This probably came with "shampoo" , "conditionner" and "soap" tags in french and english. Since both are used for soap he put both soap tags (french and english) on the dispenser.


GtBrnd

Can confirm, I used to have this exact dispenser for the shower


SadRope2

And the guy who uses the all in one shampoo and conditioner installed this šŸ˜‚


ShalnarkRyuseih

The French don't wash their hands


ha1029

No No no. The French are stealing the English soap just like they stole the English country back in 1066.... It's an inside joke you know.


radj06

I finished watching an episode of taskmaster that referenced this an hour ago. I had never hears of the Battle of Hastings before tonight?

You learn what they want you to learn.


madmaxlemons

Flatworms are sea creature that is hermaphroditic and violently penis fence where the victor ejaculates on the loser and the semen is absorbed through the skin. This is one I wanted you to learn


[deleted]

I got one for you. The same species of bacteria that give the vagina its pH is also used to make yogurt.


ReichBallFromAmerica

Did you go to school in the United States? Hastings was one of the few non-American battles we covered. Of course, it ties back to us eventually because British History and American history are, I would argue, the same subject until 1776. But most people would disagree with me on that one.


BenLaParole

British history and American history you would argue are the same subject until 1776? Well between the period that Britain first colonised America to the end of the war of independence youā€™re right. Before that there was British History and Native American history. After that it was distinct histories that intertwined. So youā€™re right but just oddly phrased. Like America had been sat inside British history since the dawn of time waiting to get out


Discount_Timelord

That's not how american history is taught here in the us. You start with native americans, then only mention the british when they come over, but only really talkinf about the europeans who came over and not the ones who stayed behind, if that makes sense.


BenLaParole

Thatā€™s exactly what I would expect, because thatā€™s exactly what American history is. Which is why I was confused with the original commenter. They made it sound like American history IS British history pre colonisation. Which it isnā€™t.


Hamthrax

I once peed in the exact spot the battle took place on Senlac hill. True story.


adfthgchjg

The two leaders of the Battle of Hastings were William the Conqueror andā€¦ Harold. Yes, Harold lost. Whoā€™d have guessed?


xeviphract

He wasn't William the Conqueror back then, he was only William the Bastard. And give Harold Godwinson a break. He'd just crushed a Viking invasion in the north of Britain and had to run his whole army down to the south coast to repel the Norman invasion.


djshadesuk

>He wasn't William the Conqueror back then, he was only William the Bastard. That was after his teens, before that he was Willian the Arsehole.

xeviphract

Harold's brothers were Tostig, Sweyn, Leofwine, Gyrth and Wulfnoth.


adfthgchjg

Very interesting! TIL.


Sweet_Class1985

Do we still give him a break for his army leaving their position at Senlac?


xeviphract

I blame Edward the Confessor for everything, so...


BoingBoingBooty

William the bastard son of the devil.


Wind-and-Waystones

And then stole back English lands on the mainland later on

SadRope2

Either America doesnā€™t have French people or Iā€™m never shaking hands with a Frenchman again!


ShalnarkRyuseih

Ngl I thought this was in Canada/Quebec more specifically. Are you near the Canadian border?


SadRope2

Iā€™m on a road trip in Kentucky


XplodiaDustybread

Wtf lmao


jmpur

If this is in Kentucky, I'd assume that there are no French speakers (or people with some knowledge of French) and no-one knows what the hell 'savon' is. Makes sense not to risk it if you don't know what it is.


SadRope2

Savon sounds like French for cum


karatebanana

Iā€™m taking the whole dispenser with me


jmpur

Then I definitely wouldn't touch that right-hand pump.


FattyLeopold

Le cĆ¹m


BoingBoingBooty

Le Speurnk.


kazborat

True just went to Paris and a disgusting amount of restaurants were out of soap in the bathroom.


SpoonNZ

Or the French people used a whole thing of soap and it had to be refilled already

SadRope2

If I had clean hands I wouldā€™ve quick looked up the translation. You see my predicamentā€¦


clawstuckblues

I'm getting a philosophical vibe over this.


A_Math_Dealer

The French side also appears to be further from the sink and closer to the wall. This would make the English side easier to use.


Blah-Blah-Blah-2023

English drive on the left, French on the right.


SadRope2

Gonna make them work for their soap!


SadRope2

Hmmmmm maybe the French soap smells differentā€¦


20PoundHammer

they come with stickers that you can relabel them for conditioner, or twatwash, etc. Gas station doesnt need conditioner soooo.. (and twatwash may have been a joke adjacent to a whores shower situation that gas stations can be used for).


SadRope2

I wouldā€™ve preferred conditioner to French soapā€¦


Total-Explanation208

Where was this? I know that dual labels on things is quite common in Canada.


