Random Reasoning of the Day: Snapple Fact

If you drink bottles of Snapple, then you realize there are many valuable facts that reside under the cap of "that stuff". If you are not familiar with these; Snapple has a list of retired all-stars on their website. In general, these facts are very useful for your everyday life. A couple of my favorites, and I feel most beneficial, could be: Retired fact #360"Mexican jumping beans jump to get out of the sun" or Retired fact #92 "fish can drown". You can check out the whole list here: http://www.snapple.com/retired-facts/
I mostly relied on these facts to save me from life threatening situations, like alligator attacks and stubbing my big toe, but you must be weary of the generality of many of the facts. Today under my delicious Snapple Peach Tea I was presented with the active fact that "An average bar of soap lasts 2 times as long as an average bottle of body wash." The first thing I thought was, "What is the source on this information? Chances are this was discovered by JoAnn Schmit during a 7th grade science project." Upon further consideration I thought there was way too many conditions for this to be proven as scientific fact.
1. What is an average size bottle of body wash? We all know most everything in America considered average is 8oz, but everything we use comes in a 16oz bottle. I consider 8oz travel size and nobody uses that.
2. Unless you have the bar of soap somewhere in the shower where it is not actively in contact with water, it dissolves fairly quickly.
3. It depends on the type of person you are. Are you a, "Little goes a long way" or "I use way too much toilet paper so I don't get poop on my hand" type of person.
I guess long story short is, I am pro body wash because I don't feel like a wash cloth gets the job done and I don't want to be rude and put the bar of soap between my butt crack and then put it back for the next household member to rub on themself. Main point being, "Don't believe everything your Snapple cap says. You may start wasting money on bar soap."
