Why is Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo still on the market?

Nothing happened other than I got clean.

Maybe. Have you counted your nipples lately.

I have the usual number. I do know a person who has three, though. Back in college, he made the claim, and then he showed us. Sure enough.

Must have eaten too much broccoli.

Not just guest, but also my extended family when they come to visit. They've even commented to me about it. There's something nostalgic about smells from the past. It's kind of amazing, that stuff will last forever.

Well then use it every now and then yourself when you're feeling nostalgic and give your guests a fresh bottle.
The ingredients list has probably morphed into other things at this point, some possibly unknown to man!

On that note, I have a friend who essentially has 3 testicles. He is pretty much my tightest friend, so I trust but don't verify. I take his word.
But now I wonder if long ago he had nad dandruff and used a 20 year old bottle of Head and Shoulders.

Recently, the European Union took a significant step by including Zinc Pyrithione on its list of banned substances due to its potential DNA-damaging effects.

"Potential" is not proof.

Potentially, a huge asteroid could wipe out the human race.

Two lady barbers when I got my hair cut said that H&S is bad because it dries out your hair. Since I have oily hair, I think this is a great thing.

Wow, the level of incompetence is shocking. There are any number of conditioners that can be used for your particular type of hair.

Well except for the DNA damage.

It hasn't been proven.

Your DNA is potentially damaged simply by existing.

I just used it again an hour ago. Nipple count is still at 2.
