In an animation, Andy, a garbologist with brown hair and beard, drives a small truck through a garbage dump. The truck's roof has a propeller and a solar panel. A wide broom is on the truck's underside. On the side are a tool panel, a vacuum hose, a garbage bin, recycling bins for food and electronic waste, and a blue bin for paper, cans, and bottles.

[Upbeat music plays, tires screeching]

Andy says, YOU WANNA KNOW A SECRET? SOME OF THE BEST STORIES CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR STINKY, SLIMY, ROTTEN TRASH. DON'T BELIEVE ME? CHECK THIS OUT!

The truck takes off. Smiling garbage gathers.

Title: Garbology.

[Whirring, upbeat music continues]

In a bathroom, Andy pushes a shower curtain to the side, revealing a purple bar of soap on the side of the bathtub.

[Rattling]

Andy says, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO SOMETHING THAT KEEPS US ALL CLEAN AND OUR CLOTHES FRESH.

The soap says, HOW'S IT GOING? NAME'S SOAP.

A box of detergent jumps up on the side of the bathtub.

[Popping]

The detergent says, YEAH, UH, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

The soap says, DETERGENT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

Detergent says, I COULD SAY THE SAME TO YOU. I THOUGHT THE MAN WANTED A REAL CLEANER.

Soap says, YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A CHEAP IMITATION OF ME!

Detergent says, WHY I OUGHTA...

Detergent chases Soap.

[Boinging, both grunting]

Andy says, GUYS! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS, BUT LET'S KEEP IT CLEAN HERE. AGREED?

Detergent and Soap say, HMPH.

Andy asks, FIRST OF ALL, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU?

Melting butter, a bottle of oil, and a pile of salt appear.

[Whooshing, popping, clicking]

Soap says, THERE IS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. I'M MADE OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS LIKE FAT, OIL, AND SALT. SHE'S COMPLETELY ARTIFICIAL!

Detergent says, WHO YOU CALLING ARTIFICIAL? I'M MOSTLY SYNTHETIC.

Soap says, SAME DIFFERENCE!

Detergent says, WELL, I CAN GET CLOTHES AND HAIR CLEANER AND BRIGHTER.

Soap says, BECAUSE YOU'RE FULL OF CHEMICALS WHICH CAN POISON OUR WATER!

Detergent wears sunglasses.

[Boinging, rock music plays]

Detergent says, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE BAD TO LOOK GOOD.

[Music stops]

Soap says, I'M ECO-FRIENDLY, BIODEGRADABLE, AND HYPOALLERGENIC, AS OPPOSED TO YOU, MS. TOXIC!

Detergent says, SAYS WHO?

[Boinging]

Soap says, SAYS ME! I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I'VE BEEN AROUND FOR 4,000 YEARS. WHEN DID YOU SHOW UP?

Detergent says, ABOUT 100 YEARS AGO. THAT MAKES ME MODERN.

Soap says, IT MAKES YOU EXPERIMENTAL.

Detergent says, YOU'RE SUCH A SQUARE.

Soap says, RECTANGLE, YOU POWDER HEAD! EVEN MY PACKAGING IS BETTER THAN YOURS. YOU'RE SO ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY!

Detergent throws the sunglasses to the side.

[Whooshing]

Detergent says, I'LL SHOW YOU UNFRIENDLY.

Detergent leaps towards Soap, and Soap jumps into Andy’s hands.

Soap says, CAN'T TOUCH THIS!

[Soap giggling]

Detergent asks, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Andy says, WELL, I DON'T WANNA CAUSE ANYMORE BAD BLOOD, BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE WHICH IS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, I HAVE TO GO WITH SOAP.

Detergent says, YOU STINK!

Detergent bounces away.

[Boinging]

Andy says, CHOOSE A SOAP THAT HAS NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND MINIMAL PACKAGING. IF YOU'RE REALLY FEELING ADVENTUROUS, YOU CAN EVEN MAKE YOUR OWN. REMEMBER, KIDS: REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE. SMELL YOU LATER.