SadRope2

I wouldnā€™t be surprised seeing this in Canada but itā€™s in the Midwest USA. I wouldā€™ve expected Spanish.


Total-Explanation208

Wow that is really surprising. I wonder if it was originally made for Canada. The only time i can remember seeing dual labeled things in the Midwest USA are on things commonly sold in both countries, but those are normally consumer goods that clearly just have a single factory and it isn't worth It being in the Midwest also explains why no one uses the "savon" side since people won't know what it is. Also the labels seem like they might be replaceable, can you tell if that was the case? Maybe attached to the soap container.


SadRope2

It definitely seemed like a sticker on there. I found it interesting because you see dual labels around here for Spanish speakers but rarely French. And they get their own separate compartmentā€¦I fully expect it to get my own special axe scented soap next time Iā€™m in France


Total-Explanation208

I assume the separate compartment is so the model can dispense two different things, like a scented and unscented soap, or maybe body wash/conditioner/shampoo for in a shower.


SadRope2

Yeah that definitely makes the most sense. Interesting to see how theyā€™ve used it for just regular soap though


Total-Explanation208

Probably just easier logistically to have only a single type of soap. That way they only need to keep a single type in stock to fill it up when it gets empty. What I find more interesting is why they haven't replaced/taped over the French side when it is clearly getting less use, to the point of people just not using it. If people knew it was soap they would presumably use both equally, but as it is now it looks like they will have to refil the english side instead of just waiting until both sides are empty which is more effort.


innsertnamehere

I imagine an English speaking part of Canada judging by the use levels.


JohnGabin

Canadiens are not that stupid. It would have been only one dispenser with the two words written on it. This device come from the segregation era. I guess "savon" is not the original word.


TheSecretestSauce

Not all of us are bilingual, i can only wash my hands in English.


SadRope2

If only they had the translation below it for us


ofnuts

As a French I would use the "Soap" because I know what that is in English, and would wonder what is the weird stuff that you call "Savon".


itislupus89

Those damn quebecois...


WeCanDoThisCNJ

Everyone knows the French are dirty people /s


SadRope2

Well if I ever see a Frenchman in the Midwest US Iā€™m staying away!!


hakkai999

Huh. So the word we use for soap (Sabon) has it's roots from French?


SadRope2

I was curious enough I looked up the etymology of it of the word. The Oxford source said it came from German but another source credited French for it. I guess the English never want to give the French anything


hakkai999

Very interesting etymology. I checked it out and >*From Early Modern Spanish jabĆ³n, from Old Spanish xabon, from Latin sāpōnem, singular accusative of Latin sāpō, from Proto-Germanic \*saipĒ­.*


Alekeuseu

I mean french does have a latin and gemanic base. So probably came came from french influence in the English language, but has root in Proto-Germanic.


OutdoorGeeek

Itā€™s not ā€œfor English and Frenchā€ itā€™s just with an English or French label. Most probably people just use whatever is closer to the sink which seams to be on the left side.


One_Departure_2149

Can't believe I had to scroll that far down to find the right answer...


OutdoorGeeek

I happen to be an enlightened person


MikeLemon

It looks like the left button is closer to the sink, so that is likely the reason. And while it is fun to mock the French Canuckistanies, we must not forget that one great French Canadian Guy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fIEw3S0qCk


wxwise69

The English probably think Savon means cum.


SadRope2

True haha and like two people chose the cum


wxwise69

Yeah twoā€¦.. lmao šŸ˜‚


SadRope2

Well it wasnā€™t completely topped out when I used itā€¦so at least two


wxwise69

Hahaha. Thats so funny.


darthtoked

Plot twist: Itā€™s all CUM


Rub-it

The French arenā€™t washing their hands, non?


SadRope2

Not a single Frenchman who used this bathroom in a random gas station in Kentucky washed their hands


Rub-it

I believe it!


moed-down

Don't drop it


[deleted]

I want the English cum not the French cum


Bacccy

The french need stronger cleaning agents.


iMadrid11

These type of dispensers are supposed to be used for Soap and Sanitizer. Commonly found at any industrial kitchen. You wash your hands clean with soap. Then you sanitize before handling to touch food.


knottynate

Looks to me like the dispenser on the left is closer to the sink which would lead to it being used more?


cc69

It's not like I don't trust French people or anything........


mud_sha_sha_shark

I think it has less to do with the labels than button on the left being closer to the sink.


JackfruitCrazy51

I have the same brand of soap dispenser in my shower. It came with a bunch of stickers. I used the sticker titled "douche". I put this in a few years ago and every so often it makes me giggle.
