Here is the name of a product: FlexiSnake
And the name of the company peddling it is FlexiSnake Distributing.
Do the names invoke the image of a product peddled by the modern-day snake oil salesman?
Scott Turner, the owner of the company, begs to differ. His FlexiSnake has a good chance of replacing the chemical drain cleaners, for cleaning hair clogs in a slow running drain.
It is a velcro-tipped, disposable drain snake which cleans clogs much better than the usual chemical drain cleaners, if you believe the testimonials available at http://www.flexisnake.com, the web site for the product.
According to Turner, around 67% of his web site customers are female. “FlexiSnake is small, it is light, it fits in a shirt pocket -it may even be the world’s smallest drain snake”, he says.
Will this product succeed? We need to wait and watch.
