When I was little, I read the part that said "Ophthalmologist Tested" and I thought that an ophthalmologist was the same thing as an optimist, which gave me the impression that they would take an optimist and put the shampoo in his eyes and see if he teared up. He wouldn't care about having someone put shampoo in his eyes because he was an optimist and was therefore always happy. I was a weird child.

I had the Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo for myself and my younger brothers growing up. that stuff you could put directly on your eyeball without any kind of irritation.

What they meant was that it didn't hurt the rabbits eyes, apparently it's unethical to test on children now.

I never had this stuff. My mom used to buy us the Pert Plus 2 in 1, which really was acid. My littlest sister got it though, and she still gets it, even though she is 12. Im jelly bro. Shit smells like strawberry heaven.

I always thought no tears meant that it got the tangles out of your hair so it was easy to brush out.. Not that it didn't burn when it got in your eyes..

By no tears they meant after using this shampoo your hair with never be torn again.

Fucking Banana Boat 'Maximum' SPF 50 sunblock. Put it on during a trip to Nevada. Was blinded by tears for the entirety of a three hour road trip thru Red Rock Canyon. Used all my drinking water for cold eye compresses. If we can put a man on the moon, why can't Banana Boat develop a sunscreen that doesn't etch your corneas like two counterfeit printing plates? Seriously, fuck you in the ass with a hot poker, Sun Pharmaceuticals.

Good lord is that ever so true. But sweet baby jesus did that stuff smell so damn good. squeezing the bottle and taking in all of the scent was the best part about it.

I think no tears meant that they didn't irritate sensitive eyes after use.

TheGatsby · 8 months

The only time that I would keep my eyes open while shampooing was after watching a scary movie. I was always terrified that when I opened my eyes some terrifying creature would be in my face.

YodaBrains187 · 8 months

I think the best part of this is that I am reminded when I heard this was tear free. So letting the shampoo get directly into my eyeball was my first mission. I discovered that day that corporations lie...

Interesting fact: that shampoo is actually probably closer to alkaline. The pH of your eyes is slightly different than your skin. The formula they use is regulated to a pH similar to that of eyes and not your hair or skin which typically sits at a pH range of 4.5-5.5 whereas your eyes are approximately 7.4 on the pH scale

Edit: For Accuracy

Am I the only one who actually closes their eyes and looks downward so that shampoo/water doesn't get in my eyes?

Nuh uh. That shit was fine. I remember taking a shower with my dad when I was young and I wanted to use his Head and Shoulders... I got some of that in my eyes and I was screaming.

Later in life, I got a glass shard stuck in my foot and a compound fracture in my arm. I still feel like the Head and Shoulders was the worst...

All of those kid and dog shampoos that don't burn eyes is done with a pain reliever, so it really is burning the eye, they just don't feel it.

'Twas the ol' Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo for us lil'uns.

I read it as "no tears in my ass", needless to say it was one hell of wtf moment.

JX3 · 8 months

Someone once said that the "no tears" part doesn't mean that you wouldn't cry, but rather it means that your hair wouldn't tear. I think it applies here as well as the other text around the "no tears" part talk about the condition of your hair as well. It's a bit of a scam though as the only reason our parents bought this shampoo for us was because they thought the "no tears" part meant it wouldn't burn in our eyes. Personally I kept my eyes closed so I never tested if it burned or not.

sharkdude95 · 8 months

Not to mention the bottle was creepy as fuck.

wolfmayne16 · 8 months

I KNOW! I still remember my mother telling me not to get that in my eyes and I looked at her and said, "It's no tears, I can dump it in my eyes and it wont hurt." I then got the smallest bit in my eye and felt like my eyes were melting away.

dsigned001 · 8 months

So many people on Reddit complaining about shampoo in their eyes. How do you guys manage to get some in there ? Holy shit I'm 27 and it only happened once because I was upside down after a drug store hair dye. The rest of the time I'm cleaning my hair with it not my fucking face what it wrong with you?

DanGod392 · 8 months

I was already using Crew when this stuff came out. I know nothing of this "torture" you speak of.
