No one needs this many body care products. And no one needs THIS many products to keep themselves clean. Large corporations tell us (mostly women) that we need to spend money on these "self care" products. They profit off of women's insecurities by telling us that in order to be beautiful, clean, smell nice, etc., we need to buy their products. But people literally do not need all of this to stay clean. What the hell.

shrugs Maybe they are. Maybe the coupon so they can hoard. How should I know what their deal is? Or what ethics they have that would lead them to keep it over donate it. It's theirs, after all. And this all to say I am not interested in their motivations.
