Yes, I need to rant. Just a little bit. Don't you just hate it when a product that you have grown to love over a period of years is changed or discontinued?!? Yes, I know, change is good. Supposedly. But for me, I'm just pissed.
Downy changed. I've been using the regular Downy for I don't know how many years. Love, love, LOVE the smell of freshly washed and dried clothes that have been done with Downy. And now? They've added those darned scent pearls that supposedly extend the scent for a full week. Well maybe it does extend the scent, but now the scent absolutely reeks. I bought a bottle of the stuff, washed and dried a load of clothes, and about gagged at how they smelled. So I'm thinking, ok, maybe they had a production problem. So I bought a second bottle. Same reeking scent. And now? Well, now, I have to use Bounce dryer sheets. Just NOT the same.
And then there's the perfumed body lotion that I use. Thierry Mugler's Angel. I absolutely ADORE this scent. Some time back, they changed the body lotion. Added scent pearls to extend the scent. Imagine that. And now the lotion stinks. BUT, they assured me that they would continue to offer the "classic" lotion for those of us that prefer it. So I went to order some today. And guess what? They've discontinued it. Argh!
And those are just two recent examples.
I've bitched, I've complained, I've even posted on their Facebook pages -- but to no avail. In these cases, I really hate change.
Ok, I feel a little better now.
