USA seems to be BIG on liquids - is that a recent change in 'fashion'?

Matthew,
I've never seen so many detergents!!! Glad you told us which ones were the good. Wow!
I'm still buying the Sears brand, its very good in cleaning and lifting stains without fading clothes, and low sudsing so it rinses clear.
Which of those detergents are low sudsing?

I'm liking all these pictures! It's always interesting to see how colourful detergent aisles are in different countries, the stylign of packaging overseas seems to be more traditional too where here in the UK most if not all brands have very modern looking packaging, which is boring :-(.

I'll be armed with my phone camera next time I'm in Asda or Sainsbury's .

The US Pics amaze me

Our LCB section at most supermarkets fits into a 3 feet square frontage. There is usually White King, Chlorox (New product) and a generic. To have that many acres of bleach over here is unheard of. Our oxygen bleach section usually takes up a huge amount of space.

Another thing we dont get, are dryer sheets. I vaguely remember my grandmother using them in the early 80's, but since then I dont know that you can even buy them anymore.

The logo on the downy bottles looks slightly like our Comfort, and the Snuggle logo looks like my favorite fabric softener Huggie, which is one of the last remaining Australian owned and made products. I love my original scent Huggie, because it hasnt changed in the 25 years I've been alive, and has a non identifiable, but clean smelling scent. My grandmother bought the stuff by the boxload in the mid 80's, so that she could get Huggie Bears for all 9 grandchildren

Does the US get Fabric softener concentrate in little plastic baggies? They usually contain about 1 cup of liquid, and then you add 7 cups of water to make it into a 2L bottle of standard strength softener. Mum buys them because they are much cheaper, however I've never been fond of the smell, and find that the product when purchased full strength, smells better.
