The Norm Classics by Michael Jantze for May 17, 2016

Most likely, there was more money to be made with liquid soap. Though liquid soap does have advantages over bar soap.

Stoopid liquid soap never lets me feel clean. I bring my own bar when I visit the kids.

Welcome to the world of Big Industry.

Big Oil has refined our cities so we can’t live without cars, and our households so we can’t live without oil-based plastics.

Big Pharma has come up with so many new illnesses and drugs that we’re all hooked on something.

Big Chem…..they’re always coming out with new products we don’t need….like more expensive liquid soap to replace the perfectly fine bar soap we had.

It has everything to do with the way the product is made so you will use WAY more then is required. One Squirt of that liquid soap is about twice what you actually need to get clean. Use more and then run out faster then have to buy more. I’ve found all the "Soaps’ are like this. Dish, Laundry, Hand, Body Wash… All of them. Try it, use about half the recommended amount, things will get just as clean. The only difference is you don’t see as much bubbles, which is a marketing gimmick all its own. People have been conditioned that to be good soap and doing its job it has to make bubbles.

Not only have i gone back to using bar soap, thereby eliminating another piece of single-use plastic from my home, but i found a nice bar shampoo.

Perhaps “wafer boy”?
