The title is a bit of an exaggeration.

Why do corporations change shampoo and toothbrushes so often? I’ll go through 10 different shampoos and toothbrushes, then find ones I like. I’ll probably be able to purchase them again a few times before the ones I like are no longer available.

What are the forces driving manufacturer’s to change their basic wares so often? Besides Wall St. greed, that is?

    Guhl doesn’t change its shampoos.

    But toothbrushes? I’m guessing they’re just buying the cheapest ones they can find in China and sticking their brand name on them.

      Thanks for the tip on Guhl.

      I’m not familiar with Guhl. When I did a search, the first result was for Guhl Motors. My thought was, “Thank goodness my motor oil won’t change formula.” 😀
