9. Breck Shampoo

I think of this as a phenomenon called "the MBAs strike again!" A company has been going along making a product a number of people like. Then they hire an MBA, and the MBA revamps the entire product line by making it very attractive to that part of the market that wants to have papayas in their shampoo, and the conditioner too, of course. So then, what used to be a line of three kinds of Breck (for dry, normal, and oily hair) turns into a row of eight shampoos with matching conditioners that promise to do anything you want to your hair, with payaya, and herbs, and everything but bacon, I think. And you can't find the kind you've been buying for twenty years. If that innocent little bottle still exists, it's been sunk by the fruit and flower salad, and you have to find something else. Once again, you've been deserted by the manufacturers. Product loyalty, my Aunt fanny--you can't be loyal to a manufacturer that deserted you.. Can't even find them. I used to use the midnight blue mascara too before I retired.

Enough with the Papayas! Bring Back Breck!
