WTF Etsy?

[keen23]

I'm looking for some nice soaps for my neighbor for Christmas, and I came across this complete WTF product-

etsy.com/shop/PottyMouthSoap?ref=l2-shopheader-name

 

Seriously. This seller is seriously selling soap specifically for parents to "wash" their child's mouth to "stop bad language." This is pretty awful.

I thought maybe it was meant to be a joke since they said it would make a great stocking stuffer but once I read the description I think they are actually serious. WTF!

Since it is the Christmas season and since we are talking about washing kid's mouths' out with soap, I give you this clip from A Christmas Story where we see what happens after Ralphie says the F dash dash dash word:

NOT INTENDED FOR INTERNAL USE

Um, the mouth is considered "internal." Covering his/her ass because it's abusive to do as the directions imply?

[dawbs]

it's "fun and effective"

Effective, debatable. Fun? fun for WHOM?

I thought washing a kids mouth out with soap was just an expression and people don't actually do it. But considering I have read To Train Up A Child, nothing shocks me anymore.

I had my mouth washed out.

Not the worst punishment in the world...not one I plan on using though.

I think I had a touch of pica when I was a child, because I would eat dishwasher powder on a semi-regular basis...it smelled so nice and fresh and lemony. Like how delicious Play-Dough smells, but it too tastes awful.

My kid did that all the time! But with laundry detergent. Drove me crazy trying to do laundry, I was afraid she'd poison herself, of course, but she'd always be sneaking a handful of detergent while I was loading the washer.

So did I at age 4 because I swore like a sailor. My screaming could be heard for miles.

For years this has been one of the family's favourite anecdotes.
