Why do so many Americans use Bounce (and such like) dryer sheets so much?
They are horrible - in the UK they aren't that popular. Bounce for example comes in 2 fragrances and that's it and most places don't carry a lot of stock of them either.
Should one ever wish to see what heavy and routine use of dryer fabric softener sheets can do to dryers, peek the inside of laundromat dryers. At least those I've seen around here are so badly discoloured and such from those darn sheets. Have stood standing and watched customers at laundromats chuck two or three dryer sheets for each load.
