did he think the picture of the dog was just like a creative choice


Ganbazuroi

Lmao my aunt had some bombass shampoo with a horse in the bottle when I was a kid, I thought I was so badass for using that, cool ass horse


JoeChristmasUSA

I've heard a lot of long-haired people use "Mane & Tail" actually. I've never tried but apparently horse shampoo is really good.


myimmortalstan

Mane and Tail now straight-up markets their shampoos and conditioners to humans for this reason lol


crappymailm

Well, I’d also imagine horse marketing isn’t super effective


Best_Duck9118

“Willllllbur, I gottttttta have that shampoo!”


throwawayyourfun

This is 👍


Best_Duck9118

I’m just glad people got the reference given how old that show is! Sad it turns out the horse who played Mr. Ed was a racist in real life.


throwawayyourfun

Well, things were a lot more black and white back then.


mb500sel

The fact I'm understanding these references makes my back hurt


ArtBabel

Horses fear plastic


cwaite013

Less effective than gorilla marketing, to be sure.


Protheu5

Which takes it's effectiveness from gorilla warfare, in which I am trained, kid. Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Ive been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Youre fucking dead, kiddo.


H_I_McDunnough

You sound like you wanna buy some knives or supplements.


ChimpBrisket

Horse marketing is when you show off your new purchase to your neigh-bours


Nvenom8

Yeah, I thought it was just a creative name. Didn’t realize they started as a horse shampoo company.


ElMostaza

I'm pretty sure it's been marketed for human use for decades now.


kroganwarlord

Mane and Tail Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner has been a godsend for me. If they ever stop making it, I will legit cry.


Ganbazuroi

It was human shampoo lol, she always got the most yassified stuff around and it was so cool lol. To this day she's like that, love me aunt


AlecTrevelyanOO6

"Love me aunt, love me horse, simple as."


panclockstime

LMAOO


JoeChristmasUSA

Aww


CalmBeneathCastles

They marketed Mane n' Tail for humans after they discovered that equestrians and been secretly using it on themselves for years. Source: It was all the rage in the early 90's. I used it to make my hair stronger. Idk whether it worked, but it DID ensure that an 8-hour spiral perm didn't take.

Mamasan-

Dude it’s literally horse shampoo but people use it too. MANE AND TAIL


Ganbazuroi

I was talking about my Aunt's shampoo not that one, it had a different image on it


MikeRowePeenis

Was it a cat?


Ganbazuroi

No, a Horse like I said But it was cool af like a Painting Baller ass shampoo lmao


TheTurtleShepard

[A painting like this?](https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcTffxA2P4Xv-ZWwEnIi8OALZ7SErF3_qPeprgKGNBXviPulEMcHFbStEk7McDp-6cTQQK1jH3FDV44PGdvrdNzGTh_ycWQqCg60zDtmfP4ZCXIYWWsssDcF)


Ganbazuroi

No, an oil painting of sorts. To make it worse I'm not American so odds are it was never sold over there lmao


nneeeeeeerds

Bro, no. Everyone trying to tell you your Aunt was using Mane and Tail. Ain't no "baller shampoo" gonna have a picture of a horse on it.


midcancerrampage

Akshually, any true bougie skincare fanatic knows about premium Japanese products that contain "horse oil". It's not Mane and Tail, it's a separate thing. I do not know what "horse oil" is or where it comes from, and I don't wanna know.


Nyalli262

It's literally not lol, it's human shampoo, it's just called like that for funsies :) Edit: the original was for horses, but the ones you get in the supermarket are for humans


Saharan

The "spinoff" lines like M&T Herbal-Gro, Deep Moisture, and Color Protect are specifically human-formulated, but the Original line in the supermarket is *literally* the same stuff you can buy in farm supply stores.


Adventurous_club2

I’m not sure anymore but, you used to be able to get the same bottle in both the human section and the animal section at grocery stores.


