Kill it Bam!
A few years ago when I was still at Uni, the internet was crazed with Barry Scott, the made-up spokesperson for Cillit Bang (Remember that shit?).

Near us was a good ol' 99p store, the staple of any student worth his salt. In it, we found what we thought was a cheap knock-off, named "Kill it, Bam!".

We decided to test both of these against each other and the results were quite surprising. It was actually featured in the B3ta newsletter and everything, despite them vowing to be done with everything Cillit Bang related.

The results are still available here, on an old (and long since forgotten-about) Livejournal entry.

However, the story doesn't end there. It turns out, the people that make Kill it Bam got wind of it and very kindly sent us a massive box of cleaning supplies. Of course, being students we never actually used them for anything other than dicking around. They also informed us that you can use Ketchup to clean pennies just as effectively as any detergent - and they were bloody right, too.

We learned a lot doing this and had our 15minutes of internet fame. The sad part is that it's probably my biggest achievement from going to Uni, even counting the fact that I managed to graduate.

Oi, science!
Less time cleaning pennies, more time curing cancer/inventing flying cars.
