> DEHP is a compound added to plastics (like vinyl tape) to make them more flexible. It’s used in hundreds of household products, which means lots of people who bathe in Dr. Bronner’s Useless Fluid think it will kill them.
I get the joke (that people who use Dr. Bronner's soap are probably uninformed hippies) but am confused by the "Useless" part. I've used that soap and thought it seemed fine. Is it a known fact, or factoid, or meme, among smart people that Dr. Bronner's is ineffective?
It's normal soap, the writer is just taking a jab at Dr. Bronner's marketing.
