   The latest bottle of ‘Tide Free & Gentle’ (unscented) detergent we purchased very clearly has a scent. I thought I was losing my mind but I see numerous recent reviews at different retailers stating the exact same thing. What the actual hell? Why does everything have to be enshittified, even freakin’ laundry detergent?! We’ve used this detergent for years, but never again. Going to have to re-wash my two loads of laundry I did today too after I go pick up some ‘All Free & Clear’. 😡

     @NefariousAryq @ai6yr @sollat Back when I commuted to work, I would get raging headaches every Monday morning. I just assumed it was, you know, going to work, but then I realized it was all the SCENTS after a weekend's respite. Hair product! After shave! Laundry detergent! Deodorant! Perfume! A bus load of it!!

     @ai6yr @sollat It kills me when I can smell people's detergent when I'm out walking on the trail. ALL THE TIME anymore! Like, omg... what are you like in an enclosed space if this is what you smell like outdoors?!?!?! 🤢

     @NefariousAryq @sollat Yes, I can follow people's scent down a street 20 minutes after they have passed. So much perfume or cologne because they lost their sense of smell.

     @NefariousAryq @sollat I'm pretty sure this is a result of COVID-19 and people losing their sense of smell. So many consumer complaints about "your product doesn't smell good anymore" and what really has happened is a significant portion of the population lost their sense of smell due to COVID-19 after effects.

     @sollat @ai6yr We went through this with our dishwasher detergent, too, not too long ago. We always used to use a specific variety of Finish — and after the change we tried every single one and they're all horribly scented now. Tons of reviews of this, people hate it. I don't understand this fascination with adding massive amounts of horrible scents to EVERYTHING. F*cking obnoxious, again.

     @sollat @ai6yr Ugh, yeah, the Dawn we used to use changed the formula recently and became much more scented. We switched to the lemon and unscented, both have been okay for us.

     @NefariousAryq Gah. I hate that. Dawn dish detergent did that recently too, horrible. They increased the perfume in the detergent by a magnitude, and it's a different smell. WHY would you do that?!?!

     @ai6yr @NefariousAryq
     All those new scented Dawn varieties are terrible.

     There’s a new unscented Dawn that’s been okay for me.

     Maybe return the Tide? There can be mistakes during manufacturing. I’m still working through my stock and very much hope it’s not coming for me, too.

     @ai6yr It's — excuse my language — fucking obnoxious. I can't even handle the clothing that has been washed in this latest bottle of Tide 'free & gentle' without having an allergic reaction, let alone actually WEAR the clothing.

     We've used both Tide Free & Gentle and All Free & Clear for years without issue... but I'll never purchase another Tide product again as long as I live after this.
