Board 8 > This guy in my dorm has 12 bottles of detergent

(+) Yeah! (+)

He says he uses a bottle a load and a load a week, so he should run out by the end of the first trimester

each bottle contains 116 loads worth, and 12 * 116 = 1392 = 238.3 YEARS worth of laundry @ a load a week

wasteful ****

Velcro - what a rip off.

He's gonna wind up with soap in his clothes. Tell him to not do that because his clothes are gonna be more soap than fabric before too long.

...He uses an entire bottle of detergent for a load of laundry? Isn't that the kind of thing that causes suds to overflow out of the whole machine?

Your math is off.

In conclusion you really should deter this gent from doing this.

I like how each new topic you make reveals such varied facets of your idiocy. - foolmo
Now this is entertainment!

by your math, the average person will only need about 3.5 bottles of detergent for their whole life

yeah that's more like 26 years worth, and I somehow doubt the "116 loads per bottle" figure

while I think you are overestimating the length a bottle should last, he has to be exaggerating about using a bottle per load. that would likely result in a huge mess.

My bottle will say something like "40 Loads!"

But it tends to mean the smallest line you can fill to on the cap. And that small amount of detergent does not normally get the job done. I will often fill up to the larger line or a little above which is probably 2-3 times the "smallest line figure" they use to get to 40 loads. And so a bottle of 40 loads will maybe provide me a realistic 15.

So yeah, overreaction ITT.



But on the math side of things I dare you to take one of those bottles and make it last you 116 weeks. So yeah, there's that.
