 I am not sure if anyone else out there has seen the new product that hit the market recently called “Dropps.” I found them the local Target and I thought someone had misplaced dish washer detergent in the wron g aisle. The bag looks a lot like the action pacs from Cascade (you may have seen those). I think my ADD got the best of me, but I picked up the bag and started to read what the heck the product was and here is a synopsis: it is laundry detergent. The hook of ‘Dropps’ is that they have A) taken the guess work out of laundry and B) hooked up the environment at the same time. Win, win, right? What about the old laundry jugs? Aren’t they cool too Joeprah? Bah! Old laundry detergents are heavy and take up more space and require trucks shipping them to consume more oil and take more trips to deliver the equivalent amount of laundry cleaning power in the Dropps packs. I love the progressive thought pattern that was used to create this product, go small—go green. Very cool. Anyways, here is a list of the pros and cons for each style of laundry detergent:
| | Pros | Cons | - A good workout each time you do the laundry
- Easy to find
- Cleans Laundry
| - Drips all over
- Heavy as crap
- Expensive: about 47 cents a load for the regular jugs, about 35 cents a load for the concentrated jugs (if used properly)
- You Need a Lot of it
- Measuring is required
- Kids can’t carry it out of the car
- Made out of 75% New Material
|
| | Pros | Cons | - Helps the environment
- Requires Less Energy to Transport
- Conserves Plastic because it isn’t in a dinosaur jug
- Conserves water
- Light
- Doesn’t require measurement
- I can throw them in the washing machine via hook-shot
- Easy to Use
- Cleans Laundry
- Cheaper: about 30 cents a load
| - Only found in Select Targets, Walmarts & Wholefoods Stores
|
So, besides the fact that Dropps isn’t an easy to find product (yet), it is pretty clear to see that it owns the jug-o-detergent. I am not a paid representative of Dropps, but I wouldn’t turn down free samples (ahem) if anyone from Dropps noticed this post. So, here’s the recap: Dropps are easier to use and better for the environment than the old bulky detergents out there, why not give them a try? Special Thanks to Assistant Joeprah Editor: Mrs. Whimsy