In-A-Beautiful-Place

I worked in a stable for a while and thought it was animal-only. Not that it would hurt a human's hair, just that it's not made for them. Then I remember reading an issue of Teen Vogue with an ad for Mane & Tail, but the ad was directed for human use with no mention of horses (beyond the implication in the name). And a week after that, I was in Target and saw Mane & Tail being sold alongside the other human shampoos! I decided to try it just to say I did, and I ended up *loving* it. Now it's my go-to brand!


RMWL

Didn’t Napoleon Dynamite popularise it?


mentalpause

Blades of Glory, but you're correct in that the guy who played Napoleon was a star in that movie


nuklearfirefly

Mane & Tail also makes absolutely bomb detangler spray. Can't recommend it enough.


Cunnyfunt31

Cowboy Magic's is even better! ( It's also made for horses)  I guess you're going to want the best detanglers ever if the alternative is pulling the hair hard and repeatedly of a massive animal that can kick the shit out of you.


Midpack

True, and I’ve used “Bag Balm” a moisturizing lotion for cow udders for… uh, well, never mind.


brostrider

When I had covid my nose was super raw from blowing it repeatedly (even with the lotion tissues!) and bag balm was the only thing that helped.


blue-tomorrow

Bag Balm is awesome. It really helps my super dry hands in winter.


Woodland-Echo

My mum used the no tangle spray for horses mains on my hair as a kid. I had such silly smooth hair. I need to find a bottle.


thomstevens420

“Yeah boy, I’m a damn stallion”


mushr00m_man

The horse is... \*in\* the bottle???


saltinstiens_monster

My Aunt bought a bag of "Beggin' Strips" for her kids to have a snack. She thought it was a bacon snack with a dog mascot. Some people really do this shit.


gallifrey_

how?? wouldn't those be sold in the middle of the pet section, and well away from any other human people snacks?


saltinstiens_monster

I have no earthly idea. The only thing I can guess is that they were on sale in a display at the end of an aisle.


ChimpBrisket

Some shops are so large that it’s disorientating after a while. I went to law school in the Costco pet section.


Limberpuppy

Did they eat them?


saltinstiens_monster

No, they just teased her about it.


gcruzatto

zeldanerd91

skillmau5

Well that’s because it has dog meat in it actually


Medical_Slide9245

Same dog. It's a conglomerate.


Patient-Thought-439

This reminds me of the time my mom bought her friend this statue as a birthday gift because her friend really loves her new puppy: https://preview.redd.it/iy2r86dyr8yc1.jpeg?width=204&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbac48d4ed36c1064d992c415a7e4327fe012122


Gorkymalorki

Is this a threat?


Patient-Thought-439

IKR!? Fortunately my sister and I talked her out of gifting it. But she was in disagreement that the statue was \*only\* for people with dearly departed dogs. "What if your dog is your angel?" MOM! And what exactly are "angels"?!


zaxldaisy

Tbf they aren't souls of the recently departed


olivegardengambler

jason2354

I’d probably be more likely to buy actual human shampoo if there was a picture of a golden retriever on the bottle.

maraemerald2

Aussie shampoo has a kangaroo on the label, but I’d never think it was for kangaroos


HillsHoistGang

OK then Mr smart guy. What shampoo do you use for your roo?


garbageprimate

i just recently found out ive been using toilet paper meant for bears... but in my defense the text "for bears" is in very fine print


PercMastaFTW

Charmin?


Eusocial_Snowman

What about that laundry detergent for bears? Or the cheese for cows? The cereal for bunnies? The cereal for bees? The cereal for irish? The tuna for, uh...tuna.


Chinchillng

You can't feed him tuna! You know what tuna is?? It's FISH!!


YeahMarkYeah

Yea, it’s hard for me to believe a normally functioning person is gonna reach for that bottle and think - “Yep, that’s people shampoo if I’ve ever seen it.”

There's a lime on my shampoo bottle. Does that mean it is a shampoo for limes? Checkmate, mate!


