  • ORIGINAL SCENT CHANGE -- NO QUESTION!

    Jul 06 '11
    Pros: It still cuts grease, but have to use more of it now for same results.
    Cons: Original blue scent has been changed. I, now, find it unpleasant to smell.

    Summary: The orginal blue bottle DAWN scent IS NOT the same original scent, though they market it as the same original scent.  That, in and of itself, bothers me greatly.  Did they actually think we wouldn't be able to tell?  ... read more
