Okay listen,
I would be a lot more impressed with this blueland stuff and other dry laundry detergent sheets meant to replace liquid detergent/products, if it wasn't all worse, more expensive and worse for the environment than what we already HAD but has now vanished from shelves.
GUYS. Before liquid detergent as the default, POWDERED detergent for both laundry and dishwasher, WAS the standard. BIG FUCKING BOX of PURE DETERGENT POWDER. [we are ignoring what you can do with bar soap for now...]
And instead of little individually packaged sheets? I was just ONE BIG CHONK bulk box. A cardboard recycle-able box. With a little recyclable plastic scoop, just a tiny scoop!
You'd just measure out the amount you needed with a scoop.
If you were worried about it dissolving properly you could just scoop it into a container with water a bit ahead of time, if water where you are was like too hard or soft or cold or whatever.
Literally all that "don't pay to ship the water weight" and "don't use the plastic necessitated by containing fluids" and all the gas not consumed shipping that wight etc... Already wasn't a problem to solve if you picked one of two popular and available options.
Only it was DIRT CHEAP, available in stores everywhere, and wasn't consuming some kind of "eco friendly" packaging on each 'serving'. And I don't want to ACCUSE these new eco brands of anything, but right about the time they started advertising, I STOPPED being able to FIND fucking normal-ass powdered detergent anywhere.
You used to get a giant-ass box of it for 3-4$ that could last you 1-2 years if you were just one little guy doing your own washing!
What the fuck happened?
If I find out that these new eco brands participated in the fall/death of normal-ass powdered detergent as a way of profiting off of people's desire to be more eco-minded... I *might* just actually turn to arson [for legal reasons I must point out I am joking, this is a joke, haha]...
Someone study this.
Like it very much reads as some company creating a problem to be like "look we solved it :) give us more money." [Fuck the poors IG]
In the meantime, please put my box of powdered detergent back on the shelf I am sick of hauling liquid detergent home and I am not subscribing to fuck all.
Why can I not get a box of powdered laundry detergent at walmart, at the grocery or even online at walmart anymore? It's not even in dollar-stores which means no one is producing enough for it to be over-stock.
WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED?
