Popped into shops earlier for few things and wandered down detergent aisle. Didn't need anything from that area, but as it was opposite paper products....
Noticed something odd about those new Tide liquid bottles with clear caps. The smaller size seemed strange. Looked at label and saw jug contains only 37 ounces. Thought to myself "that's funny", as am sure once got more for money.
And I was right of course; when got home looked at bottles of Tide liquid in my stash and they are all 50 ounces. Didn't look at new containers to see if Tide is now more concentrated, but have my suspicions.
Smaller bottles are easier and cheaper to package and ship. With huge growth of online shopping such as Amazon, P&G and others have had to respond with often new containers. Less bulk, and that sort of thing.
Question is what does public get for those missing thirteen ounces? Did P&G merely remove water leaving a more concentrated product? This would mean could use less and still get same number of washes per container and results.
Or, was container made smaller but product is same so now get less washes per bottle.
