2 in 1 - What a Fantastic Concept!

This is me.


I’d show you a picture of my shoulders, but nobody wants to see the flakes.  That’s right: I have dandruff.  Big deal.  The problem isn’t that I get  a little flakey at times, I mean really it’s not an uncommon condition.  The problem is that the only shampoo that actually works for me is Denorex.  Smells funky, but it really does the trick.

And the only Denorex I can ever find in any of the grocery stores that I frequent on anywhere near a regular basis carry only these:

 

2 in 1.   Shampoo Plus Conditioner.  Does it look like I need conditioner?   Do the inventory clerks in charge of stocking shelves think that bald people don’t get dandruff, too?  If only that were the case!  I am not ashamed of my baldness, but even if I were, I  would welcome it gladly if it meant I would never have to worry about wearing dark shirts ever again!

Honestly, I could buy the 2 in 1 and use it, and it would work for me.  The problem is, I would be paying for 50% shampoo and 50% conditioner.  Half of my money would be wasted on a product I just don’t need and cannot benefit from in any way.  I’d like 100% of my purchase go towards a good cause (the same reason I don’t plan to donate to the United Way, despite my company’s campaign to get 100% participation this year… but that’s another rant and would belong on my political blog rather than this one).

Please, anybody who lives anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley (or even within reasonable distance outside of SLC), if you see Denorex, just plain old non-conditioner Denorex, let me know! (Please note, the color of the label indicates "Regular versus Extra Strength", not "Shampoo vs. 2 in 1")

How ridiculous would it be to have to order a non-prescription shampoo over the internet?  That's about where I am.
