Jason Kelce Takes On Big Soap, Makes Polarizing Feet Washing Comments

Former Eagles center Jason Kelce had people buzzing on social media, and it all had to do with some swings he was taking at Big Soap.

Y'know… like Big Pharma or Big Oil? Yeah, Big Soap.

Kelce quote tweeted someone who said that he looked like someone who didn't wash their feet, which turned out to be right on the money.

I've got to be honest with you: he's got a point here. I'm usually a two-shower-a-day kind of guy — morning and night; I'm clean enough to work in a microchip plant or on one of those big space telescope mirrors — but I don't even dig in on the feet washing. 

They catch enough residual soap splashes and water that you don't need to get in there for some detailing.

Kelce followed that up with a comment from a follower who cited a study that found that people who actively scrub their feet have more bacteria on their feet than those who don't.

Now, if there's a better place for this kind of info than an anonymous person on X recalling a study that they read about one time, I'd like to hear it.

But Kelce wasn't done. He took a swing at one of the most powerful industries the world has ever seen: Big Soap.

Gotta hit the hot spots, I agree.

I think there's a middle ground in this war on Big Soap. I agree that it's probably healthier to not wash certain things all the time. Of course, soap companies will tell you to use more soap than you need so that you buy more.

Lather, rinse, repeat? Yeah, that's so you go through a bottle of shampoo in half the time. I'm hip to that.

But having said that, I prefer to live in a society with minimal funk. I'm reasonable; some funk is to be expected, but let's keep it at a manageable level.

Let's just all agree to freshen up now and then, but there's no need to scrub the bejeezus out of your feet with a scouring pad.
