you mean this isn't shampoo?
Last week I cleverly left the shampoo bottle open a little bit and got in the shower the next morning to discover that it had all leaked out onto the floor. (The bottle was getting low, so I'd started keeping it upside down to make it easier to get the shampoo out.) I spent the next few days using Mike's shampoo and then finally got around to buying some more of mine on Monday. We were in a hurry because we were taking the kids trick-or-treating later, so I went in the store, glanced at the shampoo selection, grabbed what I needed, and checked out. I looked at the bottle long enough to check that it was the right kind and to note that they'd changed up the bottle a little, so I was quite surprised the next morning when I went to wash my hair and realized that I'd grabbed conditioner instead of shampoo. Luckily, the store let me return the conditioner, but I had another "Oh, crap, I can't believe I did this again" moment the day after. Redkin apparently changed up the shampoo a bit, so instead of being clear like it used to, it's now a cloudy white - just like the conditioner. I had to double-check the bottle before I used to just to make sure I hadn't made the same mistake again.
