shampoo conspiracy

I have a theory about shampoo and conditioner.

Have you ever noticed that when you use separate shampoo and conditioner, one always tends to run out before the other no matter how hard you try to use the same quantities of each. So you run out of conditioner but you still have shampoo left, so you buy a new bottle of conditioner. A few weeks later, your shampoo runs out, but you still have conditioner. So then you buy a new bottle of shampoo and the whole process repeats itself in perpetuity.

As I was perusing the aisles of the Rexall Drugstore on Telegraph for another bottle of Aussie Conditioner, I began to wonder....is it possible that the manufactors might put less conditioner or shampoo into the bottles so that you'll be forced into the aforementioned cycle? Once you have to buy a new bottle of conditioner with half of bottle of shampoo left, you're pretty much locked into the brand. You don't really want to mix shampoos and conditioners because I think that's bad, or maybe that's just what they want you to think so that you don't go around buying a bottle of Herbal Esssences conditioner to go with your Aussie Shampoo.

I vowed I would do an experiment and see if the quantities of shampoo and conditioner were the same, but I don't really have too many qualms with being locked into the Aussie hair product cycle. It smells pretty good and my hair looks about the same as it does with other shampoos. So I guess that means all this theorizing has been for naught.

Just know that I'm on to you Aussie. Your devious, underhanded, upside-down ways are no secret to me. I know what's up.
