Why mess with a good thing?
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

Why mess with a good thing? We’ve used Tide for years. It’s all I grew up on and everybody use to say how great my clothes smelled. Not anymore…the smell of the original scent is awful. Coke found out the hard way back in the 80’s, that if you got a great thing. LEAVE IT ALONE! It’s not rocket science. Cleans clothes great smells great. Bring THAT back! On behalf of all of people who take pride in doing their laundry
