My understanding was that a lot of the "benefit" of more concentrated laundry detergent was that people think it's 3x was valuable when they buy it, but they put far more than a third as much in each load -- so they buy & use more. (in this case, I'm pretty sure "them" includes me)
- Qz 17y agoOh yes I'm fully aware of that. It's more of a problem with dishwashing detergent than laundry detergent. Concentrated dishwashing detergent is a huge scam because the same amount comes out of the bottle when you squeeze it (also why I dislike hand soap pump dispensers). With laundry detergent, they have smaller caps to fill so at least if you pay attention then you won't over-use it. I've also noticed that a lot of food product vendors are turning the old 'more is cheaper' paradigm upside down. I keep running into products where the 24oz container is more expensive than two of the 12oz containers, etc. It's just like the extra large pizza scams.
