Gary Johnson joins The Duck Stops Here election soaps

Since we introduced The Duck Stops Here election soaps, we’ve gotten the sense that customers love the soap, but hate the candidates they represent. Said one customer, “This dragon’s blood scent is awesome, but I just can’t stand Donald Trump.” We told her that as soon as she cut off the label, she wouldn’t know that Donald Trump was all over her in the shower.

Worse, the shampoo contained some ingredients like sodium laureth that we’re a little leery of. This spurred us to develop an unscented pet shampoo. Because a pet’s sense of smell is 1,000 times more sensitive ours, we felt it important to make it unscented for your pet’s comfort--and dignity at the dog park. Our all-natural pet shampoo...
