Noticed new Fab liquid today

[twinniefan]

I was doing a little shopping today and noticed a new laundry liquid in Franklins,(soon to be I.G.A.),Liquid Fab in sunshine fresh and floral enchantment, I think that Colgate are using these weird fragrances in Fab to match the also weird fragrances in Unilever's Surf range.
Did not buy any as we have got 2 full boxes of the above mentioned Surf anyway,actually I wonder if Unilever have reformulated Surf as it seems to work better than before and I am thinking of making it my daily driver now.
The liquid Fab must be totally new as it is not even on Colgate-Palmolive's Fab webpage yet.
Have any of our Aussie crew tried liquid Fab yet or eve nagree with me about Surf powder.?

Levers reformulated Surf when they went phosphate free. When Choice tested detergents last it had gone from so-so to a top rated performer the equivalent of OMO and Drive - especially the front load version....

 

....it's now my daily driver!

I have seen Fab Liquid in Big W in the big tap bottles, big pink bottles and only in the Frangipani scent, smells like the Supreme Front Loader liquid one might find in Crazy Clarks or some IGA's.

Haven't tried it as don't like Fabs reformulation with the added fabric softener.

Thanks guys,
Chris that's great its like having Omo in many different fragrances.!
I quite like the cool lime and mint powder and the lemon and bergamot.
Matty, in that case I wont try the liquid Fab then, actually I have never really been a Fab fan, except the old lemon formula all those years ago, hhmm I still remember those old black and white Fab commercials with Shandelle Franklin as the Fab lady.
Oh dear I think the years are rapidly passing me by now.l.o.l.

Unfortunately, the Fab detergent here in the US (both liquid and powder) are manufactured by Phoenix Brands and aren't even half the equivalent of what you guys have in Oz. Tried it...didn't like it.

I sure wish I were able to ge my hands and nose on some of your front-load laundry detergents. You have soft water as we do, and I would really enjoy testing-out your products as I do ours. Here, Fab, Dynamo & Ajax were made by Colgate Palmolive, and Wisk, All & Surf used to be made by Lever, but are no longer. Only one each 2X concentrated Wisk and All liquid formulas, either top-load or he, are top rated, the others fared very poorly. It's also cool to see you have IGA's down there too!(there's one right near where I work)

Colgate-Palmolive

Hi Jason, Dynamo, Fab and Cold Power are still made by Colgate Palmolive here,although I have noticed on C.P.'S website,that C.P.'s budget brand, Spree is no longer on there, I don't know if they have discontinued it or what, not that I was a great fan of it anyway.
Omo, Drive and Surf are still made by Unilever.
Yes I.G.A. grocery stores recently took over the now defunct Franklins chain although I believe some of them may still carry the Franklins name.
