Kroger Lemongrass Basil Hand Soap

So this one has been a long time coming. That is for those of you who have been traveling and may have heard I was going to write about the hand soap in my bathroom and thus really had little else to think about. But some of my other loyal readers probably haven't heard me talking about soap, so I have digressed already.

Let me start then, by telling you (you) that my eye tends to be caught by those little yellow sale tags when I shop at the grocery store. I suppose that some look for a certain brand or something and that is how they buy things. When I intend to pick up some toilet paper or tissue paper this is what happens. I walk to that section of the store that shelves what I am looking for, or past it, several times as it happens and I turn to the shelf and stare. I back away from the section of items to fill my vision with my choices. My eyes see sale tags, quantities, price per ounce, price per pound, sheets per roll and so on and I work for my value. That's just a bit of insight as to how I shop. So, like, imagine what else is there. Let's get back to what this is all about. Soap.

King Soopers is my store, I know where things are in there. The organic milk with the hormones that make my brain smart. I put that in my coffee. The frozen pizza for when I am just hungry and shopping is not a great idea. I know where they keep the lettuce I like, and when they bake bread (everyday). You get the idea. So one day, and I don't even remember when so you will just have to forget about that part, I am soap-shopping. And I do exactly what I have done since I first went soap-shopping: I get the cheap store-brand stuff. I already did the whole stand back and stare thing so I knew what to do, you know? So this time it wasn't the normal watermelon scent but I wasn't exactly there to peruse so I bought it and took it home with me. That's when people stop being nice and get real.

Kroger Quality Guaranteed Lemongrass & Basil Hand Soap in the 7.5 oz 221 ml hand pump bottle is the best soap ever made. It smells like spring rain in a mountain meadow. Once in middle school, a girl passed me, and I smelled her and that smell had me awkwardly trying to catch another whiff of her for awhile. Now I have a whole bottle of that smell. And it doesn't think I am weird. It is just a bottle of soap and so cannot pass judgment. That's up to you. It's Lemongrass-Basil soap; it smells like subtle lemon and basil-not like pesto-basil, but like basil in a field-basil, pasture in the misty rain-basil. It's nice. I really enjoy having it there. Sometimes I check out my hand-scent just to see what's going on there. Quite often it is lemongrass-basil.

I think that I am going to be saddened when I next go soap-shopping and find the soap flavor has changed again. Although change is good, maybe right now there is a Kroger soap scent engineer working on the next best hand soap scent. I hope so. And I think maybe I should have lent more credence to the watermelon scented soap that preceded the lemongrass-basil scent. I wonder what came before watermelon. Apple is nice. Mellow.

And if you are reading this thing and thinking 'double-u-tee-eff?!!' I will mention that this Saturday I replaced the muffler and tailpipe on my Old's and afterwards I washed up with Lava, which is a good soap. It'll take the skin off your hand. But it ain't Kroger.
