[QUOTE=Jim B.] Yes. Sorry about that typo. The box and soap bar did indeed say “Irish Spring” (no _“s”_) **not**"Irish Spring **s**. Sorry again 🙂 . [/QUOTE] I was just teasing you. ---

[QUOTE=Manduck] The TV commercials are back. Their new slogan: “There’s something about the freshness of Ireland that brings out the lasses”. Yes, the freshness of Ireland. It brings lasses out. [/QUOTE] Is this the one for the body wash where the Ren Fair dressed “lasses” get sucked into the bottle of body wash? Because as we all know it’s still 1821 in Ireland or something. I like their stuff too, the body wash and the Speed Stick brand Irish Spring scented deoderant are nice. I can’t use bar soap because my girlfriend likes to direct the shower head on it all the time so my bars of soap become mush. ---

[QUOTE=LifeOnWry] My grandmother found Irish Spring far too strongly-scented to shower with too, but she did like the fragrance, so for as far back as I can remember, she kept an open bar on the back of the toilet tank as an air freshener. (She’d replace it every six months or so.) When I first learned to crochet, I made a pretty little “cozy” for it, so it looked more like a decorative sachet and less like, yanno, an open bar of soap. To its credit, it lasted AGES longer than the Renuzit thingies. [/QUOTE] Heh. I got about halfway through this thread before I resolved to buy a bar and stick it next to the cat box in the bathroom. (Small room + cat with urinary issues = icky stench) ---
