I tried buying an affordable carpet, only “colors” for sale now are freaking grey, beige and white
Wow, it can really match the drapes
Whee!
Modern advertising needs less invasiveness and more of this silliness.
Imagine how much cigarette ash accumulated in those carpets.
It drove carpet sales. Every new house owner had to rip out the nicotine sponges.
smoker’s houses can be so bad. if you’re cleaning one out you have to use extra PPE because skin contact with the ultra concentrated tar can fucking kill you.
They need to be gutted to the studs and the HVAC needs to be replaced. We had a smokers house near us where they concluded demolition was a cheaper option.
Is “floor show” some kind of a wordplay? English is not my mother tongue so I have to ask.
“Floor Show” is not ultra-common vocab but it means the lineup of acts and entertainment at a club.
Even not knowing that, native speakers would see there is a pun going on via the more common idiomatic phrase “[the] greatest show in town” - historically often used by travelling circuses etc to advertise themselves.
And they couldn’t show more than about 60?
That thick, green, patchy design still lives on in bathroom mats.
