More important PSA: Do not buy laundry detergent in 5 gallon buckets because then you have to do a fuckload of laundry.

I do a fuckload of laundry anyway. 4 sets of bed sheets per week, a light and dark load on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and towels on Monday and Friday. That's 12 loads of laundry per week during the school year. The frequency is lessened during the summer because I don't always wash the kids' sheets if they're sleeping elsewhere most of the week, and only do the normal clothes loads on Monday and Thursday.

Another thought that is scary is when the TPP passes, crap like this fake detergent is going to be sold in stores too.
Are you sure about that? There are a lot of legitimate things to complain about with the TPP. You don't have to make up fake things to rant and rave about.

Google "how often should you change your sheets".

I used to do them every other week (two beds one week, two the next) but my wife sweats at night and my youngest son's sheets start to smell in less than a week (puberty - it sucks), so it is what it is....

When you think about it, you're "wearing" your sheets for 8 hours a day every day. How often do you change your clothes that you wear the other 16 hours a day?

the NY mafia was counterfeiting ketchup, and the italian mafia's biggest pull is counterfeit olive oil. so, gray market tide isn't much of a shocker, though i have to wonder how much profit can be left over after shipping (shipping a container must be much less expensive than i think).

LOL, this is probably one of the best spam bumps here.

Laundry detergent? I just use dish soap. Gets my clothes AND my floors clean at the same time.

well, it doesnt matter now, but you can get big tubs of detergent from Home Depot and Lowes, and its legit.
