The Soap Wars of ‘08

Ok, am I the only one who thinks that Softsoap smells like crap? Back me up here?

I guess it smells clean or something, but it doesn’t smell good.

This is just a theory I’m throwing around, but I think guys like to use Softsoap because, deep down, they’re concerned about cleanliness or they’re somehow interested in creating a certain lack of bacteria in the house.

Oh, ha ha ha. I just cracked myself up.

What I REALLY think is that guys put Softsoap out because they like other people (and by “other people” I mean “women”) to think they wash their hands…and it helps that it’s basically free. I mean, they’re practically GIVING it away at Sweetbay.

Anyway, I’m generally happy that they’re giving this impression and, in the case of some outliers, are actually washing their hands.

I guess what I’m saying is that maybe I shouldn’t be so sad to see my delicious Bath & Body Works soap demoted to “not close enough to the sink to be the soap we’re going with but not far enough away to actually be considered part of the recycling bin.”
