Worse product ever invented
that can be bought over the counter:

2 in 1 shampoo

Using this junk is the equivalent of soaking your hair in a limestone concentrate, with the tangles as difficult to remove as caulk deposits at the end of a faucet.

Stuck w/my boyfriend's shampoo in a hotel room, I gave up trying to comb my hair (literally OUT) after a morning shower and resign myself to tying hair up in a ball, wet, and wearing a wool cap to avoid catching cold out in the snow. I'm now in the recovery process post- second shower of the day.

Don't buy this product! It sucks! Use bar soap in a pinch instead.

1. I totally agree...
I have very fine hair and the 2 in 1 shampoo makes a mess of it, regardless of brand.

2. How old was it?
I thought they stopped making that stuff years ago.

"Pert," wasn't it?

After using it, your hair was neither cleaned nor conditioned.

5. "Pert" it was.
I'll have to ask him how long he's had it...think it was something he stored away for travel days.

I thought I was going to have to cut a swath of hair off my head, leaving a huge bald spot, I was that tangled. How that product ever passed inspection is a mystery.

8. Those where fun
My cousins and my brothers and I used to play with those at my grandmas house all the time. We even invented a variation of the game we called "dodge jarts" that incorporated elements of the classic playground game dodgeball.

11. Those things were awesome.
Too bad some darwin award candidates had to ruin it for the rest of us.
I still play jarts.

13. Those rocked! They should still make them.
I had a lot of fun with Jarts as a kid. We were warned not to be idiots with them and nobody got hurt

15. I agree
I'm so sick of people and their g.d. cell phones. People, I don't want to hear them ring and I don't want to hear your conversations. And above all I DON'T want to see you with a steering wheel in one hand and your g.d. cell phone in the other!!! Why is that so freaking hard for people to understand ?????????????????

16. Yes!!
But I'm feeling a little bit out of sorts about that lately. Would you believe, I'm the only one I know who attends my university who doesn't own a cell phone??

People look at me like I've committed some sort of sin when I tell them.

9. As long as you use and extra leave in conditioner, 2 in 1 is a good thing.
