I LOVE this soap


Wow! I am very excited that someone actually made the documentary about my favorite soap. While soaking in the tub, I read Dr. Bronner's mysterious rambling about the Moral Book of A-B-C. I would love to learn more about the people behind this wonderful bottle of soap.

They were discussing it on NPR's Movie Podcast this past week.

I can't believe they made this into a movie! I met the guy in the late 1980s when I was a teen -- and he spoke just as he did on his labels. I had a hard time catching everything he was saying. I do remember him telling me "fluoride is like so much poison in your mouth!"

I heard he had died. :(

I would love to see this documentary. I hardly know anything about him, but he was a nice person.

The documentary has either been on IFC or the Sundance Channel. Just DVRd it recently. I wrote this parody of The Beatles "Dr. Robert" a while back...
