@1DisabledWarVet Yes. On Sunday I blame the coffee machine. Monday it is the ceiling fan. On Tuesday the pencil sharpener gets blamed. Thursday is the Meh shirts. On Friday it is the wood chipper full of dead hookers and of course on Caturday it is the neighborhood dogs.
@werehatrack Not being from that neck of the woods, I’ve never heard of that chain, but that sounds like a blind taste test challenge i can get behind!
I don’t know this brand, but I have a few dozen of these from some brand (Marsheepy, I think?), and they are awesome for shoes and closets! Being able to drop some of these in a pair of boots after a hike, or between a bathroom and closet space is fantastic. They do slowly drop in effectiveness over time and use, not to zero, but just slightly less great. And the easy solution is to air them out in the sun for an hour or two.
Definitely buying a set or two for some additional variety, and to replace the oldest ones.
@katbyter, I have some like the big ones [Breathgreen] & they’re 6.5"x7" & about 1.5" wide. BTW, although this A2A was merely sarcasm, I had nothing better to do, ergo, my answer.
So, I have some bags of barbecue charcoal I haven’t used (too lazy to make a coal fire; usually use gas grill instead…. or there’s high fire danger in my area).
Couldn’t I smash that up in a bag and make my own?
@1DisabledWarVet@pmarin Correct. Activated carbon absorption pacs are not just charcoal, they are charcoal (or other coarse granular open matrix carbon) that has been subjected to the drive-off-absorbed-volatiles processing needed to make it capable of absorbing more volatiles. Barbecue charcoal is pretty much saturated with wood smoke volatiles, if it’s any good.
@1DisabledWarVet@pmarin@werehatrack Well, for reference sake in line with the comment immediately above, I had a pretty severe house fire several years ago. The house reeked of burnt wood/carpets/plastics/whatever for over a year, such that it was hard to go in for salvage during that time (finally rebuilt and sold). What was on the floor sure looked a lot like charcoal from a grill. But it didn’t seem to do much in absorbing the “volatiles”.
So if I hang it from my rear view mirror will it make my car not smell like anything? Also since I live in a hot sunny state it would spend more time in the sun so like limitless recharge right?
@calebnmoore, Yes, 1 would make the auto interior smell exactly like nothing & one would be just like having it constantly plugged in, so you’re good to go!
Decided to go in for the 18 count variety pack. Being chemically sensitive, I can’t use air fresheners or scented products. This just might be a really great thing for me. Guess I’ll find out when they get here!
@JAWGS, there’s a misconception of these products because they are Not air fresheners like Glade, Febreze, or those scented items ya hang off a rear-view mirror in your ride. These are Absorbants that only absorb odors, not emit scents.
@1DisabledWarVet I KNOW they’re not scented nor emit scent. That’s why I’m getting them. To absorb nasty smells in my house because I CAN’T use anything scented to cover up said smells.
@JAWGS, Well, Now that you made your comment clearer, you don’t sound quite is naive as you did in your first badly scripted comment. There are many, many, many things that I {nor you, likely} Can’t take, sniff, snort, etc while simply trying to get rid of odor. For example, I can’t snort coke, or eat Habanero hot peppers as I try to get rid of odor, but I rarely mention what I can’t do, especially when it has very little to do with the fn subject at hand. These two, out of millions, is what your 1st comment sounded like, though I know Now that is not how ya meant it. In short, ya left the impression & the perception that you thought these bags were deodorizers like Febreze, Glade & such. As you know, ‘perception’ Is as convincing as realty, and facts, but alas, ya Did explain yourself. BTW, I love all the different scents of Febreze & Love sarcasm too!!
@JAWGS@Kyeh, Different strokes for different folks, Kyeh. Not everyone perceives the same, but you knew that, otherwise you wouldn’t have made that comment! Thanks, for your opinion.
you don’t sound quite is naive as you did in your first badly scripted comment.
I just thought saying that was kind of uncalled for - you could have put it more kindly, and I really thought their comment was “scripted” perfectly well. I know you wanted to be helpful, though.
I’m buying these, although I already have 8 Breathgreen bags which I purchased after reading that some research scientist was using these after the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic!!
@neuroticsilence you could install an AC in your attic & move your computer & your-self up there. A nice Sunroof would really make the lonely day up there quite a bit more sunny & pleasent!!
@1DisabledWarVet Ha, that’s a big no-go. The attic isn’t insulated, has only an exhaust vent not windows, and becomes a literal hotbox in the summer. (plus it’s unfinished and only has half a floor )
@neuroticsilence@werehatrack, Ms Neurotic-silence, ya just might wanna Google the word ‘they’ to find how, e.g., The Associated Press Style book & others said about the pronoun. You might be a bit surprised!!

