The Mothership 
Great, just great; now all the memories of being an awkward adolescent in the late 80s are all coming back, the whisky is not doing its work.
Joke was on us, Zest left a healthy sheen of shame on anybody who used it.
5 stars for gullibility.

I used to do that with my towel as a kid because of this commercial. I was whipped with a belt for showing my shame.

dead_cat And yet I did the exact same thing and thought I was Batman. You know, if Batman was a naked preschooler with parents.

Not even soap can get you fully clean.
Not after what you did.

I was born in 85 and remember them showing these commercials all the time. I got in trouble for doing that with my towel after a bath.
Thanks a lot you soap peddling assholes.

That first woman's bathroom is so huge it's got a fireplace. No wonder she's so leg kicking happy.

The whole "soap residue" malarky Zest pushed reached almost Republican-level stupidity when they had a "test" that "showed" how clean Zest made your arm. A woman ran her fingers down her damp forearm washed with Zest, and it had little friction. Her "soap" arm wasn't so slick, and her fingers (we have to take her word for this) couldn't zip down her flesh because (according to her) there was soap residue there.
This is in spite of the fact that soap is a lubricant, and that if you do wash away most of what's on your arm, that includes oils.
Also, Zest smells like an industrial solvent.

It's amazing how many times this jingle pops into my head, even when there's nothing particularly zesty going on. God I hate it....

I'm allergic to Zest and I break out into a horrible rash if I use it.
I guess I'm just doomed to be forever unclean.
