Guaranteed to grant you at least a 5 foot perimeter, and anyone getting closer than that will be subjected to watering eyes, gagging and respiratory distress. Winnie the Pooh is too mild, I go for the jugular with the Barney song.

Nobody gives 2 shits about them and they'll bail. If you have the misfortune to have someone try to show you theirs back, talk over them about why yours are better.
