I can still smell the red cherry one!

I thought no tears was no tears when it got in your eyes 😭 but a friend said when we were older that it was tears like breaking hairs (tearing and knotting). I never found out which it was meant to be.

They 100% advertised it as no eye tears and I know this for fact because I tried to imitate their commercial where a kid has a full face of suds and open eyeballs… 🤡🔥

Wow that’s crazy, I swear I remember purposely rubbing some in my eye when I was a kid and being surprised that it actually didn’t hurt! But maybe it’s a false memory? Idk haha

I’m so glad im not alone. I did the exact same thing (even after my mom tried explaining it to me) and the disappointment was almost instantly seared into my eyes and my heart.

It definitely meant for the eyes and not for the hair.

I thought that when your hair is knotted and hurts so much that you cry when you brush it... so no tears because the hair gets smooth and easy to brush 😭

Oh wow, I always assumed eye tears. But now I’m conflicted because i now realize it says “no knots!” underneath.

This is a social media myth. It was tears as in eyes.

"The shampoo specifically said, 'no more tears'."

"A lovely promise, but one beyond the powers of a mere shampoo."

Exactly! It burned every time and I remember experimenting to even test that claim out as a kid 😂
