If, you are not teasing about the ink, my Uncle used to be a printer. The ink used for newspapers actually never drys. To take it off use oil. Try normal cooking oil. Dried corn meal is a mild abrasive. Try a cornmeal oil paste. Soap easily washes away the cooking oil.

If we found out they did not would not consider doing business with their advertisers.

Now, Now, who are you calling crooks. Be careful

No media verifies their advertisers' bonafides.

Don't believe in any online reviews you read. Too easy for the owner to stuff the ballot box with glowing reports for him/her self.

For instance, look for "The Best Auto Insurance Companies" or "The Best TVs" and you'll find that the companies themselves design and host those (review) websites and get Google to move that site to the top of the search list (SEO).

Even Consumers Report, which used to be unbiased, now takes fees from manufacturers to get "approved" by CR and can advertise as such in the stores and in their ads. Conflict of interest here. CR is no longer unbiased. I dropped my subscription immediately!

Don't believe what you read on the internet.

Personally I don’t care as long as there is a bag to put my doggies poop in. Keep giving me a bag every day. 😆
