Way to clean up there Snowy. Good job.
Nice puzzle. Solved it when I had a eureka moment.
Pretty hard for me, I don't think we have any of those brands here! (but please note that we do have soap!)
I loved the TONE of this teaser. I think you had a good SAFEGUARD in that your hid the words in sentences that had absolutely nothing to do with eath other. Good job!
Glad you guys liked it! I thought about using the words in a "short story" or just a short paragraph, but that seamed too hard. Thanks for the nice comments!
What a refreshing teaser!
hahaha i got it after thinkin about it a lot...and i thought of "clean" and i thought soap...and i was right, wooo! very good, i liked this one lots
got it with the help
I found that they each had TWO things in common. Agreed, each contains a bbar soap brand name, but each is also a simple declarative sentence, so they have a common link grammatically.
good fun. needed the hint though.
Great teaser Snow!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to take a shower!!!
Wowie wow wow snowy!
This teaser is cool!
Though I could almost never figure out any teasers, iwould NEVER solve this one. That's because I have NEVER heard of any of these soap brands.

I got it with the last one. Irish Spring gave it away for me and I went back through the list and saw that I had figured it out.
Thanks for the great teaser.

Thanks for the nice comments! I was wondering if "Irish Spring" would give it away for some.
