you know what i hate?
chinese drivers? well, yes (and i'm allowed to say that because it isn't racism if you're hating on your own kind) but that's really besides the point.
i hate those commercials for those 2X concentrated laundry detergents.
specifically, i hate the part where they say "smaller so it uses less plastic and therefore is better for then environment"... and it annoys me to no end that the general public is dumb enough to buy that line! you know what uses less plastic? putting the 2X concentrated stuff in the regular-sized bottle. you know what else is better for the environment? making detergents with fewer sulphates... sulphates are the stuff in detergents that make it 'sudsy' and people generally associate 'sudsiness' with cleanliness. not necessarily true.
but back to the packaging problem...
2 of those smaller bottles uses more material and more processing time than the original container. not to mention the time/money/materials they used to make up the mold for the new, smaller bottle. wouldn't it have been better just to make a new label?
aurg! so frustrating!
