[edit] strategies to maintain appeal to consumer

[edit] Advertising history

There is a Tide jingle, I believe from around '86-'87 that goes:

new Tide gets out the dingies, lots of stains that sat around
other brands keep tryin' but they can let you down
now colors that you once thought were long dead
are bloomin' again, across your bed
so - no, no, don't throw that shirt away
goodbye to tough stains and whites that turn gray
no nothin' cleans like new Tide can
new Tide can make old look new again

There might be more, that's all I can recall from memory. Would like to know the full song and have a reference if possible, but unable to find. halfmoon 20:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Liquid formula dates?

When were liquid and "ultra" liquid Tide introduced? --68.103.154.11 00:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tide Urban Legends

I heard that Tide was so strong that, over time, rubber components in washing machines would be degraded and eventually cause the machine to break. --68.103.154.11 00:47, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like an urban legend to me! Atlant 11:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC) (Long-term Tide user)

[edit] What was Tide XK

I see a similar product on old commercials. Was this part of Tide. It looks exactly the same only no XK —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.143.230.8 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Tide Cold Water?

Is there any information on whether or not Tide and Tide Cold Water are similar/the same. Looking at the list of ingredients on both packages, I can't tell the difference between the formula. But then, I'm a writer and not a scientist. If this is true, however, it needs to be published, because a lot of people are falling for it (like the Dannon Activa thing).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TideLogo.gif
