I abruptly went to Greece a few days ago. I was at the grocery store and just had to stop at the local appliance dealer to see. I only had a minute but I thought I’d share a few photos. | ||

The Skip detergent design looks similar to some Persil products....

We've done this before.
Crosfield soap makers had UK and other countries outside of Germany. Basically for a start Henkel sold off said rights because it was easier to license Persil than set up various factories and so forth all over Europe.
Lever Brothers purchased Crosfield and thus got their mitts on Persil for UK and elsewhere. Henkel however still owns rights to Persil for Germany, North America and other places Unilever does not. Over the years each have attempted to buy the other out, but no one would budge. This being said neither company uses "Persil" universally. In France because Persil means "parsley" Unilever's top detergent is "Skip". Henkel OTOH markets their top laundry product under "Le Chat" brand. For North America Henkel now markets Persil. You can find Unilever Persil on various UK/Europe import sites, and IIRC some members have spotted it in local specialty shops, but other than that Unilever does not sell the stuff formally here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persil... | ||
