Has anyone seen this variety of Cheer lately?

I am looking for some of this - it was plentiful in one of our grocery stores last I looked in November/December, now it is gone. They must have put it on clearance or something. If anyone sees this anywhere available, please let me know!!! The Fresh Linen scent is awesome but was discontinued by P&G in July 2011....

THANKS in advance!

Seems to me that Cheer for Darks is the only Cheer around these parts.

It's amazing what you find when you look specifically.

I have found a few bottles of old Cheer with the red caps, then newer dark blue bottles with matching caps (same stuff inside, just new color bottles). Some is HE, some is non-HE, and found it in 50 and 100oz sizes. I even found some Cheer Free in both sizes.

Seems Target in the Carolinas is the only store with the Cheer for darks. This I really LIKE as it has chlorine scavengers in it and we have higly chlorinated water here in Charlotte at times. This used to have the same Fresh Linen scent. Not sure it still does as I have yet to visit Target to find out.

So I don't start a new thead:

Is Cheer for Darks the same as cheer stay colorful? I have been looking for "Cheer for Darks" and have't found any.

Beware, Amy: Cheer For Darks contains brighteners, which make blacks look dusty or faded. Why on Earth they would market a detergent for dark colors, then add brighteners is beyond me.

Amy -

I LOVE Cheer for darks. It is still manufactured, and it has this same scent for which I started this thread. Recently the only physical store that I've found Cheer for Darks is at Target in the 26-load bottle. P&G even told me on the phone that Target is the best place to look for this.

The new super dark navy bottles of Cheer Darks has a very similar label to the regular. Earlier this week Target had bottles on the shelf that were made on the 351st day of 2011!!!! That's mid-December, so it was REALLY fresh stuff.

I've never noticed an issue with my darks looking dusty or faded, in fact they look more solidly dark when I use this. I use it especially in summer with my dark Polos as Charlotte seems to have more chlorine in our water when more of it is moving through the utility system when people are filling pools and watering lawns.

If you can't find it at Target, try Soap.com. They have it online for $6.85. I've bought from them before.
