I finally figured out why Arko smells so familiar.

[JFielder23]

I already know what half of you are thinking, and no, it doesn't smell like hot trash, road kill, one of those cheap citronella bug candles, etc. Lol.

Arko has always had a familiar kind of smell to me... I could never pin point it, other than "that smells familiar".

So yesterday I was cleaning a pair of leather shoes, and I popped open my can of Kiwi Saddle Soap... that smell... that is exactly like Arko! I mean side by side, by scent alone, it's hard to discern which is which!

Thats a new one. Ive heard some say it has a lemon smell and others say it smells like Ivory soap.

Yes but do they taste the same?

I'll let you tell me, I'll send ya a sample to spread on some crackers or toast... Haha

 

[Mike H]

How does it lather?

 

[JFielder23]

How does it lather?

On leather it creates a thick, rich, cleansing lather... on your face... I'll leave that up to you to test out.

Good one. This sounds like a "swap toothpaste for Preparation-H" prank in the making. I wouldn't tell anyone in your household about this if you live with any pranksters...
