Electrools dishwasher detergent is now...

[nmaineman36]

I went to WalMart in Salem Mass today and was browsing thu the dishwashing aisle and I came across the New Electrosol 3 in 1 gels pacs and on the box it says...Finish is the new name for ..Electrosol. Every single box and canister has that saying. Looks like Electrosol's name is going bye bye and Finish is baaaack!

I bet it's been at least 20 years (probably more, I can't remember the last time I had it) since there's been Finish, at least in the US. I'm just giggling about how many people are going to think this name is completely new and different!

That's why the other day, right up until I got far enough to see it was a joke, I bought right into that Toyota buying Oldsmobile thing. US names always seem to find new homes overseas, and in this case eventually come back to roost!

...is there any listing or indication on the package that it's approved by the leading 37 manufacturers of automatic dishwashers?

Wow I do remember when it was called Big Load Finish. The smell of the stuff I did like and did it clean. Today they only have a few makes like Maytag, Whirlpool, Bosch and GE. Not even close to 37.

Well, many of those 37 were produced by D&M.

You would have thought that I could spell Electrosol right for the heading...gawd I just noticed that!

Uh-Oh:

" Wow I do remember when it was called Big Load Finish."

NO, Toggles.

It's too easy. ;-)

A Big Load Finish, huh? Hmmmm. Good thing it wasn't called "Big Load FINNISH"!

You still haven't spelled it right...lol....it's Electr"a"sol.

You would think that I would have gotten it right by now and I had the box in front of me when I started this thread. Electrasol...now I wonder since they are switching the name to Finish if they are going to bring over to North America those Finish Quantum tabs. I would love to get my mitts on those. They have them at the online British grocer but the cost for shipping is a bit much.

They use a slogan like "Better Cleaning Starts with Finish!"
or something equally tacky.

"Brilliant Cleaning Starts With Finish".
