6. I think it was called Zip It

I got one. It did kind of work, but cleaning it after...trying to get the gunky hair off it...was disGUSTING. If I ever use it again, I will use it once and throw it away.

9. I didn't realize it was a 1-use only thing

I had one at my old apartment for about 2 years and yes, it was gross cleaning it off.

So when I moved I bought a new one but the drains haven't been super bad so it's easy to clean.

After my stepfather discovered it I bought him about 5 for around my parents place and have 2 on hand at my place.

12. I should say thanks for telling me about it!

It really worked!! Just kind of really icked me out. ;)

BTW, first time I used it I had a really bad clog so I did add a little bit of drano to loosen it up. I also noticed they said '1 time use only' but I've had my last one for about a year and used it several times. But for $2, if the thing dies I'll get another one

15. Wow. I have had a clogged kitchen sink forever.

I noticed that these things are sold at Lowes, Home Depot and Ace, all within a mile from my house. I'll be going to one of them this weekend.
