That was my first instinct to answer before i thought about it. I don’t think it’s been produced in the U.S. in 25 years, but I liked it when I was a kid because it came in a tube (like toothpaste).
I figured I was the only person who’d remember it, so I typed in a different answer. I’m surprised so many people gave that answer (or maybe it’s still sold regionally).
Camel
Coors
Humpty Dumpty
RC
Hoover
Dell
Ford
Black and Decker
Head and Shoulders
Tide
Goddess, this was hard…keeping in mind that most players would be American, my canadian answers to 1-4 (DuMaurier, Labatt, Hostess, Big 8) wouldn’t do as well…
Man, with 2 pages, I hope I’m not late…

It’s still being produced, but it gets very little shelf space, at least at the stores where I shop (Payless supermarkets in Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana). It happens to be my favorite brand – I just washed my hair with it earlier today.

I probably am too late.
You’re post #65 but I counted 15 non-game posts, so I think you’re #50 !
I count 47 valid entries. I guess Rebo will be in with an official count…
I never heard of it either. Sounds nasty.
“Pantene” is the one that sounds nasty to me. It makes me think of people putting panties on their hair.
Since we’re now over 50 entries, I’m labeling the thread [Game Over].
