Today, May 30 2018, marks the end of a bottle of shampoo! Why should that be remarkable, you ask? Well, my mother was using this bottle of shampoo when I arrived back in the US in 2004. I’m not sure how long she had been using it before I got home, but it wasn’t new. I’ve used it regularly since that time, at least while I was in the US. After I moved back to Africa, I only used it when I was visiting, so that made it last even longer. It is now 2018. Finally, TODAY, I finished it. Admittedly, I had added water to the contents to get out the last bits, but the contents of the liter bottle finally came to an end.
Is there a moral to this story? I believe there is. In the US, bigger always seems to be seen as better. It is possible to buy almost anything in HUGE quantities, but then where do you store it until you need it? What if it passes the expiry date before you can use it? There are just some things that do NOT need to be purchased in vast quantities, and in my opinion, dandruff shampoo is one of them.