My office chair on Wednesday morning would love these.
@yakkoTDI Is that after Taco Tuesday?
@Mandamm Yes. Wednesday does follow Tuesday here in the U.S.A.
@yakkoTDI, are you admitting you fart quite often, or are you just blaming the chair for the odd Wed morning smell¿?
@1DisabledWarVet Yes. On Sunday I blame the coffee machine. Monday it is the ceiling fan. On Tuesday the pencil sharpener gets blamed. Thursday is the Meh shirts. On Friday it is the wood chipper full of dead hookers and of course on Caturday it is the neighborhood dogs.
@yakkoTDI out of the fart mufflers
Does good stuff always come in baggies?
@phendrick and burned/burnt
@JvB @phendrick, No, you ‘burn one’ After you buy the bag!!
Well, at least they’re honest about it just being a bag of lump charcoal.
/giphy lump o’ coal
Is there an app I can use to tell them which smells to keep? Like what if I have fresh flowers; don’t want them to take that smell.

‘FartBook Pro’? How old is the person that thought that up?
@GeckoD Yeah, really, iPood Shuffle was right there.
@brennyn @GeckoD these are the comments I came here for!
@GeckoD The 24 pack should take care of the iSheep in your house. I’m old

I have some of the pyramid ones on the back of my toilet tanks. They’re pretty good. I like the idea of shoe ones. Very exciting.

@kostia dude, giphy, it’s air freshener and the word PINE is right there, and you give me this?!
@kostia But her pining for him is inconsistent based on his smell.
@kostia So, how long ago did you set fire to the roomie?
@werehatrack well, she just started paying rent finally, so I put her out

Dimensions? How big is a 200gm bag of coal?
@katbyter, I have some like the big ones [Breathgreen] & they’re 6.5"x7" & about 1.5" wide. BTW, although this A2A was merely sarcasm, I had nothing better to do, ergo, my answer.
I would have expected more speaker docks and thermoses, but bags of coal? In this economy? yeesh, hard times.
So, I have some bags of barbecue charcoal I haven’t used (too lazy to make a coal fire; usually use gas grill instead…. or there’s high fire danger in my area).
Couldn’t I smash that up in a bag and make my own?
@pmarin This is a good question. Assuming the ingredients are the same and you use a permeable bag, I don’t see why not.
@pmarin yes, you could, but whether they would do the same job is the question ya really should ask! The answer to that A2A is, I Doubt It!
@1DisabledWarVet @pmarin Correct. Activated carbon absorption pacs are not just charcoal, they are charcoal (or other coarse granular open matrix carbon) that has been subjected to the drive-off-absorbed-volatiles processing needed to make it capable of absorbing more volatiles. Barbecue charcoal is pretty much saturated with wood smoke volatiles, if it’s any good.

What was on the floor sure looked a lot like charcoal from a grill. But it didn’t seem to do much in absorbing the “volatiles”.
I rarely if ever go shopping for scents, so maybe it’s just me, but “midnight mist” sounds more like the source of funky smells than the cure…
@Turken, this is merely an absorbant product!! The bags absorb odors in a room, not make the room smell nice.
@1DisabledWarVet @Turken
Or so one hopes, anyway.
Why not

/giphy watery-tough-beer
The odors are absorbed into the charcoal and then once a month you carry the whole bag outside to put in the sun for a couple of hours.
So, looks like these are single-use here in NW Oregon.

@FirstLast87 I guess I never really got over my crush on Molly!

@1DisabledWarVet @neuroticsilence Or, if in doubt, that’s what they said. (And people say that “they” is never singular.)

Isn’t fish filter charcoal activated carbon? Is it the same as this? If it’s less expensive, maybe I could refresh with that when these lose efficacy?

(Yup…I’m definitely walking into a “That’s what she said” joke with that last sentence. )
