'member Reader’s Digest?
My parents had that but for some reason I chose the shampoo over it
This honestly. Lots and lots of magazines in a basket on the wall.
Good ol’ days

Gotta be careful reading those dr bronners, you might get sucked in to the cult
Dude wtf is that… I bought some spearmint toothpaste off Amazon didn’t pay attention to anything, just wanted spearmint. Package came in and it was Bronners. The box scared the shit out of me so much I immediately through it in a closet because I was too scared to open it.
Haha that’s fair. Honestly though they make legitimately good products and while some of the stuff they have written on there is a bit cuckoo, it seems well meaning and some of the ideas they present (e.g. taking care of the earth and each other) are actually good

That explains the bottles.
Seriously though, glad he got out. His ramblings were coming from a good heart and his soap is legendary.
Life before smartphones, I’d bring a laptop to the bathroom, before that, I’d bring newspapers/books, and before that, theres radios.
Edit: Yea I don’t know when radios were invented, I always assumed they were like ancient. Too depressed to think lol.

Wait a second…
Crystal set with one wire in the water?
Oh I’m not that old lol, just saying that’s what I’d do if I lived in that era.
What I was more confused on was how there were radios before newspapers and books.
Idk my depressed brain can’t think for the moment. I was always told that radios are old af and since I’ve seen newspapers and tv existing at the same time but rarely used radios, my dumbass brain automatically assumed that radio is the predecessor of both newspapers and tv.
Lol it’s all good.
Yep. Used to be able to scratch off individual letters to alter the words. As a child I think s, h, a and m were a common target.
“All-one or none”
I was all about Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader, a collection of facts a lot of which probably aren’t true but it was entertaining.
But this was absolutely the backup option.
“Oh, sulfates huh? Tell me more. Rinse and REPEAT?? The fuck outta here.”
I’ll forever be grateful to those thronal thespians of the page, who told me exactly whence the phrase, “Close, but no cigar,” came from.
“Wait. ALL this shit. On every bottle?”

If you used someone’s bathroom back then who had Bronner’s, you really hit the jackpot for reading
I used to work at a book store and the smart phone killed sales of uncle John’s bathroom reader.
I miss magazines in the jon
I don’t use my phone in the bathroom. Stopped 3 years ago (I suddenly started to find it weird and filthy).
I just learned to accept that I am weird and filthy.
It is filthy. Objectively, they’ve done studies on this and it’s gross. That’s not going to stop me from using my phone in the bathroom though.
But at this point I view someone’s smartphone as a deeply personal object - I work retail and I often have customers ask me about something on the store website, I always ask before touching their smartphones. I don’t know why, but it’s always felt appropriate to ask. And then find the hand sanitizer after, because that’s their germs, whereas my smartphone has my germs and I’m fine with that, lol.
