The nation’s endless search for proof of Bigfoot’s existence may soon come to an end.

A North Carolina-based wife and mother has home brewed a spray that she says can attract any Bigfoot within a mile and a half.

Sold at $7 a bottle, the “environmentally friendly” Bigfoot Juice also doubles as a bug spray, said creator Allie Megan Webb, who runs Happy Body Care out of Marion. She created it sitting at her kitchen table.

A thousand years from now, people are going to ask "What, the FUCK , happened to these people in the 21st Century??"

“How do you know it works?” Webb asked, laughing. “That’s a tough question. I guess I could ask how do you know it doesn’t work?”


how do you argue with that?

I think walking away, before succumbing to anything more primal and darwinian-selection stuff with heavy objects would be best

I think it's supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing, and the media (as usual) twisted it up to make the poor woman seem nuts.

Assuming Bigfoot does exist (until I see a body I'm on the fence) I don't know that I'd want to encounter one on casual stroll through the woods. Large Primates tend to be very territorial and aggressive.

For ten years my cat was assigned the job of keeping elephants out of the neighborhood. In that she was 100 percent successful. I suspect, rather strongly, that whatever the claimed substance is it will be 100 percent successful - in attracting any bigfoot THAT IS AROUND.

Oh, no doubt
Bigfoot, is just another example of the lunatics proving the "Invisible Dragon in My Garage" as Carl Sagan explained clearly in one of his books. No matter how logical, reasoned you are, no matter what test or sensors you devise, this whatever will magically!! be impervious to them all. And yeah, like you -- GIVE ME A BODY TO AUTOPSY. And lose the whining about 'murder' -- how the hell you can murder an unknown species, which is not known to even exist, never mind sentient, with no actual law on it? Ay yi yi....

The way a scientist would express it to another scientist is "You can not disprove a negative." That is, it is impossible to prove that bigfoot does not exist.

It's a given, that logic and reason have utterly no effect on insane people
Plus, taking the time to explain that to them, is a waste of oxygen