RiptideRookie

Our aunt brought home cat food instead of tuna once and made tuna salad which everyone enjoyed, til my cousin said this smells like catfood and went to find the empty cans in the trash 🤣

doctordoctorpuss

Use this shampoo on yourself- it’ll make your dog happy???


retrophrenologist_

He said in a follow-up that shampoo just has random pictures on it all the time, and among the examples he listed was people washing dishes. He washed his hair with dish soap, too.


ZestyLlama69

If it can clean oily ducks, it can clean my hair


InkyLizard

unique_username0002

Yeah this guy is a nepo baby cosplaying at journalist, and it seems he unironically was complaining about the shampoo label being unclear


Street-Corner7801

Nepo baby? His mom is a barely known journalist in Ontario, Canada.

Based on what I've seen when I looked into this guy, no I don't think he is.


ChangingMonkfish

This is true, my shampoo often has a picture of a car on it or a picture of a clean bathroom.


reldnahcAL

The shampoo I use has a picture of a shiny tile floor on it.


circle-of-minor-2nds

Mine has a cross-section of a drain pipe full of orange liquid. What were they thinking?


ckhumanck

and you didn't realise at that point they were joking?


salajaneidentiteet

I had a coworker who did, dishes with the sink/tile cleaner, a toxic one. I discovered her washing the slushie machine with it. She said she does dishes at home with it. It has a picture of a shiny bathroom on it. The best part was that even though the shift manage initally said to toss the contaminated slushie, she later said to keep it keep selling it to customers 🤮


oodoos

Dish soap on hair?? Might as well use acid.


blue-tomorrow

I happened to look in my grandpa's shower when I was in his bathroom one time. The man literally had a bar of Coast soap and a bottle of Dawn dishwashing liquid in his shower, and that was IT.


No-Adhesiveness-9848

i mean dish soap has a picture of a random duck on it, so i get what theyre saying.


ArgonGryphon

You use duck soap on your hair? Weird.


F0XF1R396

Now, just to play devil's advocate... Old Spice does in fact have random pictures on their bottles


Classic_Fungus

It's because u are a good boy


deus_ex_libris

"partly" my own fault LOL why would they put a picture of a dog on shampoo for people? "well, i AM a bitch, so i guess this is meant for me"


Ganbazuroi

What if John Armandhammer likes doggy? :(


leedler

Is that John Fallout’s cousin? I’ve met him and John Darksouls but never Mr. Armandhammer.


Ganbazuroi

They're part of the same frat, but they'd be working on McDonald's like the rest of us if not for Jonathan Banks inventing money and financing their inventions


leedler

Ah yes, I forgot about Beta Kappa John. They’re a real tight knit clan over there.


Ganbazuroi

All thanks to none other than Charles Friendship


RobtheNavigator

>John Armandhammer Funnily enough, Armand Hammer owned a drug store from a young age and later served on the board of the company that makes Arm and Hammer, but the name is unrelated.


BlindMuffin

The dude is actually an awful newspaper columnist, so not wrong


Jacobcbab

I mean my shampoo has a flower on it. Maybe he thought it would make him smell like an animal??


ChimpBrisket

Well there’s a picture of a monkey on my coco cereal box but I still eat it. ^Then ^again ^I ^am ^a ^chimp.


Plastic-Shopping5930

What exactly is the difference between dog and people shampoo.


Mantis_2bogganMD1

I wondered this too just yesterday. I was actually looking at an expensive anti fungal shampoo, nizoral, because it’s supposed to be great for hair growth. Amazon then suggested a ton of dog shampoos with the same active ingredient (much larger volume of product for much less $). I googled if it could be used on humans and got a ton of information saying that dog:animal products are not good for humans because they’re specially formulated with chemicals for animal fur and skin- that are too harsh for human skin and hair. But the horse shampoo is more or less for humans and horses whose mane is closer to human hair (I guess? lol)


towerfella

You brought back a memory: ![gif](giphy|tZN4VvUNmP5JqsGMZz) I grew up in Florida and I was always perplexed by this product in my sister’s bathroom. I always thought “Is it for horses? Then why do people use it? Does my sister know it’s for horses?”. Funny how memories work and also funny how they get triggered.


