🙈 Thank you!!!!!!! I did the song and Daniel did everything else !

My thoughts exactly, Maribel! I thought it was so cute! Good job to you both, Aubrey! 👍 It is so fun and engaging!

@@SayyadinaHeresy Thank you, Thank you!!

Lol! Awww thanks! Yeaaaah, it's kind of odd. I guess the function for that specifically was a preservative but, aren't there other options?! haha. I think I have an idea of why they use them. I don't imagine it's to cause harm intentionally. I just think these chemicals make their product desirable by achieving certain attributes: like a good lather, keeps the product cohesive, smells nice, makes the product the best at getting out stains, the product has a longer shelf life, etc. Because all of the chemicals usually have some kind of function in the product. And, like you said, I think a huge part of it is that the price is right for the companies regarding these chemicals. As consumers, we generally like products that have those attributes, so it creates a demand, which creates a market for those types of products. Not that companies are deliberately trying to hurt people, but they are focused on reducing costs (cheap ingredients) and getting sales (beating competition via desirable product with desirable qualities). There's a chance companies know their products could be harmful, but I'm sure sales just simply come first. That's my theory haha that's the only way I've been able to rationalize it. I actually touched on this lightly in the next video I did. Maybe it should be a whole video of its own?! I dunnoo haha Unpopular opinion lol. OMG what a rant.

@@aubra_dash No, it's good! ^_^ Would be interesting to discuss if you did a whole video on it, but I think you've rationalized it pretty well. It is true about those certain attributes. That is what I have observed that drives the waste of our grocery stores too. Consumers expect an apple or an orange to look a certain way, and won't buy it if there are "flaws" - or more accurately what we are perceiving as flaws. So, companies have that incentive to use dangerous products and cause waste because of that demand. Yet who was originally at fault? The store for shaping our perceptions? Or have we shaped our own perceptions of how we want our products to be?? Hmm! 🤔 It is something to ponder, but I am very much in agreement with you. I don't think - ultimately - many companies seek out to harm either, it is just something that happens, falling through the cracks. 😕 I just know that if I were a company, I would only want the best quality of ingredients, with the most efficient and sustainable practices. To me that is smarter and thinking long term, rather than short term gain.

@@SayyadinaHeresy yess!!! I completely agree with all of that 🙌🙌🙌 couldn't agree more, my goodness. It's always a good, deep discussion with you! ❤️

Brazen Wayfinder Aww! Thanks! ☺️ I do love diving deep into things!
