Three in five millennials think bar soap is gross: research firm

Marketwatch ^

[Red in Blue PA]

‘[A]lmost half (48%) of all U.S. consumers believe bar soaps are covered in germs after use, a feeling that is particularly strong among consumers aged 18-24 (60%), as opposed to just 31% of older consumers aged 65+.’

They’re expecting a visit from behind when they drop it in the shower. But they probably like that.

I grew up on Butch Wax.

Now I have no hair.

Not long ago on a radio show the topic was how millennials are also opting not to use shampoo.

And they also dislike bar soap. Probably deodorant too.

Perhaps THAT’S why they can’t find gainful employment!

Marketing the naive millennials:

Bar soap______ $0.50-$2.50 per bar
Body wash_____ $7.00-$25.00 per bottle

Go figure........

Googling lye soap, one finds that there really was/is a Grandma’s Lye Soap. It’s in the book!

Three in five millennials think bar soap is gross

They think?

I use Old Spice....Why?????

[TYVets]

They should be made to only use homemade lye soap.

It cleans the skin that remains after it is used.

[oblomov]

They should try Fels-Naptha. Who knows what germs are lurking in a sissy body wash bottle?

[ETL]

It is when people leave theirs out with hair and stuff stuck to it. I always keep mine in a soap holder.

[Shadow44]

I do! But Old Spice is trendy after that marketing campaign with “The Man you’re man could smell like”. Suddenly it wasn’t the stuff only your dad wore.

I also stick to the original, instead of the dozen or so new products they have since released.

Hey, I recently stocked up on the Ol Boomer classic after shaves and colognes . .. Old Spice, Brut, Brit Sterling, Eng Leather

Next up, Mennen Skin Bracer and Aqua Velva, Baybee!!!

Grandma’s Lye Soap.

Old soap was made form meat scraps and bacon grease and wood ashes to make soap. Lye became available so it was easier to use. Lye and olive oil and other oils can be used to make a descent soap.

Did you get any Hai Karate?????

[ROCKLOBSTER]

The way it worked was, you put your hand under it, and nothing happened. When you removed your hand, it would deposit soap on the floor. Repeat as needed.

I've seen that one. Was it KFC?

[Graybeard58]

Do you use Old Spice, too?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Aqua Velva man here.

Hard to beat Old Spice Original After Shave and Deodorant....
