Remember the old shampoo ad? Was it Prell, or maybe Pert?

"She told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on, and so on"...and the visuals illustrated the voiceover, with the women multipying on the screen.
Someone needs to adapt that to make as a Covid19 PSA. Like yesterday. And then blanket the airwaves and the interwebs with it. Because the stupid is an epidemic too. Editing to add the commercial; lol, I didn't realize it was a young Heather Locklear!

which showed the effect of sleeping with people, you've slept with everyone they've slept with, etc. Maybe something like that needs to be brought forth from the archives.

Prell used to do 2
One was the pearl in the bottle slowly falling to bottom
The other was for the gel in a tube, the guy drops the bottle in the shower. Mess. Then switches to Prell. Same thing, no mess.
Physical chemistry fun fact: the only difference in the 2 formulas was salt. The phase structures peaked just beyond the gel version. So, less salt made the thick pourable version, and more made a gel! That's all there is to it?