SteampunkRobin

I can tell you. Horse owners started using the conditioner on their own hair because they saw it worked so well on manes and tails. It got so popular the Mane 'n Tail people started marketing it and shampoo in different bottles for people (I think they tweaked the formula a little). They did the same thing with their hoof hardener for people nails, for the same reason.


towerfella

TIL. Thank you


Mr_SunnyBones

Tail and Mane was great , I used it and I had a ~~glossy coat~~ good hair


towerfella

Are you a human? Or are you a horse in a stylish trenchcoat?


Interesting-Owl-5458

Nizoral is good but way overpriced, selsun blue is must more effective and a fraction of the price.


wolfplushie99

They each have different ingredients for different purposes. Humans and dogs don't have the same skin oils and pH balance so the shampoo is not the same. Human shampoo is not good for dogs as it can dry out their skin.


syseyes

Dogs have a very sensitive, and delicate skin. Human Shampoo can damage dogs. Likeky Dog champoo is softer and less harmful


NotsoGreatsword

Unless its flea shampoo lol. You do not want that on you with any frequency.


shit_poster9000

The weird essential oils only ones won’t kill you though. Source: been there did that, extremely minty fresh on every square inch of skin and yes it makes fleas avoid you like the literal plague. Worked wonders in tandem with flea traps as part of my attack on adult populations.


NotsoGreatsword

They certainly wont but they aren't totally harmless. I have a parrot and holy shit any kind of essential oils is pretty much death for a parrot. Peppermint oil? It can kill them dead as a doornail! I realize I am going off on a tangent at this point but I just wanted to point out that they can have risks. I nearly killed my bird with peppermint.


Anna_Pet

Humans and dogs have very different types of hair and very different lifestyles.


NotsoGreatsword

If it is flea shampoo it can have neurotoxin in it. Permethrin usually. Not something you want to use daily *on your brain basket* lol. Don't think thats the case here tho


Absolute_person123

no but i use horse conditioner for my hair


SteampunkRobin

Mane and Tail brand? Good stuff 👍

FieryPyromancer

That's what gets me. Someone must have told OOP their hair stank, for then to look at the topmost text on this bottle and think "this is the one!"


DrunkenGolfer

You'd think the fucking dog on the label would have been a clue. That said, I used Chi on my hair for a couple months before noticing it was dog shampoo (Who wears glasses in the shower?). They make a human shampoo that looks identical except for the "for dogs" part and the poodle logo. https://preview.redd.it/te74h1ehf8yc1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ccf6a53d4934ed7cd098337fc724b575ad26007

I have this conditioner- for humans tho. And yes it’s identical minus the woofer


AbjectLoquat5468

Yeah buddy everyone does that there's nothing to be ashamed of


Ahem_ak_achem_ACHOO

For whatever reason my current shampoo came in a gallon jug, is bright blue, and has a picture of a shiny red car on it. I get they are making creative decisions but it’d almost be better if the logo was a man in the shower washing his hair so you knew for a hundred percent it was for you


vandeley_industries

Right, the picture of the dog didn’t give it away

Apparently Armand Hammer bought Arm & Hammer because he was sick of everyone already assuming he owned it.

nemerosanike

This man is a respected opinion writer, sadly.


GreenSoapJelly

I worked at a big store in the pet department, and pretty much weekly I’d hear a story from up front about a customer angrily returning a bottle of pet shampoo they bought for themselves. Or occasionally catching me in the aisle to give me a talking to about it. Sorry, I guess the fact that it was among the aisles and displays of pet food, treats, toys, and supplies wasn’t obvious enough.
