In a bygone era when women wore dresses and high heels to carry their families’ laundry in a wicker basket to their very first automatic washing machine, they turned to Tide for “the cleanest clothes possible.” More than a half-century later, families still turn to Tide, now offered in more than two dozen liquid and powder formulas.  To celebrate its 65th Anniversary, Tide is issuing special-edition packages with the 1947 label. Procter & Gamble (P&G) invites consumers to enjoy a blast from the past with retro-packaged Tide, Bounce and Downy available at Target in May, while supplies last.

The vintage packaging harkens back to Tide’s early print advertising, which featured copy such as:

  • Washday soaps? Jane tried ‘em all, And every new detergent. But, none matched Tide – and so she cried, „“Please send some Tide! It’s urgent!“
  • Detergents, soaps, she tried them all and wasn’t satisfied … But now his shirts are dazzling clean! Smart girl … she turned to Tide!

My Thoughts: Tide is a name I always knew growing up since it’s been around before I was even born.  And it’s nice to see a product stick around for so  long.  Then I know it’s a proven product.  I love P&G’s idea of bringing back the retro look of Tide and I think it’s fun to see how much things have changed.  Even just the thought of women wearing dresses and high heels doing laundry.  I won’t even tell you what I wear while doing laundry!  Things sure have changed.

You can purchase the retro-packaged products at Target nationwide.
