I was at work today and getting ready to leave; I took off my surgical scrubs and decided to shower. While in said shower I had an idea for a new product, a new shampoo in fact.
I slapped a handful of Pantene shampoo on my noggin and a light bulb went off over my head, how I didn’t electrocute myself I don’t know.
I thought a new shampoo that was not only biodegradable and safe to the environment, but incredibly, edible too.
What?
You’re out hiking in the wilderness (that’s the areas outside your computer room covered in green stuff called grass and trees) and you can use the new shampoo to wash your hair, cleanse your body, washes dishes and other equipment without contaminating the water table and harming the wildlife. The added benefit is you can eat the shampoo too; you’re in an emergency situation maybe, you’re lost, stranded, and you’ve eaten all your rations. Pump a glob of the shampoo into your and and chow down. It means you can survive until the search party locates you.
While lathering in the shower I took the idea further (Pantene don’t taste very nice btw), what if the shampoo is suitably flavored? You could reduce the time it takes to get ready in the mornings by washing your hair and eating breakfast at the same time.
That is if you don’t mind washing your hair in bacon flavored shampoo.
Now I need to patent the idea and think of a name for the product. Providing of course someone hasn’t already beaten me to the marketplace.
Edit: Carolyn made a product improvement suggestion; The shampoo while being flavored will not be scented, so the bacon flavored shampoo will not smell like bacon. Apparently the bacon scented stuff may well attract undue attention while in the wilderness, like bears!
Thanks for visiting.

Apparently none of us need to wash our hair!
Years ago there was a programme – and I can’t remember it’s name but something like Tomorrow’s World, or It may even have been tomorrow’s World – now wouldn’t it be interesting to go back and have a look at that now??? (note to self – go investigate TW)
Where was I? Oh yes, our hair has a self cleaning setting that we mess up by cleaning it manually! If we left it alone long enough (it has to get worse to get better) it would naturally keep itself clean and healthy. It was proved by a woman with long hair who didn’t wash it for weeks.
So just go eat breakfast and forget the shower!

I remember Tomorrow’s World, used to love that show. Yeah apparently all the gunk we use to wash our hair doesn’t do it any good.
not to question carolyn’s wisdom, but no girl who’s hair smelled like bacon would be lonely for more than a minute or two. not on any planet i reside on at least.
chris´s last blog post..srsly, how delicious does this look…
You have something there, just have to worry about the wildlife trying to feast on your noggin.
If you could eat your shampoo why couldn’t you wash your hair with your breakfast? The mind boggles. I think I’ll keep my shower and breakfast separated.
I never said it was a good idea
Least if you washed your hair with bacon you wouldn’t need to buy hair cream or gel to slick it back with.
LMAO leave it to a guy to think of bacon shampoo… I agree with Chris…This could be a lonely woman’s answer to it all!
cheesy´s last blog post..What a week….
Well you can get coconut and watermelon scented shampoo so why not other foodstuffs.
Only trouble with going out with a girl using the bacon shampoo is you’d always be feeling hungry and trying to stave off the urge to start chewing on her hair.
Honestly? I think you might be onto something huge here… waiting to read about you in Fortune.

Don’t hold your breath on the Fortune article. I have some ideas now and again, this might not be my best but there seems to be an interest in bacon flavored edible shampoo.
I would think that bacon flavored shampoo would really be the only option.

Dan, pepperoni and mushroom flavored would be good for the pizza aficionados.
If this happens, we would always hear people screaming ‘Why did you eat all of our shampoo! I need one now!’
Yeah that could be a problem, I better rethink the edible soap then too.
I’m pretty sure I would follow anyone who smelled like bacon around all day.
The only thing that would be better would be shampoo that smells like chocolate chip cookies.

Mmm chocolate, that would be good.
My husband always reminds me that genius and insanity always goes hand in hand–this is so crazy it just might work!
Yes, but which hand is which, am I crazy or genius?
