandaid.
So tonight I’m supposed to switch feet, and then repeat the whole process. Supposedly, as the days go by, the pads will become less and less horrific looking, as all the toxins are eliminated from me. And that’s the part that I can’t make sense of. I am completely positive that I’m being snowed by these pads in some way…that they can’t possibly be doing what they claim to be doing, and that the black nastiness which appears on them in the morning is just some sort of chemical reaction. But if the reaction becomes LESS reactionary with each passing day…well, I just don’t have an explanation for that.
I’ll post another Kinoki update in a few days and let you be the judge about whether or not there is any decrease in my toxicity. That is, unless I’m a superhero by then in which case I will just transfer my thoughts to you with my new magical powers. Either way, you’ll be informed.
Found your site a week ago and now you have 18 readers.
Try ear candles for a similar kind of funk. After burning the candles a yucky yellowish goo is all that remains. Ear funk is awful
WELCOME! Tell all your friends. If you can get us to 25 readers I might just try the ear candles as our 2nd Mockdock experiment.
I’m gonna spread the word to all my mock loving friends and see if we can’t get it up to at least 30+ readers! And are there really only 18 of us? That’s really hard to believe! This is a great site!
By the way EWWWWWW! Those pads are really gross, let’s hope you’re not that toxic!
Ear candles are wonderful! Even if you are of the opinion that the orangey-yellowy stuff at the end of the candle is just melted candle wax, your ears still feel cleaner and “de-waxed”! BTW, you now have 19 readers. I love to mock!
You have 1 more reader and I really want you to try the ear wax thing. Thanks for saving me the $$ of the Kinoki pads. Congrats on the 20/20 feature.
Thanks from me too!
I just stumbled on your site. Consider me a new reader too! I agree with the ear candles. It’s so gross…and you can feel the nasty stuff coming out of your head and sinus cavity. It’s a slight tingle, but it’s amazing. I’d say give it a go….I’m not making any promises as to how you’re going to feel afterwords (energized, etc.) But it’s pretty repulsive what can build up in your head!
Ok you guys – I’ve checked into the ear candle thing and there’s too much scary stuff about it online for me to try it. I’m sorry. I’m generally up for anything but this one kind of has me freaked.
If you want me to try something that’s proven safe and is totall cheap, I’m in.
I agree, the stuff online does sound scary, but I do it and it is AWESOME! For safety measures, I cut a hole in the middle of a paper plate and put the “candle” through it and slid it down all the way to the bottom of the candle, leaving just enough room to put the tip of it in my ear. If you tilt your head to the side when the candle is burning, any ashes or melting wax (which has never happened to me) would be caught by the plate. Can you get a visual on that? The crackling and hissing sound is the wax coming out and it’s somehow very satisfying!
