Note to self, go easy on Shampoo

 https://www.google.com/search?q=shampoo+review+%22vo5%22&oq=shampoo+review+%22vo5%22

OK I don't know why shampoo is so high, higher because of war or covid or supply-chains or greed masking as (war or covid or disease or supply chains)

Every time I shop for shampoo, I wonder how bad it would be to just use liquid soap.

It's true Unilever was sued, but the judgement that I read isn't clear, it's like that lady on "Bones" spouting facts. 
Vaguely, going from reddit, hair-loss has been reported with some shampoo.

Preliminary Reddit link (not exactly exemplary)

I apologize about my reddit link, because there are so many other opinionated reddit links I could have chosen...I was looking for one I saw an hour ago.
More recently, people bombast that there is no proven link between hair loss and shampoo, or "suave" is better than VO5.

VO5 has so many ingredients listed in teeny-print on a transparent bottle, but people (or shills, IDK) push it as a non-hair-losing shampoo.

WHY pay $10 for a bottle that might make you lose hair?
Vo5 is the cheapest I could find in the store.

There should be a paragraph here wondering why shampoos for men, double as body washes, and what differentiates them from women's shampoo.
Testosterone/estrogen?
But it is way too vague, and once you add "for men" or "for women," the price jumps $10. 
Pour Homme vs "Tresemme" (spell checker is having a fierce debate just now)

I also briefly wondered why more expensive shampoos are named after plants or fruit, since they have little or no smell. 
Ignoring the lady cracking open the bottles on the shelf to sniff, I'm talking about the lingering fragrance you get after shampooing.

Well anyway.... Lots of unanswered questions: Price, Hair-loss, smell.

Unilever (apparently) is the death-star, the GOP of shampoo makers.


"Why was Unilever sued" is way too vague.

So, ignoring "Why" and limiting the lawsuits to shampoo:



The other stray trains-of-thought have no home.
Harry Belafonte belting out "Shake, shake, shake Senora" (no ñ)
And where bananas will come from or will people just stop buying them:

His girlfriend's name is "Senora." O. I missed that part.





They made a board game, sort of.
You have to reeeeeally use your imagination,
to answer trivia questions and get some money. 
See, now that is why I'm poor, no game show or fake coin is gonna make me get off my ass. I don't understand the show or the new coins.
well, anyway

I like "Match Game" instead. At least, the original version.
The questions were random, the answers weren't obvious (the celebrities tried to be cute or contrarian) and you had just as much chance of winning as on the most complicated game show.
Harvest losses
d...uh, hmm
But don't they wanna eliminate capital gains?
Buy NFTs and eat the bananas (IDK)


I don't know the formula for income you owe $3000 on, but anyway "Crypto millionaire" sounds like $3000 is peanuts, why do you care who gets it.
(Unless maybe it's a competition at the billionaires-boys-club, who pays the least taxes)
