Normally, I don't spend more than a few minutes in the laundry detergent section of a grocery store. Luckily, I live right above a grocery store and so I thought I could make a quick purchase before running over to the laundrymat (Wascherei -- pronounced "Vasher-eye"). I locate the aisle with cleaning supplies and find the detergent section. There are white bottles, blue bottles, pink bottles, black bottles and a variety of other color bottles. The black bottles i decided were for dark/black clothes and the white bottles said Weiss on them, which is White. Now I had a load of new colored sheets and a bunch of jeans to do, so I knew I needed detergent for 'multicolor' clothes.
There were so many options. I finally chose a bottle with some smiley bubble faces on the design, with a word that looked similar to "Oxidizing" on the front. I thought, oxidizing bubbles will definitely help my clothes become clean! I grabbed the bottle and looked at the back, just to make sure there were images of clothes on the back, instead of dishes, and I took it to the register and bought it. I was so excited to have successfully selected some detergent that I didn't even realize that I left the detergent in the store. As I was about to cross the street, a man came running after me, shouting in German and pointing back to the store. Haha. woopsies.
So I grabbed my laundry detergent and ran across the street, only then realizing that the wascherei I was hoping to go to had gone out of business. =(
