    But automatic doors have already been invented, so they had to think of something else

    This advert made me angry as well if their initial soap product worked as well as they say it does there is no fear of touching a soap dispenser as all the germs are washed away anyway. I can see how it would benefit a disabled person but it wasnt aimed at people with dissabilities it was aimed at the general public for the sole purpose of conning us out of even more of our hard earned cash by putting the fear of god into everyone that we are killing our children with germs when the exact opposite is true we are slowly killing our children with the lack of germs they come into contact with now. Their immune systems are getting less and less and the germs are getting more and more resiliant to all of those wonderful antibiotics that keep getting shoved down their throats.

    I will stick to my poundland soap with its germ ridden dispenser thank you ;-)

    We've been given one from a friend who's got some from work and I have to say that although we're using it, it's the most pointless thing i've ever had in my house. Anyone who buys one of these and pays anything more that a quid at a carboot sale may as well just fluch a tenner down the toilet.

    I think this product must be marketed at people with OCD.

    It's all done with lasers. See? No touching involved! Minor skin loss may be involved, but that's a small price to pay for cleanliness.

    We've been using ours for less than 2 weeks now and the batteries have gone so if we didn't have the soap we were using before we were given this thing we would have had to use washing up liquid or shower gel to wash my hands after a wazz.

    Actually, if they put as much effort and resource as they do into these products into other medicine, we'd have the cures for Alzheimers, Parkinsons, AIDS and MS by now...

    A pro-allergen spray and pro-germ soap for when they realise just how much harm their anti-allergen and anti-germ products are doing now.
    I vaguely remember hearing about a probiotic handwash.

    No really, a handwash that encourages "friendly" bacteria.
    How on earth it tells the difference I don't know, it sounds like nonsense to me.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
