Well, I’m back 14 days later. Dial Soap Co. sent coupons like they said they would, so sit down so you won’t fall over from your heavy laughter.
I recieved the following coupons:
4-$0.35 off any Dial product.
1- .40 off any Renuzit product
1- .50 off any Purex Detergent
$2.20 total
Thats it! I’ve probably lost hundred$ because of their cost cutting tactics and their way of being sorry is to send me $2.20 so I’ll be stupid enough to go out and spend more bad money on their products!
It’s good to know they own Renuzit and Purex, I’ll be very wary of those products also.
I went to Trader Joe’s and bought the Oatmeal & Honey soap, and I’ve got to tell you, what a great soap to clean your self with! I couldn’t believe how wonderful it felt on my face and……..It’s been 14 days that I’m using it and I can’t see much shrinkage at all.I’m sold on it! And, of course the Honey Bees had alot to do with this soap being so terrific!!
Speaking of bees again (ahem), if each of you and your friends would plant 2- Butterfly Bushes this spring, you will “bee” helping the honeybees a whole bunch. AND, if you become a beekeeper, you will most often be a “conversation piece” wherever you go. It really is a rewarding and gratifying hobby. You won’t be disappointed! Check out my club–www.backyardbeekeepers.com. We just had a soap making workshop!!
Thanks, Joe the Beekeeper

I too feel like I’m being screwed by the soap company (DIAL). After reading all the negatine comments about the shrinking bars of soap, my thoughts are that these manufacters’ must think we’re a bunch of dummies and we won’t object. I placed a call to the Dial Co. and expressed my dissappointment about after 9 showers all I had left was a small sliver that was ready to break in half if I tried to use it again. The woman I spoke to was very cordial and appoligetic to me, and is going to send me some coupons. In the meantime I took another commentors advice and bought 2 bars of Oatmeal and Honey soap at Trader Joe’s. I’ll let you all know how this works out. Me thinks I’ll probably stick w/Joe’s soap W/ the honey in it. I AM a beekeeper and know how very good honey is for us in many, many ways. While I’m on the subject, becoming a beekeeper is a very rewarding experience and I encourage any and all of you to consider trying it as a hobby. You will not only help your local enviroment, if you join a local beekeepers club
you will meet some of the nicest people in the world, and your neighbors will love you, (and your bees ) for making their gardens more bountiful!Thank you all.

Okay, think about it. Which part of the soap wears out the fastest? The ends, right? So by making the ‘hourglass’ shape, the fastest wearing parts are the largest, so the soap doesn’t become a useless sliver quite as rapidly. And that hollow ’scoop’ on top? When your old bar does become a useless sliver, you can set it on top of the new bar and it fits perfectly in the scoop. The two become one and there’s no waste. I LOVE the new shape!

Why don’t you cheats wise up? We consumers are not as dumb as you think.I , among perhaps thousands are boycotting your “cheap shot” product. You carved a “camel- back ” into the bar and got away with it— now you found that you could go one step further and carved a channel into the back!!!!You DIRTY-ROTTEN @$#%$#@$$#.

I’v used Palmolive Soap for about55 years and it too has downsized from 5 oz. to 4.5 then 4 and now it’s down to 3oz. which is just plain robbery. It’ hard to find Palmolive any more but you can usually find it at Dollar stores where you get 3-3oz bars for $1.00 which is a great price but it was sure alot better when it was 5oz.
