My wife and I are extremely excited about this, even if it’s just going to be a silly fan-service popcorn movie. Plot doesn’t really matter, it’s all about Chris In The Morning.

I only saw the first movie. Is Windex still important?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok so here’s the story of Windex…

In Greece, rubbing alcohol is frequently used as a cure-all for aches and pains, zits, all the stuff we see Gus use Windex for in the first movie. But the thing is that in Greece, rubbing alcohol is dyed blue.

Upon immigration to North America, they sought out the same folk remedy of rubbing alcohol, but it was missing the characteristic blue dye. So they substituted the available item that was a blue cleaning solution…Windex.

So, there you go…

Why rubbing alcohol though? Is it some kind of medieval "Aqua Vitae" thing?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It evaporates quickly, providing a cooling action which is soothing for sore muscles or joints (hence the rubbing part, it was used as a liniment during massage) and is an antiseptic.
