Daria B 8 years ago
They do so already. At least in Korea. The sight of men carrying the over one shoulder type of bags, as well as fancy backpacks, is so common that no one even thinks about calling them "manbags" or anything like that. And it doesn't look weird or not even feminine at all.

As everyone has pointed out - it is supposed to be "no tears" like, liquid from your eyes. That's how they said it in the advertisement. Also, I'm guessing it's simply not as strong as "adult" shampoo but still wasn't meant to go straight into your eyes.
Kristi Zoebelein 8 years ago
I'll google it for you.....""No more tears" shampoos gain that effect from the nature of the chemicals used in their formulation, which trade off cleansing ability for mildness. Mainstream shampoos generally contain lauryl sulfates that irritate the eyes and scalp but also leave hair very, very clean. Baby shampoos instead use long chain surfactants (which are far less efficient in emulsifying oil from hair) or they include an ionic polymer in the formulation, either of which helps prevent the product from stinging when it gets into the eyes. "

It is tears as in crying. Tears (as in tears in your clothing) is pronounced differently. But I don't think they were ready for the Jr. Myth Busters to come along and pour it directly into the eye.

It IS 'No Tears' as in crying for pete's sake. It is not in question. Stop trying to make this alternate b******t happen.

Watermelons Are Berries? And Strawberries Not?
Kristi Zoebelein 8 years ago
This is a little too simplistic and doesn't accurately describe anything. Pumpkins and zucchini are squash but can technically be considered fruit. But then again so are beans, corn, coffee, and cucumbers. Strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries are aggregate fruits. Bananas, coffee, pistachios, peaches, and olives are drupes. Well....technically coffee is the pit of the coffee fruit....but still weird. Basically if you are eating the STRUCTURE of a plant, then it is a vegetable. Celery is the stalk, carrots are the roots, lettuce is the leaves...and so on. If the plant produces flowers through pollination, the result is a fruit regardless of what it looks like or how it tastes. Science is cool.

The Arrow Next To The Gas Symbol Shows Which Side Your Tank Is On

If it doesn't have an arrow, then when the dial points to empty, it points to what side your fuel cap is!
Илья Берляев 8 years ago
Yes, why is your comment incorrect is that if that was true all cars would have different gages, like almost 50/50. Ones would have left-to-right readings (from Empty to Full), others would have kind of backwards readings, right-to-left. This would be very confusing to most people, and some people change cars often, there are rented cars, company cars, some households have several cars... this would be nightmare! You would freak out sometimes that you have no gas at all when your tank was full and sometimes you would end up with dry tank in the middle of nowhere. But there are cars with backwards or kind of weird gages though (vertical digital, for example, horizontal, etc). In fact, my first car had backward fuel gage (Seat Ibiza 6L) and it took some getting used to. And everybody getting in my car was confused with the fuel readout and I had to explain. :-)

Cassie 8 years ago
My kid does the over-the-ear thing and it's pretty practical because when he removes the earbud from his ear it just hangs there so he doesn't have to hold them or sling them around his neck and they're right there to put back in when he's ready.

Death Metal Kitty 8 years ago
This is just stupid. The over-ear approach is meant for IEMs and ear buds that are designed to be worn that way - primarily so you can run the cabling down the back of your clothes and to your lumbar area where the wireless receiver is usually attached. Wearing regular earbuds like this just makes you look silly. Not everything is a "hack", and not every "hack" is logical either.
