Two, two, two in one! What do fresh wipes and laundry detergent have in common? Absolutely nothing besides being the next two ads to be bundled together.

Two, two, two in one! After a long, long delay, the advertisements are ready for world premiere. For the next three days, two advertisements will go out in each episode.  I apologize for the wait; I am now running this from Michigan State University and while I thought I had backed up everything, some of the date got misplaced.  I will be uploading new episodes everyday until I run out of new material. Enjoy!
