Need to look at the picture on the can.

“They” also make toothpaste and muscle rub in the same tube colors.

At least it wasn’t Nair.

Still perfect.

I once mistook Mom’s tube of itch cream for a tube of Colgate(didn’t put it on my teeth.),

Norm uses silly string as shaving gel?

At least it wasn’t superglue like some woman used. Of course she sued because the instructions which she didn’t read anyway didn’t caution using it as hairspray.

Go with it. Since you have shaving cream on your head, shave it. Maybe gain some street cred.

RTFL.

I thought it was silly string.

Because the rest of us have working brain cells and can notice stuff. Oh, we can read, too. I’m sure if it was a can of wd40, he would still use it.

It doesn’t. See the big red dot?

They do that so we all learn to read.

It is less expensive to manufactory the sase container for different products. So back in the early 70’s military spec spray paint had a paper label. If you removed the paper label you with find some product label on the can. Generally, these cans were overruns and repurposed. So, someone in my dad’s air force unit stumbled upon the fact that the can had a hairspray label printed on it. He stuck it in the women restroom.

Proving those cans aren’t idiot proof.

What a silly string of events.

my dentist gave me a prescription toothpaste to use once a day that came in a squeeze bottle. One day, I pulled what I thought was the toothpast and put it on the brush. Man, one taste and I knew something was wrong. I looked at the bottle and saw it wasn’t toothpaste but Balneol. Panic time. Fortunately no damage.

It could have been deodorant.

Blue shaving cream?
