Theme Day- Zest

I took the coward's way out... sort of. Today, June 1, 2014 is Theme Day across the CDP (citydailyphoto) community. Zest is this month's challenge. I didn't think long about this one. I checked out my backlog of photos, and I'm not kidding in my crazy, demented way I could have made everyone of them fit the theme's parameters. Too many choices. I wasn't going there. The Carling Black Label brewing company has a beer called  Carling Zest, one of those fruit-flavored beers that I usually steer clear of, but it was nowhere to be found on local shelves. 
So I settled.
I'm coming clean.
Believe it or not, Mom actually bought this stuff.
It was one way her dirty, little urchins would 'come clean'.
Zestfully!

    Yeah, I had to buy 8 bars of the stuff so Birdman could take this photo. We're going to be zestfully clean around here for a long time, whatever that means.

    Oh right! Now I remember Zest soap, from the America of my youth.
    Did they really promise we'd be "zestfully clean"? haha

    Ah, Birdman, I have more faith in you now that you have come clean.

      Oh no....Birdman has made it clear...HE has to be the photographer. That day, I was doing the errands, he was mowing grass......
      What he really wanted was the Carling Zest beer, but after going around to 3 stores and not finding it, I made an executive decision and got the soap.
      Not the suds he hoped for...

    I use cocoa-butter and shea. The label is not Zest, though. Good post, and not the lazy way out at all!

    May the zest be with you, with or without fruit flavour!

    We still use Zest soap. Not this type, but the green or white bars. Now you know why I'm so full of zest. And yes, I know what some folks have said I'm full of and it wasn't zest so you need not comment about that. OK? :)

    I thought about this myself!

    I can only use Ivory. My skin tends to get irritable with other soaps.

    You're not fully clean, unless you're zestfully clean!

    I've never seen the shea butter variety. But my gran still uses the traditional green bar that smells really zesty!

    I didn't think they made this anymore. Nice one.

    Sending Elenka off to get it? Birdman! Have you no shame. Hmm, I think I already know the answer.

    I used Zest soap faithfully for years, not because it was any better than any other, but because it was made by Procter & Gamble. I got a full tuition, four year P&G scholarship to college, so I only use P&G products. Fortunately, they now make a far better soap for an old faht like me.

    Damn. That's what I would have posted if I'd gotten around to it. Maybe with some lemon peel shavings.

    How neat to actually find something with the word 'zest'. Perfect!
