That’s how I found out about Target. ---

I didn’t know that shopping at dollar stores was a Secret of Women. I thought us guys invented the store where you can get all manner of junk food and everything costs the same in units of one so we could keep a running total in our heads. ---

I’m surprised to find via comments above, that I’m pretty much on my own saying that this soap is disgusting. It may be environmentally favorable, but the only thing I found it useful for is cleaning my oven. It made my hair dull, flat and flyaway. As a hand soap, it caused a filmy buildup on my sink that I actually had to scrub off. The smell was repellant, so as for brushing your teeth with it - don’t even go there. Being over-priced was not a concern, considering all it was reputed to do, but a good can of Easy-Off is cheaper. Sorry folks, I vote “no”. And by the way, if you have enough time to read all the ranting on the bottle, you have too much time on your hands.
