This morning, after my shower, I noticed a bottle of what appears to be "Oil of Olay Complete Body Wash" in my shower.
I'm thinking to myself, "What's 'complete' mean here?"
Does "complete" mean like the body wash covers all body parts? You can wash everything with it -- hair, head, feet, etc. Sounds a tad dull because you can pretty much wash your whole body with any soap-like substance. I've used soap on my hair a few times in the past. I don't recommend it for regular use, but it works in a pinch.
When I was in England, I couldn't find bar-soap readily and ended up purchasing "body wash" at the local chemists (pharmacies). I used it for hair and body. Said body washes never claimed to be complete, though.
I worry. Did I miss something in England my family member (I'm not sure exactly who uses this Oil of Olay stuff, I'm guessing it's neither my 16-year old nor my 12-year old sons) isn't missing now? What could that thing I'm missing be?
Maybe "complete" means the components making up the body wash are all you would ever possibly need in a body wash -- nothing else required. If this is the case, then how can anyone be sure they got all the requirements needed for a "complete" body wash? Maybe there's one or a few components they've missed? Is this body wash really complete?
Ever notice for most t.v. breakfast cereal commercials the cereal is always part of a "complete breakfast" including orange juice, milk, and toast. I'm always thinking, when I see such commercials, "Come on. You could eliminate the cereal and still have a 'complete' breakfast with that!"
Who decided cereal, milk, orange juice, and toast are a complete breakfast? Did the US government declare this fact? Do doctors and nutritionists universally agree that cereal, milk, orange juice, and toast are a "complete breakfast"? What are eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, grits, coffee, and a biscuit? Would that be a more complete or less complete breakfast or equally as complete but differently complete?
Speaking of body wash, I then looked at my shower with further scrutiny and noticed those mesh scrunchy-thingies women use to slather the body wash on their bodies with. I say women use them because I know of no man who will admit to using a mesh scrunchy-thingy in the shower.
Some men may admit to using wash cloths. I don't really understand the purpose of a wash cloth myself. I mean, why get in the way of me and my bar of soap? I got the soap. Just apply it directly to the skin. No need for a middle man. After the washing, you now have an additional item, the wash cloth, to launder, fold, store, etc.
No. I will neither confirm nor deny to having tried the mesh scrunchy-thingy once or twice in my lifetime either.
