That guy who swears by adding dish soap to the mix? I owe him an apology

I was pouring a small patio last month in Tucson and this old finisher told me to add a squirt of dish soap to my mix for better workability. Thought he was pulling my leg honestly. Gave it a try on a whim and the stuff floated out like butter, no joke. Has anyone else tried this or is it just a weird desert trick?

100 bucks says that old finisher got the secret passed down from his grandpa who used it on Hoover Dam or something. Tried it once on a hot day in Phoenix and my mix felt like I was buttering toast, no lie. Now I keep a Costco bottle of Dawn in my truckbed just for that reason.

Funny how the random tips from old-timers usually end up being the real deal, huh @the_holly.
