Must have been in a test market somewhere. Check out the pictures of the early '60s machines

Pacs/Pods have a carved themselves a solid share in today's detergent market. It's fun to see a company that tried the same thing nearly 50 years ago.
Of course, my mom wasn't one to try envelope-pushing products. She bought Salvo tablets once and made a mess trying to break them in half because she thought the dosage on the box was excessive. They never appeared in our laundry room again. Learned a few choice Italian swear words in the process, though, LOL. Had a similar experience earlier this week with the Blackstone washer POD--it offered a water saving spin-spray rinse in lieu of a deep rinse in 1974. |

I've got an unopened box. Pretty minty.
Not sure what to DO with it, but I have it, lol. |

The agitator when they dropped it onto the load looked like a Surgilator. |

Clorox detergent was sold here, too. I liked it, but in all honesty it probably didn't clean as well as Tide With Bleach.
Here's another attempt by Clorox to break into the detergent market, dated 1985. Coincidentally, Act was a packet detergent like Hum. |
