Cremo Exfoliating Body Bar – No. 2 – Sage & Citrus

“Cremo Wheat”

The full name of this soap (on the box, anyway) is: “Cremo Astonishingly Superior Exfoliating Body Bar – Made with Shea Butter – No. 2 – Sage & Citrus – A Revitalizing Combination of Bright Mandarin, Dry Herbs, and White Cedar.” What’s with the lengthy soap names? It’s a lengthy trend. With some of them, like this one, I could just type the name of the soap and that’d be wordcount enough to serve as a review! The brand name, and the fact that this soap has wheat as an ingredient, reminded me of “Cream of Wheat” breakfast cereal, or porridge. Which reminds me of a joke—which I more or less stole from Jimmy Nelson—that I’d soon like to be preforming with my partner, “Peter Franks,” my ventriloquist “dummy.” Peter: “Last night I had a dream I was eating cream of wheat. All night long… eating cream of wheat.” Me: “Yeah?” Peter: “Yeah! And when I woke up, half the mattress gone!” Fortunately, the soap is more pleasant than my “comedy.” Interesting fragrance—one word: Aunt and Uncle’s house, late Sixties. (That’s six words. I can count.)
