The Ivory Dishwashing Liquid ca. 1989 was tested as dandruff shampoo on pigs. See, if you keep a pig's skin dry it develops a heck of a candruff.
  6:38am
Listener Robert:

Dandruff, I meant dandruff. So there's a good reason pigs wallow in mud or whatever. They'll do it in clean water if that's what you provide.
