Current Events > I was given a big bottle of smelly hand sanitizer

(+) Yeah! (+)

Smells like bad sake. But after you rub it and it dries on your hands it smells like corn. I can't trust these Walgreen products.

That's probably moonshine

A few places around here are selling homemade hand sanitizer and it's literally straight moonshine with pectin to thicken it.

The TN mountains are like the prime spot for moonshine, you can get it everywhere.

A lot of those are being made in distilleries right now.

My work has something like that. It smells like cheap tequila

Ya, my current place of work got some from a distributor that carried that brand beer.
~It was pretty cool of them tbh.

bro i bought rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide at walgreens the alcohol seemed fine the hydrogen had no safety seal so i am kind of worried about it

As someone who works at Walgreens the bottles we've been getting smell like shit. Like manure, or rotting vegetables. Some people commented that it smells like tequila. I started to just carry my own bottle that I get elsewhere and offer some to customers after warning them that the one we have sitting on the counter smells like shit.

As a fellow provider of extraordinary customer care, those gallon jugs smell like shit. BUT we've also received like two dozen 12oz bottles of 80% alcohol from Coty the cosmetic company. I've been using that shit. Doesn't stink, doesn't dry my hands out. Plus I'm in a specialty location so we're not sharing it with a bunch of customers or whatever.

Odd, I went to a Walgreens today, for a phone card. I didn't even realize they had Rubbing Alcohol.
That shit has been impossible to find since march around here. I wonder if they have Lysole spay or some equivalent.
~Not because I think the world is ending..but because I normally have this stuff on hand.

Side note: It's odd that it has been easy to find Pinesole this whole time. As well as, for the most part, Vinegar and Baking Soda.
Both will get the job done when considering surface cleaning.

Oh ya, I forgot to say.
The manufactures of Carona, stopped making beer and turned their operations towards sanitizer for a while. I am not sure if they are still doing that.

This is from brands switching to ethanol due to isopropyl alcohol being in short supply.

Personally, I just switched to Vodka.

*works at Walgreens*

We ran out of some brands like two months ago (sanitizers, masks, gloves, rubbing alcohol, Tylenol, etc.). Weve been selling whatever we could get from different suppliers.

Damn, I have never even been into a Walgreens until today!
Now I wish I looked around.
I guess my mind was about getting my phone card..and getting a slice of Pizza from the place four doors down....which was closed. As well as the sunset, getting home and cracking a beer.

You work up front/go through warehouse right? Is it just me or has the price on things gone up? I remember isopropyl and rubbing alcohol used to be like 99 a bottle, now they're like $2. Lysol spray is like $8 now.
