What the languages look like to me (top-bottom, left-right): Swedish, Norwegian, German, Finnish, English, French, Polish.
I know English and French, am learning German, and have seen a TON of Finnish and Polish stuff (mostly music lyrics). The other 2 are clearly northern Germanic languages, but it’s hard to tell which (the first one can’t be Danish because they usually use ø instead of ö, and I don’t think Danish usually uses å, but the second one also looks like Swedish to me… so it’s a shot in the dark).
You’re right about first two being Swedish and Norwegian and half right and half wrong about Danish letters: we use ø rather than ö, but we DO in fact use å.
The only difference between this particular phrase in Norwegian and Danish is that we’d use an æ (equivalent of Norwegian and Swedish ä), making it “tildækkes”. Danish and Norwegian are very much mutually intelligible, especially in writing 🙂
Dude wtf is that… I bought some spearmint toothpaste off Amazon didn’t pay attention to anything, just wanted spearmint. Package came in and it was Bronners. The box scared the shit out of me so much I immediately through it in a closet because I was too scared to open it.
Haha that’s fair. Honestly though they make legitimately good products and while some of the stuff they have written on there is a bit cuckoo, it seems well meaning and some of the ideas they present (e.g. taking care of the earth and each other) are actually good

If you used someone’s bathroom back then who had Bronner’s, you really hit the jackpot for reading

When as a kid you sit in the bathroom and start reading bottles of shampoo and then cutting off the first letter each time.
“Shampoo” “Hampoo” “Ampoo” “mpoo” “poo” “oo” “o” “”
And for reason poop was like “Get me the fuck out of this body right nooowww!!!” after you read something.

What I was more confused on was how there were radios before newspapers and books.

Lol it’s all good.

Good ol’ days
I was all about Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader, a collection of facts a lot of which probably aren’t true but it was entertaining.
But this was absolutely the backup option.
“Oh, sulfates huh? Tell me more. Rinse and REPEAT?? The fuck outta here.”
I’ll forever be grateful to those thronal thespians of the page, who told me exactly whence the phrase, “Close, but no cigar,” came from.
I miss magazines in the jon
What is even the point of bringing up mastodon in the title? This meme is old as dirt.
Life today, when I’ve mounted the throne and forgot my smart phone
That is disgusting. I still still read text on the toiletries or listen to podcasts on a bluetooth spraker.
I had a dedicated place for comics. I weekly rotated the content and always had entertainment. Maybe I should start doing this again.
I used to work at a book store and the smart phone killed sales of uncle John’s bathroom reader.
Gotta be careful reading those dr bronners, you might get sucked in to the cult

This honestly. Lots and lots of magazines in a basket on the wall.
'member Reader’s Digest?
My parents had that but for some reason I chose the shampoo over it
