the bible quotes are kinda weird tho, im just tryna scrub my ass
- Dr bronners wouldn't be Dr bronners without the schizo ramblings all over the bottle, and there truly is no better ass-scrubbing medium
  
  I don't know what we're all using Dr. Bronners for and at this point, I'm afraid to ask.
- It's the Time Cube of the bathroom world.
- I think they just ran out of things to put on the bottle
- cleanliness is half of religion
  
  God loves ~~a fool~~ motherfuckers who are so fresh and so clean clean.
  "Ain't nobody dope as He, He just so fresh and clean."
  The bible probably idklol
- Words to live by.
I had never seen this before and took a look. And.... wow. Words fail me.
- It's dog food? From OP's image I assumed it was penis enlargement pills. Looks exactly like a package of those dumbass "supplements" you can get at a gas station lol
  
  The crazy looking food, itself, has decent reviews, but the owners of Gentle Giants used to run a puppy mill disguised as a dog rescue from what I have found about them.
  There are quite a few bad reviews about the puppy mill from the mid to late 2000s. Like this one for example.
- Dude also claims that his Great Dane (that he developed this food for) lived to be like 27 years old or somthing stupid like that. Great Danes live like 5-7 years, typically. Maybe like 10 on the outside if they don't die of bone cancer first (they get that a lot as a genetic side effect of being bred to be huge). The oldest confirmed dog ever was supposedly 31 years old (https://www.npr.org/2023/10/25/1208478868/bobi-worlds-oldest-dog-dies-portuguese), but these sort of age record-breaking dogs are highly suspect in general because dog life expectancy is pretty consistent by breed.
- Is that the Disney font?
  
  It looks close to the Disney font but not close enough for Disney to sue them.
- If less is more then what the hell is that?
  
  Nothing.
Gentle giant is made by the actor who had massive orgies with Adam West, also he played Robin boy wonder on the original Batman TV show.
- Do his products come with a guarantee or do you have to just take him at his Ward?
- Dude can’t stop telling people that he played Robin. It even says so on the package.
  
  The high point of his life I'm sure, makes sense he'd be hardstuck
  
  To be fair, literally everyone asks "what kind of lunatic made this?!" upon seeing his packaging. The pre-emptive answering of the question seems well warranted...
- Friend, who in Hollywood at the time DIDN'T have massive orgies with Adam West?
My parents order that dog food and this picture doesn't do it justice with how fucking overwhelming the packaging is.
- I worked at a pet store that carried it for a bit and just looking in its general direction was a sensory overload
- It took me longer than was comfortable to even realize it was dog food!
  I thought at first glance it was prepack prepper meals
  
  It would work in a pinch I suppose: "just add water!"
  Your username is hilarious
Our boy here standing like how i used to draw people
I remember the first time I got a bottle of Dr. Bronners. The text on it was all about PTSD treatment and hallucinogenics and was like just a bunch of news clippings about veterans being treated with magic mushrooms and what not.
The one I have now reads like a cult leader wrote it. Almost every sentence is an incoherent mess of ranting about All-One and God.
- Different bottles have different rants - I think the PTSD/shrooms one is the almond soap. Peppermint is the All-One nonsense one
  We had peppermint in our bathroom for years so imagine my surprise when I read a different bottle and it not only wasn’t batshit but kinda fuckin rad
  
  I've only ever gotten the peppermint one. The only other one I've ever seen around here is lavender, which I keep wanting to try and never do.
I've read the Dr Bronners bottle so many times while pooping
- ALL-ONE!
  
  EXCEPTIONS? ETERNALLY NONE!
- Just an FYI, he actually wrote a book. You could buy it from Bronners for $2.00, not sure the cost now.
  
  Looks like inflation has come for the Dr. Bronners book.
On a related topic to weird hippie products.
I really hate the changes that Tom's of Maine has made since they got bought out. They stopped packing their toothpaste in metal tubes and went to plastic, and they separated their deodorant in to “male and female” lines, and it’s been getting hard to find their unscented deodorant. They got bought out a while ago admittedly, but the changes have been coming on faster lately.
Like, the new ownership is trying to make them more competitive with other brands, but I always liked them for what made them different from the other big brands and it drives me up the wall how often such good products get ruined by the companies being bought out.
- I have never once heard of a beloved brand bought out that didn't turn into a quality drop, product abandonment race to the bottom.
insanity soap is all you need:
Always towards the heart!
Don't talk shit about Bragg ACV they at least used Helvetica!
That means one of them uses a Mac
- The overlap between health food store frequent flyers and Mac users is pretty high. I think we're talking about a particular subset of people mainly from the bay area here who started using a Mac in the Steve Jobs days and haven't deviated
as a hobbyist graphic designer these packages are... interesting for sure
- Outsider art
Liquid Aminos looks like a jar of Luxardos and now I want to whip up an old fashioned at 7am lol
