The hair care products were right there in the basket, hanging from the shower head, and the green Prell gave a nice backdrop to their claims, which among others, said "No Unwanted Residue". I shower automatically, so my brain got stuck on what kind of wanted residue might be left in my hair after I used the stuff. Over coffee, I read the ingredients and wonder what part of it would be left behind after I rinsed the unwanted parts away. It nagged me until I called their help line. The people at the call center were very nice, just like their products, but they were as stymied over the claim as I was. I like Prell and a lot of the other products put out by Prestige Brands. They make Comet, Murine, Clear Eyes (Hey, Ben Stein does that stuff), Compound W and a host of other everyday products Americans take for granted. You could buy generic green shampoo, but it probably won't make you curious about the marketing
