Phisohex was made RX-only in the early 1970s. When I stopped actively practicing pharmacy in 2012, it was unavailable and had been for some time. That’s unfortunate, because it was used by people who are allergic to chlorhexidine.
Yep. Walgreens is the only place around here that sells it. It’s not for everybody, but since I have the oiliest skin on the planet, Prell is the only shampoo that enables me to go 24 hours before my hair reverts to its natural “Jerry Lewis 1964” state.
Didn’t Fred Flintstone endorse it, or am I confused?*
It’s not uncommon to see Jew’s Harps marketed as “Jaw Harps” but I’ve seen them being sold as “Bruce Harps.” Ha! Didn’t fool me.

I buy it every year for my swimming pool. It is used to raise the PH level, at a cost of about one-fourth of the stuff you buy at the pool store. It’s on the shelf at my supermarket.
My wife uses that a lot.
Coming soon to a cleaning supplies aisle near you, all new Latinx and Span!
Bartles & Jaymes. after the “Thank you for your support” commercials ended, it just seemed to go away. Then a couple of months ago I saw some on the shelf at a store.
matter of fact, I think it’s “wine coolers” in general; they didn’t seem to survive the '80s.
We have Prell in our bathroom all the time. It’s high detergent content is great for after swimming in the lake or ocean.*

But is it still so thick it takes a pearl forever to sink to the bottom? 
Of course it is. Why else do you think it was available in 2258?
Fred and Barney endorsed a lot of things, mostly cigarettes. Shocking to see today, but it was an “adult” prime-time cartoon.
You say that like it’s a bad thing. Urgh. Wine cooler puke… even worse than Boone’s Farm or Ripple puke.
Hardly. The “wine cooler” segment is more popular than ever. Contrary to the name, wine coolers were never made with wine. They were malt beverages, made with a brewing process like beer. Flavored malt beverages are extremely popular now, even if most aren’t called “wine coolers”. All of the Redds stuff, Seagrams, hard lemonades, hard root beers, malt-based cocktails (margarita in a can), etc. are very similar or identical to wine coolers. Sweet, soda-pop-like drinks for people (mostly girls and women) who don’t like the taste of beer or dry wine. They are everywhere and very popular.
Do you have a cite for that? From what I can find, it seems they originally were made with wine, but a tax in 1991 made it much cheaper to just go to malt. Here’s a 1986 article from the NYTimes that mentions them being made from wine:
You know, you might be right. If so, I stand corrected. I only remember them as malted beverages. In my state, malt beverages and wines are sold in completely different stores, and I remember malt-based “wine coolers” being sold in the beer stores. I’m guessing before the tax you mention there were some being made both ways. Even now, I see concoctions that could be called “wine coolers” being sold in both liquor and beer stores, but there are lots more in the beer stores.
Oh yeah, you can still buy buggy whips and their are craftsmen who can make anything “old” like swords, stone tools, parts for Model T’s, etc…
Save me your clove flavors, please, if you don’t want them.
Then I’ll share my Email Diamant toothpaste with you, and our teeth will look whiter because it tints the gums red. I first read about it in a Colette novel.
And I still use V05 shampoo every day. The kiwi-lime smells amazing and costs a buck a bottle.
Carter’s Little Pills (formerly Carter’s Little Liver Pills).
Which reminded me of Malt Duck. Drank (and regurgitated) mostly by teen girls.
Looks like it may have sorta made a comeback
