Really?

I used to love bubble baths.  All the foam.  All the herbal aroma.  Listening to the bubbles burst.  That weird metallic salty smell from Mr. Bubble

My years in chemistry taught me that the weird metallic smell is because t's SLS- Sodium Laureate Sulfate..that's what makes the foamy bubbles.  You might remember Mr. Bubble as a bunch of soft white flakes...which turned out to be toxic when inhaled (It's amazing we all survived our Mr. Bubble bubble baths)

So, yeah....

Fun.

I was really excited when my daughter got her first bubble bath...

...and now that she's hysterical fear of the bubbles, she really enjoys it, too.  And asks for it by name, now (ah, how the marketers would be so proud of her).

But like all things, the price of our dear old Mr. Bubble solution has skyrocketed.  So, like all good couponers (I think that's actually the term...), I've been shopping around for the lowest price.  (It's currently in-store Target).

I was horrified, however to find this product ->


WHY?  Do we really need to encourage the use of propellants on our children!?  Wasn't huffing a huge problem- so big, in fact, that you had to show your driver's license to buy Redi Whip?  Are you going to have to show your license to buy Mr. Bubble now?  Not that the product is in any way ecological- just the opposite- very toxic to the plants and soil and water table.  But did they need to improve that handicap?
