What's everybody's reaction to P&G cutting the price of Cheer by 13% and "positioning" it as a value brand? I wonder if this means it'll be reformulated to a less-effective product. And get this: I called Cheer's 800 number and asked about this upcoming change in the product...and the phone rep denied the change!! It was bad enough when the powdered Cheer went from blue to white..now this!
 
we use cheer and have for the past 30 years. I have seen it go thru many changes. cheaper has never been one of them. I like the sound of this.
 
Cheerless

I stopped using Cheer when their Blue Cheer was replaced and they changed the aroma.It was close to the year they introduced liquid Cheer.Sometime around '82.I was a loyal user of it in my top loading FRIGIDAIRE Jet Action 1-18.I think John in Boston has that machine or did have it at one time.It actualy smelled like Cheer inside as much as I washed in it during the "good old days" when I lived in a neat highrise apartment in Baltimore where I would have dirty laundry parties every weekend and lots of people would come and use whatever machines I had running to do wash.The WO65 and WC6 were the ones that were most popular.I hate the way PG changes their formulas and scents.Make up your mind and stick to it.
 
I posted this on another thread the other day.

Cheer was always known as a "heavy duty" detergent in both powder and liquid form (even had that claim on the box and bottle). I purposely went to the detergent aisle on a rushed trip at one of the grocery stores yesterday to see if it still made that claim.

Alas, it didn't. :(
 
I did not know about cheer, but the color guard formulation was good for dark clothing, I bought a small bottle of Oxydol at dollar tree have not tried it yet.

Chuck, that must have been about the same time there was an article about you (I guess distributed via wire services) and your fascination and collection of washers in the Houston Chronical one Saturday. I've looked around here, I don't have the copy of it any more. :-( But I sure remember you and that article.
 
Memories of fun in "ballmer hon!"

Yupp Appnut,that was me in my "Baltimore Glamour Years"LOL! It was lots of fun and I'd usualy,if I wasn't too hung over or not having sezures or covulsions that day,and wasn't at some twinkee's home in bed doing "nasties",have "Dirty laundry parties"and do laundry in some of the classic Westinghouse Laundromat or FRIGIDAIRE WO65 in my kitchen.I'd cook up a storm on my coppertone shaded GE Americana(1966) 40 inch range with P7,two ovens,Meat probe,rotisary,SensiTemp with 4"/6"or 8"capability,two ovens and two outlets-one of which could be set to automaticaly come on for as many hours as you wated and shut itself off.The food I was prepairing was kept fresh in my coppertone FRIGIDAIRE refrigerator from 1963.I'd be blasting my stereo playing all the vinals recording them on to cassett tapes and dancing in my living room in front of a huge 10X25 foot mirror.I miss that old Pepsi warehouse they had converted in 1945 to an apartment complex.The bathroom was pink,black and white and was full of pink flamingo memarobelia!The toilet was the old tankless type that was in our schools.My manx cat,Teddy,would drink out of this toilet and sometimes fell in!!I miss him too.He was more like a dog than a cat and would fetch,roll over and wrestle with you using his paws like boxing gloves.He loved laying out on the outer window sills and fell 4 stories down one afternoon to the parking lot below and lived to brag about it.What a cat he was.Manx cats are unique as well as cool.

By the way,People Magazine(March '89 anniversary issue under collectors)also came,just before my successful left temporolobectomy brain surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital where I worked until 1992,and wrote a two page story about my "passion".The next day,I had my hair styling friend,Frank,who lived on the first floor of my building,shave my hair off leaving the words"Enter here" with an arrow pointing to the area where I was being cut.Had he not done that,I would have been real bad off because the day I was aadmitted for this surgery that was,at that time,experimental,My favorite woman of all time,Lucille Ball died!I was real sad but,the laughs I got from all who were involved in these two serious surgeries I was about to have,realy helped and I realy believe that Lucy's spirit had a bit to do with that. NO MORE SEZURES!!My last one was 04/26/'89!Thirty years and still no meds,no sezures.
