A word about "new and improved" and charging more..... could be what these turkeys are have done with their "DEF" improvement.

Get this....

Have you noticed that "Dawn" dishwashing liquid just does not work as well as it use to from about 2 (maybe 3) years ago now? Well, it's true. It just doesn't have the grease cutting power any more.

I actually contacted the manufacturers of "Dawn" and complained about it NOT cutting grease like it use to and wondered if they down-graded the formula or something. Dawn (was) a magnificant grease cutter; not just cooking grease, but engine oil, black axle grease, and even tree sap. Not so any more.....

So, I got a response back from then (which I really did not expect at all), but their response angered me a lot. Here's what's happened.

Indeed, the original "Dawn" formula in the original bottle you see on the shelf today was changed some 2 years ago now, and even THEY admitted to me it's not as strong or robust as it was originally. You have to use more, a lot more, in order to get the stuff to work even remotely like it use to.

What they did then, was introduce "Dawn Platinum". Dawn Platinum IS the original formula (the formula did not change at all, but they call it "Plantinum" now) and they are charging more for it than the dawn in the "non Platinum" bottle.

I'm still angered over that! Now you know the "rest of the story."
