This page harkens back to when one of us was a "Kid-on-the-Net. We were all a little bit hazy back then in the ancient early 2000s... idyllic times until the Twins toppled over.

Let's not mention the DotCom Boon. Doggle...

Nor that real estate bubble.

No, let's just think back on the fun times, when hope sprung eternal in the Ethernet world.

A bevvy of products came down the pike, one more wonderful than the other.

We ran across the lightbulb that lasts forever... and the owner of the little company was so sure he'd be able to keep selling more and more to the growing populations around the world.

There was that brilliant new encryption algoritm that this tiny little wizened man came up with - we sincerely hope that he wasn't taken terribly advantage of by the Wolves, Thieves and corporate Varmints.

We've seen remarkable inventions go by the wayside because they were falsely sued or harassed. Other's were bought out for a song and dance.

And then there's those products that are still around, and absolutely wonderful.

There's just too many to mention here. So, without further ad-dew, on with it then!

Silver Masks and Wipes - 2009

We fell so in love with this product that we created a blog. Never mind that the product was created by a friend and associate. This product is the best of the plucky, American (and worldwide!) spirit of entrepreneurism, inventiveness, doggedness.

These days, it's increasingly apparent that there's bad little bugs abounding. Perhaps you may want to stock up a face mask in your little home medical kit.

Instead of those rather plain little paper or throwaway masks of dubious usefulness, how about a SILVER embedded / plated cloth mask that is RE-USABLE and WASHABLE? And, has plenty of this precious metal to help with antimicrobial benefits?

Wonderful for you, your budget, the environment, your family, friends and loved ones. Bad for bugs. Microbial type critters. ( Silver Mask | Silver Shield Mask | Antimicrobial | Handmade )

FAVORITE WORD OF THE MOMENT: Intrepid. Darn plucky. Fearless, brave, resolute. Yup! Something good to be in the world of Business and Great Product building.

Previously from 2003 (VERY much neglected, from the days of Yore...):

Occasionally in life,  we may come upon a product that is so great, so wondrous, so -- USEFUL!  that we want to support it and share it with EVERYBODY and get possibly NOTHING IN RETURN.

This webpage is dedicated to that end.

We receive no endorsements from any product manufacturers for having their products appear on our Best Products in the World list.  We simply take our personal experiences and recommendations from various sources, check out the product ourselves, and decide whether or not the product before us deserves a CCC BEST PRODUCTS IN THE WORLD Award.

Simple!   Now... what is the criteria to be a BEST PRODUCTS Award Winner?

The product must be useful, of extreme excellence in our estimation, and make an impact in some way so that we would consider the product OUTSTANDING -- a cut above the rest -- in an almost life altering way.   

Let us be humble and say that our final decisions are completely subjective -- we have our own methodology for judging and undoubtedly will miss many extraordinary products due to many constraints in and beyond our control. Furthermore, the products we select may not be up to par in some circles -- so, we will take gracious comments and recommendations to heart.

Of course we must mention that we make absolutely no guarantees that the products are as wonderful as we believe. What we define as par excellence to none may be par awful to someone else. The products we find so superlative may cause allergies, or may not be completely what we  believe them to be. The manufacturer may not have been truthful with us, or may not have spoken to us at all.

We can only offer our beliefs, our careful opinions and our feelings in this matter of judging, and we promise we will try to be fair, impartial, discerning, accurate and wise as we can. No guarantees!

Thank you for joining us, and Let the BEST PRODUCTS IN THE WORLD listing begin!

***  THE WINNERS  ***

No, not ever was there a cleaning fluid that is more versatile, more gentler on the hands, more mildly scented  and more effective than this remarkable product from Breeze Company.  Furthermore, this product is amazingly economical -- it can make you fear for the survival of this very good manufacturer.  Where is their greed, power ploys and manipulations?  Where is the gaudy and expensive container that ominously reveals the dangers and warnings of an overly perfumed, toxic and noxious chemical concoction within?   No, not here!  Not with non-toxic, gentle yet incredibly effective Breeze!  Any virtues extolled on Breeze's recyclable container are TRUE.  This product cleans better than any other cleaner we have ever tried...BAR NONE.  Carpet stains? Food grease? Car grease? Hair Grease? Blood stains? Grass stains? Organic Stains? Chemical Stains? Walls? Floors of all types?   Yes, yes, yes and YES.  To top it off,  there are no chemical odors  - remember, this product is completely non toxic!  Breeze proves you don't have to ruin the earth to clean the earth.  We are deeply in love with Breeze -- and we will try to obtain a license to promote this product thru out the universe.  It is that good!  http://breezecleaner.com

Now what could be so special about a medical spray??  After all, there are other common sprays abounding at the local drug store that seem to do the trick.  Well, let us begin by saying that those other sprays have troubled us with reactions and discomfort, and have not even been close to the effectiveness and gentleness of MEDIQUIK by USDerm.  A quick, cool spritz, and most pain from minor cuts and scrapes vanishes.  Yes, vanishes.  And, the antiseptic qualities cause us no rashes, irritations nor any other negative reactions that all the other products have caused that we have repeatedly tried.  MEDIQUIK is a simple product, a dollar or 2 more than their competition, and worth 100 times that in our estimation.  A cleansing spritz, an additional light spritz on a bandaid, and by the next day you might forget you had that little injury at all.   When you check your little wound, it may have disappeared.  And, even though the competition claims miracle cures,  we have not seen any results that come close to MEDIQUIK.  We would recommend every newborn babe in the world be given MEDIQUIK upon earthly arrival.  Along with our other Award winners as well!

