I did have to look this one up but I remember the saying oh I could crush a grape from years ago, it was Stu Francis when he was on childrens tv

Re: Product Changes

I'm always buying those pump action hand soaps, you twist them & then they still don't work so you have to decant them into an old one or, as I have bought a decorative one & just fill it up. Surf washing liquid! Grrr, I can never get the plastic measure off the top so I can't unscrew it, only buy it on special offer.
I wonder what happens to all the things that disappear from the shelves, do the companies stop making them or go out of business. Years ago I used to like Tyne Brand tinned minced beef, fresh stuff was always too fatty and chewy, that vanished, then it was Mrs Beeton's apple tarts, Prit gel glue, never found another one as good at sticking everything and McVities apple bakes, changed beyond the realms of decent taste...

Re: Product Changes

Re: Product Changes

...but, the old stuff, worked better, tasted better, lasted longer...

Re: Product Changes

Look I just write the bleeding adverts. Jenny always said I would have great at it if I wasn`t a nice person.

Re: Product Changes

Do you have dark and evil thoughts that just won't come out?
Honi soit, qui mal y pense, remember!

Says moi, whose stuck in the Victorian era!

Re: Product Changes

Rebrands usually come in smaller packages, in my view.

And here's a question on disappearing goods. Whatever happened to Camay? I think that would make a new thread...members listing their favourite items that have disappeared from the shelves.

Oh, and why don't Sainsburys sell Toast Topper?

Re: Product Changes

I think all these companies get caught up in the “New improved, smart new slick bottle” rage, non slip out of your hands containers, longer lasting, etc. most of them are longer lasting because you can’t get the new top off to use them, child proof caps drive me nuts, it’s a good idea to write down how you opened it because when you go to do it again you will have forgotten the combination of hand contortions you had to use before you got lucky the first time, the caps are usually white and so are the written instructions making it impossible to read without a microscope, they just can’t leave well enough alone can they?

Re: Product Changes

Pardon my ignorance, but what is Toast Topper???

Re: Product Changes

Ah chocolate to raise serotinin levels I assume? Mind you there could be other hidden meanings??
