        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.

  • 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

      Dr bronners wouldn’t be Dr bronners without the schizo ramblings all over the bottle, and there truly is no better ass-scrubbing medium

          It’s soap. Like, traditional, no frills soap. Vegetable oil reacted with potassium hydroxide. It’s a very effective way to make oils mix with water so as to rinse them off of stuff. So if you just want a substance that removes excess oil from your body, it works.

          Basically no other major cosmetic company sells a product like that anymore and if you don’t trust those companies, that’s what Dr. Bronners is for. Just gotta deal with the ranting on the bottles.
