All I wanted was a simple bottle of shampoo. Instead I was confronted with a range of scents from 'Rainforest Mist', to 'Coconut Banana Grove', 'Strawberry Mango Escape', and 'Green Apple Rainshower'.
When I was a kid we had two kinds of shampoo: 'No More Tears' and that other one that made you go temporarily blind if it got in your eyes. And conditioner? It hadn't even been invented yet, which is why a lot of us back in those days had hair like a whisk broom.
I suppose I can't expect the hair care industry to go back to those simpler days, but it would be nice if I could find a shampoo that didn't make my head smell like a bee-attracting berry pie. If I'm going to have a scented shampoo, I'd at least rather have a smell I can relate to, like 'Transmission Fluid', 'Diesel Smoke', 'Burning Tire', 'Monkey Enclosure', or 'Beer and Beef Jerky'. At least then I'd feel like I'd been involved in some sort of interesting activity, and not like I'd been trapped in an enchanted incense factory.
