Retro Tide Giveaway

retro

Washday soaps? Jane tried ‘em all, and every new detergent. But, none matched Tide – and so she cried, “Please send some Tide! It’s urgent!”

To celebrate its 65th anniversary, Tide is releasing special edition retro 1947 packaging on its laundry detergent, Bounce dryer sheets, and Downey fabric softener available during this month in Target stores.  Remember when women wore their heels, pearls, and dresses to do household chores?  Me either.  While some things change (thank goodness!), Tide’s commitment to offering the “cleanest clothes possible” still remains. 

In honor of this anniversary celebration, Proctor & Gamble is generously offering two great prize packs to my readers, which include a Bounce Dryer Bar, a retro Tide t-shirt (featuring the Tide logo), and samples of Tide and Downey.  Deadline to enter is Monday, May 30, 2011 at 11 PM Central. (U.S. Only)

    I don’t mind doing laundry until it comes to my 17 yr old’s work clothes. He is a cook at a BBQ restaurant and his clothes don’t smell as good as the food he cooks. They smell like sweat and grease and rotten food. They are so gross.

    Everyone is responsible for emptying their pockets before putting their clothes in the laundry, and it’s annoying when someone doesn’t, and there’s shredded paper all over the clothes. I also have another rule, any money I find in the laundry is mine.

  83. Jessie says

    May 23, 2011 at 10:57 am

    I hate that my washing machine takes forever to unlock after it’s done spinning. I stand there, wanting to get on with my life, and the lid WILL NOT OPEN!

    I love the new location of my clothes line. Made one on the back porch, so now I can even use it when it’s raining. They smell great.
