Germany solves the problems of the first world

You know what's the worst? Like, actually, no exaggeration, the very worst thing that happens in the world? It's when you run out of shampoo before you run out of conditioner and then you either buy both and have an extra bottle of conditioner cluttering up the bathroom for weeks or you just buy shampoo and have to make an extra trip to the drugstore two days later when you run out of conditioner after all. That's the worst.

But you know who fixed that? The Germans. In Germany, they just make the shampoo bottles bigger than the conditioner bottles. Problem solved, world - you can go back to worrying about things like global poverty and child soldiers. See below and marvel. So simple, and yet...

Now you may say, "Calculating the perfect ratio of shampoo to conditioner is a fool's errand - there are too many factors to do it with any degree of accuracy for any significant proportion of the population." But I say, "Just because we may never achieve perfection, doesn't mean we shouldn't try. WHO'S WITH ME?"

Not content to blow my mind just once, the Germans also designed conditioner bottles that stand upside-down, so you don't have to try to figure out which identical bottle is shampoo and which is conditioner, squinting through the spray, ultimately shampooing your hair a third time, and living with the frizzy mess that ensues. And you know how conditioner tends to be thicker and sometimes you have trouble getting the last little bit out of the container? It solves that problem too! Seriously, people say "German engineering" so reverentially when they're talking about their BMWs and Mercedes, but check out these shampoo bottles and shut up about your Porsche!
