If you haven’t seen “Deadpool,” there are mild spoilers.

“Deadpool” has been out in theaters for less than a week, and not only has it set box-office records, but it has also forever changed the way fans are looking at their dish detergent these days.

I’ll explain.

In "Deadpool," Ryan Reynold's merc with a mouth goes after a man by the name of Ajax, who’s responsible for his disfigurement. Deadpool isn’t convinced Ajax is the man’s actual name. Unsatisfied, he later reveals the man’s name is Francis and quips that he got Ajax from a bottle of dish soap. 

It’s such a simple throw-away gag in the film, but it has quickly become a favorite from the film as fans are taking to Twitter and Tumblr to show that they’re renaming — or fixing — their bottles of Ajax to reflect their true title.

This sums up our reaction.

The only one who hasn’t gotten in on the joke yet appears to be Ajax itself who doesn’t appear to have a social media presence.

They’re missing out.
