Two crackerjack science journalists from NPR look at why some things (and some people ) drive us crazy

It happens everywhere?offices, schools, even your own backyard. Plus, seemingly anything can trigger it?cell phones, sirens, bad music, constant distractions, your boss, or even your spouse. We all know certain things get under our skin. Can science explain why? Palca and Lichtman take you on a scientific quest through psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and other disciplines to uncover the truth about being annoyed. What is the recipe for annoyance? For starters, it should be temporary, unpleasant, and unpredictable, like a boring meeting or mosquito bites

  • Gives fascinating, surprising explanations for why people react the way they do to everything from chili peppers to fingernails on a blackboard
  • Explains why irrational behavior (like tearing your hair out in traffic) is connected to worthwhile behavior (like staying on task)
  • Includes tips for identifying your own irritating habits

How often can you say you're happily reading a really Annoying book? The insights are fascinating, the exploration is fun, and the knowledge you gain, if you act like you know everything, can be really annoying.

Best vanilla body wash I've seen
Proper vanilla scent with a kick, without the vomit inducing synthetic aftertaste

Body wash
Scent: Aquatic
high-quality body wash with a rich, creamy lather that cleans without drying your skin. The Coastal Breeze scent gives a fresh, slightly tropical ocean vibe with layered notes that feel more premium than typical drugstore washes. It rinses clean and leaves skin feeling smooth, not sticky. ✔ Rich lather + moisturizing feel ✔ Fresh, clean coastal scent (not overpowering) ✔ Feels more “luxury” than basic body washes ❗ Scent may be light for those who like strong fragrance ❗ Slightly pricier than basic brands 👉 Bottom line: A solid upgrade body wash—great if you want a clean, fresh scent and a more premium shower experience without going high-end.

Enjoy a beachin' experience in the shower.
Scent: Aquatic
I enjoy Cremo's body wash products. They work well with my skin and body chemistry. Not overly drying or overly moisturizing. Foams nicely with a silicone body scrubber, rinses cleanly. Scent during the shower is very nice. Smells like sun screen and salt water with some coconut undertones, you feel like you just got back on a boat in the Caribbean after swimming in the ocean. It is not super sweet smelling coconut. After drying, some scent remains on skin, lingers maybe an hour or two, not overpowering, doesn't smell like a teenager. Product performs nicely, good value for the scent, quality of body wash, and size. Keep these coming Cremo, don't mess up this product line.

Great smell for the summer
Scent: Aquatic
Smells like a variety of citrus and a bit of the classic shower gel, really great scent for the summer and pairs well with colognes of citrus or fresh notes. Doesn't dry out skin and you'll still smell it for a good while on you after a couple of hours for me the scent last maybe 5-6 hours.
