How much does Dawn Soap profit from oil spills?

[edro]

I notice they have been advertising more about how their product cleans animals covered in oil.

I doubt they make much money off of Dawn prodcuts purchased to save animals, but I bet the influx of advertising and playing on the hearts of people generates some cash.

eh... most people buy the same dish soap everytime because they always have. i dont see many people switching brands due to their good deeds.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask this.

I never look at the name on the bottle. I buy by price and price alone. It's dish soap for crying out loud. Lately I've been buying whatever the 99 cent store has on their shelves.

as I recall they donated a large amount to help the effort. May boost brand recognition in the short term, but not significantly I'd guess

i did say most

you do still fall under the category of "those who wont change their buying habits due to Dawn's Good Publicity"

I'd imagine that the people who make underwater drilling equipment and oil dispersant are making the REAL profits right now... not to mention the seafood distributors that AREN'T located along the gulf coast.

That's repackaged banned Chinese toothpaste, thinned with canal water. Works GREAT with no problems as long as you don't use it on anything you then eat off of . . . wait!

Just Marketing. The Ads existed before the Spill.

I do dishes without oil slick so their commercial has no effect on me.
