Barkeeper's Friend is an amazing substance. Fill the container with hot water, sprinkle in a liberal amount, cap it and shake for a few seconds until it gets nice and foamy. Let it sit for 20 minutes or so, drain and rinse, and it should be a whole lot better. That's one of those "Oh no I'm out...

Jump to postTherefore in Truman's view, the best outcome could be achieved by striking such a powerful blow, as to trigger unconditional surrender. The bomb gave him that opportunity.
