I'm reminded on The King of Comedy. DeNiro, in a great performance, walks up to Jerry Lewis[Johnny Carson type character] and holds out what looks to be like photos, saying "I want to show you my pride and joy." Jerry looks, expecting to see photos of kids and sees pictures of Pride and Joy dish soap. Rupert Pupkin, that's the DeNiro character's name. Lived in mommy's basement in Brooklyn.
I have to admit I feel less anxious as long as the house is stocked with a container of Drano Max Gel. Yes, you can laugh about consumerism all you want but the battle with my shower drain would be lost without that miracle product and then where'd I be?!
I cannot stand, CANNOT STAND, a laundry detergent with any kind of smell added, like lemon or lilac or any other odor they call perfume. Awful. I want it free and clear or fresh and clear, whatever phrase indicates NO PERFUME and no coloration. The shelves are full of that awful perfumed stuff and for the life of me I don't get it. Don't people want just the clean unadulterated smell? But apparently many want that coating of perfume. Rant over.

Bleach, borax and brighteners.
Proctor & Gamble will tell you that white wash looks whiter with a touch of bluing. It masks the dingy grey that whites take on over time no mater how often you wash. And you do realize that bleach works by taking off a surface layer of fabric. That's why clothes get thinner over time.
Detergent companies who making these clothes detergent pods are getting sued for injuries and death of children. Kids think they're candy. And lawsuits involving kids are BIG $'S. Damages regarding loss of income are computed to age 65. So a 5 year old has 60 years of loss income.
The guy in the picture makes me laugh. He's a model and they told him, "Okay, now stand behind her and act like her husband." He's afraid to touch her. He's afraid his girlfriend will get mad at him, him mum won't understand, he's not comfortable at all. She is, though, she is comfortable. He is not.
I'd pull in close intimately to touch so our nether regions touched and I'd actually slobber her neck with furry animal abandon as you do in the kitchen like that. But see how he stands? What a precious glass-like marriage! He's model but not an actor. And there he is in the perfect situation set up perfectly to have fun, the chance to be legitimately imaginative and playful. And they're paying him for it. And paying him well too. He's making more here on his lunch than he does all day as mechanic.
Who knows? Maybe he did do all those playful things with a beautiful babe brought in just for that and all those photos were rejected in favor of this prosaic one. But I doubt it. He's an uninteresting model. Anyone else sent by his agent or anyone else at at the cattle call could have done better. That's why he kills me.
April, I knew you weren't a cultist. If you do want to learn about Scientology and just how evil it is, the HBO doc, Going Clear, is a good watch. There are so many good documentaries out there.

Is this a subtle birth announcement? Details! I need details!
Is this a subtle detergent joke?
It's an old Christmas joke.
I used to the taxes for the guy who designed the packaging for Glad Sandwich Bags and Tide detergents. He used to make those jokes all the time.

Why are so many of major brand cleaning products blue?
Why do we associate clean with blue? (or blue with clean?)
I don't want the blue in there. I want clear.
Cheer beer.

Here you go, April: "From the land of sky blue waters"
"I want clear."

Rub some bleach between your fingers sometime. Feel slippery? That's a layer of skin sloughing off.
April, Are you a Scientologist? Going "clear" is the highest level one can attain in their cult, err..religion.

Well, I hope they keep making them and profiting handsomely therefrom.
I did a uplifting poem years ago consisting only of the names of feminine hygiene products.
It's nice to have a local chemist. Thanks for clearing that up, chickl.
Spinelli - NO.
Why do they make mouth wash blue, green and purple?
I buy the Listerine clear.
