Maybe nobody has spent money to do a study, but it does seem to work. I was skeptical when a friend suggested it, but I'll be darned if it doesn't work.

- giardini 9y agoSo it's like Niel Bohr's horseshoe that he hung above his office door. When asked if he thought it brought good luck, he would reply "No. But they say it works even if you don't believe in it." Perhaps I could kill two birds at once by selling stainless steel horseshoes for bathing use? "Uncle Bohr's Lucky Stainless Steel Bathing Horseshoe" or such?
- sxates 9y agoLuck is hard to measure, smells aren't. I don't understand why you're so hostile to the possibility that stainless steel can remove odors that soap doesn't? This is easy to test. I've tested it.
- giardini 9y agoI wasn't hostile to the possibility, but I have tried several such products and haven't been impressed either. But FWIW here's an NPR article that says it doesn't work: "Does a Bit of Steel Get Rid of That Garlic Smell?" https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6473350 https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=647335...
