About this deal

Surprising number of brands that were test marketed but never made it nationally. Especially since the New York Metro area is not used as a test market area so we miss a lot of products. The FDA's proposed rule came after data suggested that long-term exposure might lead to bacterial resistance or have hormonal effects. Research by the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy group, found companies using triclosan — which is also used as a pesticide — in many soaps and even in toothpaste.

Surf and Bold, marketed as cleaning well on the whole wash and costing a little less, not specifically aimed at any market group but definitely VFM. Tide, Gain and Cheer's original fragrances from the 60's (Cheer's fragrance didn't change until the late 80's. The real original Tide fragrance changed in the early 70's when all that phosphate unpleasantness started and Gain's changed once in the 80's, again in the 90's and many more times since)

Cinch (P&G dishwashing liquid, late '80s, with grit in it for scrubbing, test marketed in Kansas City). unusual swing spout (instead of push/pull). Later name resurrected as a window cleaner (mid 90s) I forgot about Clorox Detergent. I was working in the LA area and apparently it was past test market but not national so every time i went to California, I would stuff some boxes in my luggage. I still have one box left securely wrapped in plastic. It was a pretty good product and low sudsing to boot with a great fragrance. I can't think of the name, but she also used a liquid detergent for mopping and it had a really strong smell. It was called the white tornado in a bottle and that's all I can remember. Can anyone help me out with that one.

Would like to know about any discontinued detergents, additives, stain sprays etc that you remember which are now discontinued,here is my list. Frend prewash spray-remember the jingle?."Keep a frend near your washing machine when it comes to getting out stains."Solarcaine (used mainly for sunburn, it was manufactured by Plough, who also made Coppertone products) Mom used Jergen's Lotion in the glass with the pump. It sat on her dresser. It smelled like cherries. I loved that fragranace. I would sneak in there and squirt it all over myself. Of course she knew what was going on. My mother was very tolerant! The only thing you couldn't touch was her sewing machine. She would have a hissy.
