Alberto Balsam: Just me or does not everyone know it's a line of hair care products

[eh Speedy]

In the US, I guess unless you grew up in the 80's or something, I'm not sure you'd know that Alberto Balsam (not "Alberto Balsalm") was a line of hair care products including the famous Alberto VO5 shampoo.

 

Is this stuff still around in the UK. I don't hardly see or hear about it here in the US anymore.

I thought about this a few times but never posted about it because of the response you're getting

[eh Speedy]

lol, yeah but it doesn't bother me. If just one person learns something, my job is done.

Clearly that track was made using a synthesizer built entirely out of human hair & held together by dried shampoo

[chenGOD]

Why would anyone mention it? The track is "Alberto Balsalm", the hair care product is Alberto Balsam. Clearly different ;)

VO5 sucks man, that's like the government cheese of shampoos

[chassis]

Next you'll be telling us that Donkey Rhubarb is another name for Polygonum cuspidatum or Japanese Knotweed.

Just out of curiosity though: now that your job is done, what will you be doing next?

i'm all about dr. bronners. concentrated to fuck so you only need a few drops, which means it lasts for more than a year.

plus the packaging is alluring

i keep fucking telling people that the percussion in it reflects a barbershop/hair cuttery

 

the scooting of the heavy chair, the snips of the scissors, etc.

There are people on here that were born in the 90's, but i suppose this is akin to just telling the man on a spiritual quest what's at the top of the mountain. Resigning right away sir

Nice. I had not put that together. I never thought of it as scissors, but a typewriter....but it really doesn't sound like a typewriter either.

In case you missed the mention in a recent thread, that sound is a mic inside a metal ammunition box - explains those early images of James posing with shotguns and rifles...

I dunno if it's worth the trade-off of that crazy religious propaganda though!

Alberto Balsam is not obscure.

PS Dr. Bronners is great as a body soap and also seems to work better as shampoo than... shampoos.

[murve33]

For the record, I didn't know, I care, and I now feel educated.

 

AND I love Dr. Boner's soap. The lavender shit is nice. Had been using peppermint for a while which in my opinion is too strong. Burns my ass hole when the foam drips from my head to my ass.

Isn't Alberto Balsam a mexican drug lord?
