Hey I buy my toiletries all natural baby

Michelle Hebert

Kori, pretty well impossible if you use toiletries or over-the-counter medicines. Better get good at looking every time for tiny print on the back.

Kori Pyle

Fuck them

Kori Pyle

Fuck p&g in every way. I will not!! Purchase anything from them again!

I just googled all the P&G brands of products. A bit disgusted that I own many of them :(

Losing virginity at a Styx concert 😂😂😂

Jessica Vasquez

Born in 1986 here and I remember hearing the satanic church situation but I heard it on Oprah.hehe. In reality my mother had Amway friends and they swore by that story..

Jenn Eiland

I remember most of these issues (at least since the 80s...) and never connected they were all P&G. Thanks for connecting the dots.

Knocked it out of the park with this one. Most intense one yet!

RPGFan

OMG, the tampon bit made me wince. 😔

Navel Gazer

Banger of an episode. I had no idea that P&G was that shitty and had their hands in so many products. Dumping Aleve for sure and looking into what else they make.

Take away: crazy religious fervor and fear can sometimes land on the right side of history. As of now, mainstream religion has been taken over and co-opted by big business and political agendas and now completely contradict many of the values they espouse.

Well done. On all fronts.

Note: This isn't aimed at you, ACC. It's a general statement on the subject of corporations and boycotts.

KatieK

When it comes to corporations, nobody's hands are clean. Boycott what you can, when you can, but don't pick on those who can't. Tell the less evil companies to make their products more affordable. I do my best to stay away from away from anything tested on animals, and pay attention to what's in my cat's food and where it was made. I'm on SSI. I don't have the luxury of boycotting everything.

KatieK

Good luck.

Cloth isn't an option for everyone. Tide gives me a rash.

RandomDeathMetaller

No doubt...I agree.

Francesca Shultz

I stopped working there when I worked for them through a temp agency. We did the dirty work. I was in the QC Lab. I can assure you the AGM currently used is still a carcinogen. My job was to test it was at or below “legal levels” among other things. In 2005. Don’t put any diaper on your kids folks unless it is AGM free. Better yet, go cloth and don’t use tide 😂

I expect some Satan/P&G/Swindled merch down the road

Lex

Brilliant

Rebecca Moore

Thank you! I stopped using Nestle products over 40 years ago when I first learned of their baby formula murderous policy. Good bye P & G, it is the least I can do.

Kim Schwab

This episode is amazing! Definitely a contender for best episode ever! Wow!

Jasan Klepp

Wow what an episode. Between the clever and amusing wordplay to the horrifying descriptions of animal cruelty, I think this might be your best ep so far. And god help us for the role we play in buying the products….
