Squid Soap for Germy Little Hands
 Every mom makes the little ones wash their dirty hands before eating, after going to the bathroom, after being around anyone who's sick etc. But as the CDC loves to remind us, it's not really the dirt that's the problem. It's the germs that cause all the problems. And E.coli. And bacteria. And virus. And...well, you get the picture. To adequately remove germs and other nasty things, one is supposed to spend a full 20 seconds washing one's hands, which apparently no one does.
Enter SquidSoap by Airborne, with its patented technology, which is designed to teach and train proper hand-washing technique to children. It's the only liquid-soap dispenser with a specially designed pump that stamps a child's hand with vegetable dye. It takes about 20 seconds of thorough hand washing to remove the ink mark, leaving the child with clean hands. We think they should put Squid Soap in public restrooms -- that should keep everyone washing for the full 20 seconds.
And speaking of that, we saw a show on Oprah about this very topic. A hidden camera watched womens' hands to see how long they washed -- the results were horrifying. Most of the women either a) didn't wash or b) ran water over their hands (no soap) for like two seconds. Can we say Hello E. coli (and heaven knows what else) contamination? Oprah's hand-washing expert said that you should wash for as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday". So, next time you're in the public restroom we expect to see you singing "Happy Birthday" to yourself as you merrily suds away at the sink. Or we'll set the hand-washing police on you.
