No Tears?
But in the TV commercials they pronounced it "no tears" as in no crying, and depicted kids wiping it away from their eyes with no problem.
And in French the translation is 'ne pique pas les yeux' which means it does not itch the eyes... So I also think tears means crying here.

you know what? in italy, the no tears shampoo is advertised as "non più lacrime" which literally means no more tears as in crying. so! you're definitely not alone there my friend.
Maybe the ones that translated it in different languages thought about tears from the eyes too :))

In france its "ne pique pas les yeux, evite les noeuds" wich would say "doesn't sting your eyes, avoid knots"
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.
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. No more tears - water coming from your eyes - marketed for children's shampoo because kids are dumb and don't close their eyes when you rinse their hair. My god, you are a bunch of animals.
definitly it means tears as in crying, because, in the language I speak (for example) there is no room for linguistic doubt.. it's just false advertising =D
Of course it's about crying. That's why kids don't like washing their hair, because the shampoo hurts their eyes.
Even the picture of an eye in the package indicates that.

In México is traslated as "no más lágrimas", which means no more crying. I also put some shampoo in my eyes when I was a kid and it burned like hell. Of course I drop a lot of tears. It`s a lie.
It doesnt make sense to me still. Why does "tears" relate to tangles but it seperatly states no knots which is basically the same thing...
It's also translated to other languages to mean no crying (and the cartoon eyeball on the packaging pretty much playfully hints at that, too).
Also, in Mexico it was "Sin lagrimas" so.. no tears.. as in the eye tears...
OMG my mum laughed at me when I showed her the tear in the label right next to where it says "no tears" and told me that it meant no more tears caused by getting soap in the eyes. I DON'T HAVE FAITH IN ANYTHING ANYMORE
I tried to tell my mom about this post and she wouldn't listen.
YOOOOO WHAT I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT MEANT IT DIDNT BURN YOUR EYES LIKE OTHER SHAMPOO
It think it means if you got a normal amount of suds in your eyes, not a whole glob of straight up shampoo.
They were referring to tears of pain from working the taangles out....
In fact, in spanish is translated as "no más lágrimas", wich means "no more tears" as in no crying, so... Even our translators were tricked
No. It DOES mean 'no crying'.. but it DOESN'T mean that u squirt the product into ur eyes n be fine! For accidentally eye contact only!
Accidental* gah! My distraction n my stupid spell check!

I understood no more tears as in no more tears when ur mom comb ur hair because it is tangle free after the shampoo...... thats why my mom baught it
I always thought it was like no tears because you won't cry when someone brushes your hair because its not tangled
This is No More Tears as in cryihttp://www.target.com/p/johnson-s-baby-no-more-tears-shampoo-15-fl-oz/-/A-13682488?sid=345S&ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Baby+Shopping_Local&adgroup=SC_Baby&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=m&location=9032925&gclid=Cj0KEQiA_eXEBRDP8fnIlJDXxsIBEiQAAGfyoeX5p6mbG8jd7yzl3l-mA1wJrI9JqTW1QfHuUB6jw64aAm9h8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.dsng shampoo:
In Mexico they translated it to "sin lágrimas" that means "no tears (crying) soooo...
on French TV it used to be "ne pique pas les yeux" as in "does not hurt your eyes (no tears)"
The big open eye-like shape, printer on the bottle, also suggests it's about 'no tears'' as in crying.
I've seen this a few times, and each time I see it, people comment, like they are here, and like I'm about to. It's no tears as in from your eyes. If this person, having their mind blown, spoke any language besides English, they would know this. Just because tears are written before knots and split ends, doesn't mean they relate to hair. Who's hair tears away anyway?
On the bottles in french, it's written "pas de larmes" which would mean no tear as in crying ...
With all the chems in shampoo 'no 😭 tears' is so not possible, it should say 'keep out of the reach of children' or warning explicit chemicals
I think it means no tears and is no crying because to say no split ends AND no tears would mean it to be basically a redundant double entendre - BUT, I think in this way - being tears is spelt the same way with different pronounciaton and meaning it pretty much just covers their proverbial asses!
I am trying really hard to convince her because she thinks I'm faking it when I say it hurts to get "no tear" shampoo in my eyes.

Watermelons Are Berries? And Strawberries Not?
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.

"Yep, it's true. I bet you never really though about it before, huh?" You ever "thought" about spell check? Fail journalism is FAIL!
Hm… It can't 'see' one without the other so can you really say the scanner sees the white instead of the black parts? It's always both.
