At H-E-B Wash, an early-morning announcement over the loudspeaker left customers scratching their heads. ‘Please drive through in reverse,’ it said, ‘to ensure optimal sudsing and rinsing.’ Soon enough, word spread that if you drove forward, the soap would miss your windshield entirely.

He grinned, ‘That’s not humming—it’s the resonance of water hitting those rubber brushes!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another H-E-B Wash Wednesday mystery solved.}
