1998: Purell Introduces Instant Hand Santizer



Before 1998, germaphobes had a problem. They wanted to interact with others in society, but were sick and tired of washing their hands all of the time in order to prevent skin contact with germs and other diseases. Luckily, their problem was solved in 1998 when Purell introduced Instant Hand Sanitizer onto the market. Now germaphobes (and others) were able to kill 99.99% of germs, while also leaving their hands soft and refreshed with the addition of aloe and vitamin E.
