Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Gay Bomb shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Gay Bomb offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Gay Bomb at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Gay Bomb? Wrong! If the Gay Bomb is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Gay Bomb then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Gay Bomb? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Gay Bomb and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Gay Bomb wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Gay Bomb then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Gay Bomb site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Gay Bomb, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Gay Bomb, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
"
Gay bomb" is an informal name for a theoretical
non-lethal chemical weapon, which a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing.
In 1994 the
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in
Ohio produced a three-page proposal of a variety of possible nonlethal chemical weapons, which was later obtained—complete with marginal jottings and typos—by the Sunshine Project through a
Freedom of Information Act request.
In one sentence of the document it was suggested that a strong
aphrodisiac could be dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also cause "homosexual behavior". The aphrodisiac weapon was described as "distasteful but completely
non-lethal". In its "New Discoveries Needed" section, the document implicitly acknowledges that no such chemicals are actually known. The document also included many other off-beat ideas, such as spraying enemy troops with
honey bee pheromones and then hiding numerous
beehive (beekeeping) in the combat area.
Wright Laboratory won the 2007 Ig Nobel Prize for "instigating research & development on a chemical weapon—the so-called 'gay bomb'—that will make enemy soldiers become sexually irresistible to each other."{{cite web | title = Winners of the Ig® Nobel Prize
