“Ajax” was also a fictional name made up in 1937 by Disney as a joke on the Warner Bros fictional company “Acme”(Mostly known from Roadrunner), which was used in movies since the 1920s.
When watching either with subtitles in other countries they are sometimes translated from one to the other.
Acme is also of Greek god origin, and it was already being used before movies as a generic name to put companies on the first page of the alphabetically sorted telephone books or similar lists.
The soap brand owned by Colgate-Palmolive was named in 1947, so they were totally late for the Greek-god-generic-product-party.

AJAX is also stronger than the chemical bonds that are supposed to keep the skin on your hands intact while you do dishes
Can’t have dirty skin if you don’t have skin 🤷
It’s perfect for cleaning human skin off of my cookware

Just use dish gloves.
I never found Ajax to be a particularly good manual dish soap. Dawn Platinum or even the Kirkland brand do a better job imo.
I wash my dishes immediately and use hot water with a plastic wand. No soaking, no wasting water on filling up an entire sink just to let other dishes get gross ass films on them…
Getting people to rinse off their dishes immediately was a bit of a chore but they’re trained now lol.
Holy shit
