T-fal Ultraglide Easycord Irons Take the Hassle Out of Ironing

Bring ease and enjoyment back to a once daunting task with Ultraglide Easycord Irons from T-fal.

The key lies in the iron's signature feature — the patented Easycord system — designed to keep the electrical cord out of your way as you iron. With a simple push of the Easycord mechanism, the cord automatically pops out and doubles in length. Not only will the cord never get in your way, the Easycord also makes it easier to store.

"These irons offer more stability and a higher level of performance than ever before," said Nalini Tandon, product manager for T-fal/WearEver.

The irons are backed by a one-year warranty and feature a patented nonstick, scratch resistant soleplate.

Other attributes that make ironing with the T-fal Ultraglide Easycord Iron faster and easier than before include:

— 64 steam holes on the ironing surface to provide exceptional steam distribution.

— Vertical steaming and powerful burst of steam.

— Three-way automatic shut off.

— Wider base for greater stability when resting on the ironing board or other surface.

— Ease of water refill through a wider inlet and a rubber seal to prevent water spillage.

— Extended heel to optimize cord storage.

— Comfort handle to reduce fatigue.

T-fal Ultraglide Easycord Irons are available in various colors and models. Suggested retail prices range from $40 to $50. For more information, call 800-421-1223 or visit www.t-falusa.com.

HIJINKS

It is one of the first products that turns any beverage into a personalized energy drink without seriously altering the taste or calorie level of the beverage. Give yourself a boost of energy by pouring HIJINKS into juices, sodas, water, smoothies, sports drinks or any other favorite drink.

HIJINKS contains 200 mg of caffeine and 10 calories per 1.1 oz.

serving. It provides a 1,100 mg blend of taurine, caffeine, inositol, glucuronolactone and L-carnitine — providing energy without unwanted or unneeded ingredients. It is also made without any artificial flavors or colors.

The energy drink comes in handy any time of the day. In the morning, forgo coffee or tea. Instead, add HIJINKS to juice for a more nutritious start to your day. When you are feeling that after-lunch crash, add the energy mixer to a smoothie to get through the day. When preparing for a workout or to get through your exercises, simply add to water for that needed boost of energy and hydration.

John Thomas, M.D., is the founder and president of HIJINKS.

"Energy drinks and energy shots are very popular products," said Thomas. "We wanted to offer another type of the energy product that is similar to both, yet very different. It is an unflavored energy liquid that can be added to most any beverage, without changing the taste or palatability, transforming it into an energy drink."

HIJINKS is currently sold in health and tennis clubs, fitness stores, specialty food, natural food and liquor stores, as well as restaurants and bars. It has also partnered with Zen Robbi, a Southern California rock band, to help spread the word.

A single bottle retails for $3, a four-pack is $10 and 16 bottles are $36. For more information, visit www.hijinksenergy.com.
