Years and years ago, I was visiting the Reuben Fleet Science Center in  
Balboa Park and they had a professional bubble blower demonstrating  
surface tension stuff.  I asked.  Professional bubble blowers use Dawn  
at 40:1.  No other dishwashing liquid comes close.  I've been using it  
since that encounter.  The pros know.
