Odd Italian laundry soap anyone heard of it?

[bellalaundry]

Today at a local discount store I found some laundry soap and softeners for sale. The all purpose one is named "Power Boy" (made by Silva), and is available in powder or liquid. They also have a liquid for black washes named "Black Boy" (seriously!). The sofetner is "Soft Boy". Great names! I of course bought some of each.

Has anybody heard of these, or used these. Are they bottom of the barrel or not bad?

I picked them up in Toronto at Honest Ed's. Bathurst and Bloor.

I didn't know they made a laundry soap specifically for old Italians... ;-)

Honest Ed's?????

Oh, my word! They're still in business? I used to visit Toronto more than I do now, and every time I got there, I had to go to Honest Ed's.

It is a trip!

If you are visiting Toronto, you must.