UPDATE: I don't think they make this product anymore - what a shame! So simple, basic and worked better than those fancy others. OUR NEWEST WINNER (but expensive!) Young Living's Lavendar Shampoo and Conditioner. It may be an affiliate product, but this stuff works so well that we'll buy it anyway. You can use it sparingly along with another more generic shampoo to save. The conditioner lasts a LONG time, so hopefully it will be worth the price to you. Sometimes, the extra money is truly worth saving for. They use natural floral essences and essential oils which contributes to the relatively high cost.

ONE great boon - totally natural silky hair WITHOUT harmful chemicals, and we noticed that ALL the other conditioners caused more hair to fall out in the shower or bath. With the Lavender conditioner, no such reaction! And our hair has NOT EVER been better. Yes, we've tried so many brands, super expensive and not - none of them worked like Young Living and Pure and Basic.

You can get Young Living from our friend - no, we don't get a penny for the referral! Here's her link - you can hopefully find the Shampoo and Conditioner there. Good luck! : ) Waterfall Crystals

PREVIOUSLY: For How can anything be so darn good when it's so darn simple?  Why should this simple, natural indexpensive shampoo work better than all those ritzy, expensive shampoos with hundreds of obscure, exotic ingredients?  We don't know. What we DO know is that Pure and Basic Shampoo performs as if it were the most expensive shampoo from the finest salon in the most exclusive locations ANY ELEGANT PLACE IN THE WORLD. You can find this shampoo marvel at your local health food store. Plus, works as a fantastic body wash. They've added a very faint and pleasant fragrance -- hope it's natural and basic! 

What?  Barley green powder?  Yuck, you say!  Now wait,  not so FAST!  Do you want to build or maintain your health? Keep that glorious beauty of yours for as long as possible? Do you want have energy, and a healthy immune system? How about a good complexion, bright eyes, and, a bushy tail? All right, that lovely, healthy tail belongs to your cat or dog. They too can reap the benefits of barley green.  Upon reflexion, we advise you not to use barley green. That leaves more for US!  Barley green is in limited supply and does not grow on trees.  Note: If you really have to do something good for yourself and your family and decide to get some barley green, make sure you purchase organic or the purely natural product without excess fillers from the most conscientious producers. As they say, all barley green is not alike. Email us for manufacturers we recommend.

Beautiful, Mysterious, Creative, Thought provoking, did we say beautiful? And, artistic, escapist, and imagainative, and, well,  filled with Quality. That's what you'll get from DreamCatcher so far, which is a catchy name at that.

Oh, there are movies that you may like better, and there are movies that may have greater story lines and more brilliant acting and dialog, but this movie has something... Beyond. What, then, you say? In a word, genius. Sheer, pure, genius. In what ways? Let us count them. 1. Acting Genius, 2. Captivating humanist touches genius, 3. Conceptualization genius, 4. Animatronics genius, 5. Artistic genius, genius this, genius that. Too much to write all about here. So, suffice it to say that this movie provides  views of plenty of genius, all the while stimulating thought, promoting idle speculative musings, spawning contemplative conjecture,  all within a superbly crafted visual extravaganza. Furthermore, in the grand scheme of things, this movie contains within it, a higher ground, moral latitudes to map our world definitions, a vision of beauty of purpose and magic within the Machine. How else do we try to define who we are, what we are, and why we are?  Watch this movie again carefully, and see the grand design of it that fell together. (With extraordinary hard work, no doubt!) It is a painful movie at times, powerful, thick and heavy. What can one expect when a gathering of extraordinary fruitful minds from around the globe get together and (a ccc-colloquialism) Clunk Heads? Anyway, like a great Van Gogh, this movie (aka. A Work of Art) may not be fully appreciated until a quantity of time has passed, and we might miss what was there all along -- magical, mystical heart entangling elucidation. 

Why do the Sim Games please us so?  Well, how many games are there that can capture interest across the board from men, women, boys, girls and continue to sell sequels whose quality rivals their predecessors? Not too often. The Sim Series captivate and lend a particularly Simmy spin that only Maxis can seem to reproduce. We look forward to Sims in Space -- where Sim meets SimAlien and the Universe takes on a new and exciting absurdity. Ofcourse, all this goodness comes without excess violence, a cheerful uplifting (ignore those humorous disasters) presentation, and a stab at reproducing perhaps, the best of the nostalgic...50s.?! We might have to questions the plasticity and morality of some of those Sim characters,what with their focus on relationships and "love." We would like to make sure all those loving couples are Married. A few minor improvements, and the Sims might coexist in the rarified stratosphere of classics such as Monopoly, Chess, Checkers and...Spin Doctor!

and, more coming!
