…I remember that a wen is a scalp cyst caused by blocked sebaceous glands. :D:D:D:D:D Great name Chaz! ---

Me too. Can’t believe they named it that. It’s like naming a perfume “Fart”. ---

Those commercials make the stuff look ineffective. To me, the guy and the models don’t look like their hair is clean. ---

Good thing nobody named a product for removing hair from private places “Nads,” or even better, never called a weight loss product “Ayds.” ---

Whenever I see one I think about how bad that man’s plastic surgery is. I did not know that about the cyst. Ignorance fought! ---

I’ve never seen such a commercial, but if I did, I suppose I would be eternally surprised. ---

Decades ago, there was a maker of woodworking tools called Wen. I used to have a Wen All-Saw, so I thought it odd that someone would want to wash their hair with an electric jigsaw. ---

> [@Seanette](#): > > Those commercials make the stuff look ineffective. To me, the guy and the models don’t look like their hair is clean. A hardy second on this. I saw that commercial and thought those model’s hair looked like mine after about 3 days without a shower! Good-lookin’ women lookin’ _nasty!_ Didn’t know about the cyst thing. Thats just gross.
