Do you think I want the IRA after me?!
Mate, I think the IRA will be after you for USING the soap... especially with how bloody awful those accents in the commercial are... its like you're spitting in their face and saying "God save the Queen!".

Nice try irish soap marketing department
Damn it, caught!
Not until you pry the Yardley oatmeal soap out of my cold, dead hands.
I buy Irish Spring in the big mega packs. It’s basically a never ending supply of soap.
These are the most offensive Irish accents I've ever heard. It's like what an American thinks an Irish person sounds like.
They sound more like hobbits, who usually have British accents!
You think they could afford real Irish people? Is Irish Spring made of money?
I’m Irish and I’ve literally never heard of this stuff
You're not missing much. It's like if Axe made soap.
How dare you!
Funnily enough, we don't have axe in Ireland
I believe it's marketed as Lynx in some parts of the world if you have that. And yes, it's awful. It's "body spray." It's not for cleaning, it's just for spraying stink on yourself.
The carving commercial is the one that did it for me: https://youtu.be/U_NrfJNNGi4
I think about the soap carving more than I reasonably should, even to this day. This smooth cut too https://youtu.be/9pMHW-KbnsI
This breakthrough soap contains soap as well as soap.
I've been using Head'n'Shoulders ever since I saw the movie Evolution as a kid, in which they kill a giant alien by pumping HnS into it. It's some Wayne's World level of product placement
Is it a good shampoo? I don't know, I don't have any comparison
I use it, but I have dandruff. I still have dandruff, but I have more dandruff if I use a different shampoo, so I guess it helps?
I've used Irish spring for ~15 years. Mainly because it's green lol
Can someone confirm if they fixed the scent?
Back early 2022 they had changed the formula or whatever chemicals they use to scent the soap bars. The few times I've bought it since then the smell irritates my wife too much (since she's quite sensitive to certain ones), so I stopped buying it entirely.
Oh great. I just bought a new pack and I'm guessing I haven't had to buy a new one in a couple of years because I get the super pack with a bunch of bars. Now I'm worried I'm going to have to change soaps.
Catch is: Stuff smells like you’ve over bathed in a vat of deodorant.
Which is why most people use it. I'm not letting big deodorant charge me for a useless add-on product. (Strokes neck beard).
After 25 years do you still feel the urge to cut up your soap?
I'm not Irish enough to cut soap or whistle about it.
How do you use the soap bar? Do you lather directly on your body or use a loofa?
I need that greenness directly on my skin.
Most bathroom accidents happen outside of a bathroom.
