Some kinds of detergents, for example those for automatic dishwashers and
spray-and-suction type carpet cleaners, are specially designed to not
make bubbles; also many laundry detergents were made 'low-sudsing' after
people started complaining about soap-sudsy rivers.  The important part
is the chemical action, the bubbles just amuse the customer.
