I think I have watched the television advertisement three or four times now. And every time, the commercial leaves me unsettled. The ad shakes the long-standing foundation of my health principle. This is not something to sneeze at. This belief has been passed on from one generation to another. Subsequently, this tenet guided my mom and the string of yayas and helpers that doted on me and the siblings. And I have to thank them for their wise promptings. As they say - this can be a matter of life and death.
Yup, I have no intention of altering this idea. And I have no qualms of asserting this view on the kids and the youngish. Heck even the elders of today would still follow the counsel of the generations past. No self-respecting health practitioner would amend this practice.
No, not even the commercial’s posturing on how Downy New Antibac Formula deodorizes my sweaty shirt can make me kick the habit of not changing clothes after a high power physical activity. The fabric softener formula only destroys the bacteria brought about by sweating. But there are other consequences when one is drenched with sweat. Brand management seemed to have conveniently forgotten about them. (Oh your moms will kill you.) It is not the amoy-pawis which could put you in dire medical situation. It is the unwiped bucket of sweat that is dangerous.
Well, this is quite easy. No sweat to even articulate it. Down with Downy this time.
