Colgate Octagon Soap - the magical mystery soap

With the recent announcement from Colgate that Octagon Soap will no longer be manufactured, the frenzy has been on for those loyal consumers to find the last bars. Like Charlie searching for the golden ticket, calls, Internet searches, and referrals are all up! Thanks to My Brands' unique relationship with Colgate we have been able to allocate a significant portion of the remainder of inventory that came off the line before production was halted.

So if you're looking, now is the time to grab some before it is gone! And who wouldn't want some?! eHow.com suggests possible uses for the all-purpose soap including cleaning laundry, dishes, the stove, and wood working. But that's not all, while I'm sure these are not all confirmed by Colgate, consumers have raved about it's ability to tackle a whole host of other ailments. It has been rumored to handle poison ivy rashes, clear acne, and act as an insect repellent. One caller even suggested it removed growths on her neck and prevented her husband's toes from having to be amputated!

(Inserted disclaimer: My Brands, Colgate, and everyone in between, do not in any way suggest you rely on Octagon Soap as a solution for medical, or heaven forbid, surgical needs. While we appreciate the consumer's enthusiasm and love for the product, we have the sneaking suspicion that these statements are a bit of an exaggeration and not viable when tested against actual medical standards.)

UPDATE: My Brands has sold out of its inventory for Colgate Octagon Soap. This product is no longer being manufactured by Colgate, but should they ever decide to start up production again, we will be ready to bring it back to you. In the meantime consider of of the other options we have an a replacement for Octagon Soap at mybrands.com.

We Love Train and our Two-Ply Hefty Bags!

So I'm sure you must have heard Train's latest hit, Drive By, by now. If it weren't for Carly Rae Jepsen, it would probably be the song of the summer. So take a listen! Enjoy your summer, and don't forget to get your two-ply Hefty Bag here! Especially if you are heading to a Train concert this summer.




"Drive By"

On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause you moved to west LA
Or New York or Santa Fe
Or wherever to get away from me


Oh but that one night

Was more than just right
I didn't leave you 'cause I was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you



Oh I swear to you

I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by



On the upside of a downward spiral

My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again
So let's skip the "how you been"
And get down to the "more than friends" at last



Oh but that one night

Is still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
And I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you



Oh I swear to you

I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by



Please believe that when I leave

There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too



On the other side of a street I knew

Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause



Oh I swear to you

I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by

While staying at the Hilton Chicago, I was pleasantly surprised to find Bonne Maman Preserves served with their breakfast buffet. It is a wonderful spread with bright natural flavors. Bring home the delicious cherry preserves or any of their other fine Bonne Maman varieties!
