Axion

Out of nowhere, an 18-oz. box of Axion detergent booster showed up at a local convenience store near me. It was the same version from the early '90s, before it disappeared (at least here) - bright blue box, orange/yellow lettering. I scooped it up at $3. The box smells like the store it was sitting in, but with a small squeeze near the top, the scent I remember poured through. I'll have to resist the temptation to open it!

It seems these independently-owned convenience stores are the best places for spotting old detergents/formulas. This same store carries large 1-cup formula boxes of Tide (although NOT the classic scent, but the newer scent that's been around for a while).

Clorox used to have a product called "Dry Bleach" for whites. It basically was an activated perborate bleach with enzymes but without OBA's and heavy surfactants. It was discontiuned several years ago, but just happened to nab a box a few months ago when someone was cleaning shelves at the local supermarket. Guess this one box was stuffed at the back and forgotten.
