Interesting they didn't discuss Tide With Bleach Powder. I haven't seen Tide Oxi Powder in any of our stores here. Supermarkets just don't carry more than one or two powder choices anymore and even WalMart and Target here don't have the Tide Oxi Powder. Interesting that the article was...

Family Dollar is similar to Dollar General - lots of junk, prices not great and stores are usually cramped and unkempt. Not worth the effort in my book.

Oddly enough, we still have one AM station that plays music and with live DJs yet. The one I can get here in southern Connecticut is WHLI out of Long Island. It is 1100 on the AM dial but has a sister station at 104.7 on FM. For whatever reason, I can't get the FM station but AM comes in loud...

Eugene, I should have mentioned that the All Oxi powder isn't in every store. For some reason, I have seen it only in ShopRite - but not in Stop & Shop, Big Y or Price Chopper, our other local chains. Unfortunately that doesn't help you in Minnesota. Do you have a Big Lots somewhere near you...

Eugene, glad you are having success with both versions of UK Persil. I might have to try some myself. To your point on using the stain boost cycle on things like marinara or barbecue sauce, one of the issues I have encountered is that anything tomato based is very difficult to remove in cooler...

Am I missing something? The second ad does mention a GE washer (like we couldn't tell from the actual machine itself!!), but the ad was for Tide, not Cheer. So the original post commenting on Cheer ads not showing the actual brand of machine seems correct. Again, though if you were astute you...

Re: reply 37: I can't say that the Wisk liquid looks exactly like it would have when it was "new". But it hasn't separated at all and maybe the fact that they were in metal cans and not plastic jugs was helpful; or maybe they were carefully stored and tightly capped; or maybe all of the above...

Most of my real vintage products have no scent left, but they do work. The only ones that have some noticeable scent at all are a few boxes of Ajax 2 and Cheer, as well as the few cans of Wisk liquid. Obviously the liquid Wisk held its scent pretty well. And those powders were sealed in...

Have to agree - there is almost nothing on today's market that doesn't overpower with scent. I have found that the latest iteration of Tide with Bleach Powder to be less offensive than others. However this Tide scent is still nowhere as pleasant as the original scent when it was introduced...

Re: Reply #23. John, you bring up a point on something that has confused me (maybe I am just a slow learner, but...). The instructions on most detergents (in my case, Tide With Bleach Powder and Persil Stain Fighter Liquid) tell you how much to use for each size load. However, are these...

I forgot about boys' hair being "neatly trimmed and above the collar, with no excessively long sideburns". The funny thing was that no one in our school (total around 1,600 students from freshmen to senior) felt it necessary to protest. We just went on with our lives. There were kids who were...

Yup- pegging pants here in Connecticut also just refers to how tight you make the legs. In fact when I started high school in the fall of 1971, our school had a guide called the "Pilot" that every student received and outlined the behavioral expectations, etc... . It also had an extensive...

Some late 60's Hotpoints had a feature that allowed two loads to be done at the same time. There was an attachment that looked kind of like a mini basket and at that time Hotpoint still had a solid tub. Not sure if that made a difference. I don't recall that feature lasted long but at that...

Could be worse, I recall around a year ago, there was some publicity around putting jeans (or as I knew them - dungarees) in the freezer instead of washing them. I have no idea what that operation was supposed to do, but I recall Andy Cohen discussing it with Anderson Cooper. Sounds pretty...

Hmmm, since I use Tide With Bleach powder or my remaining stash of Persil Mega Pearls, and follow some fairly rigid laundry practices, then I saved myself $9.99 by not purchasing this new offering from P&G. It was always fascinating to me that TWB's activated bleaching system was initially...

Another issue with using the early front loaders was that the low sudsing detergents of the period - Dash, All and later Colgate's AD were not great cleaners according to CR testing. And getting the right suds level with Tide, Fab and other high performing, high suds detergents was challenging...

Was in Target yesterday and saw something called Tide "Ultra Oxi Whitening Boost". Comes in a powder format - 66 load size box and is intended to be used with detergent. The 3.56lb box is $9.99. Among its other claims is "tackles odors", "whitens whites", "tough on stains" and my personal...

CR also didn't test any powders - the recent print issue had a letter to the editor asking for their rationale. CR's response was that they tested products that most people buy and since powders are no longer popular, they didn't bother with them. I'm paraphrasing of course, but that was the...

that drop down door may be easy to load but it can be more inconvenient to unload. More convenient was the Norge hamper door that would actually fold all the way down against the front of the dryer so the laundry basket could be pushed up against the dryer for unloading.... One thing I just...

What town were they in?
