Inane memory.  
In the early and mid 70s we used a shampoo that came in a tub. It was pink and a paste, not liquid. You grabbed a handful and slathered it on. Rinse. Repeat.

Any idea of what brand this was and if it’s still around? This was in missouri, but I think we used it in California too.

Yes I’m bored on a Friday night.

Did your family buy Amway products at all? I have a faint memory of something like that with Amway or Shaklee, but I can’t pin it down.

I remember using it. It had kind of a shimmery sheen to it. I can’t remember the name of it, either, though. It was from the regular drugstore, not an Amway or Shaklee product.
