| Every time I find a product that I like--shampoo, blue jeans, a brand of honey mustard, whatever--the manufacturers have to go and "improve" it. They take something perfectly fine and change it to the point that it is of no use whatsoever to me. I have discovered that my shampoo has a new formula and it leaves me looking like Medusa over here! Grrrrrrr! It irritates the lining of my mind! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! |

| Well, then pass me a can of Raid so I can wash my hair! Maybe a healthy dose of methylchloroisothiazolinone for good measure. |

I was thinking maybe fly paper could be used to get the bangs outta ones face ? |

Hair clips work better than fly paper.
I didn't mean how did you know both products contain that ingredient, I mean how do you know that Raid makes your hair tangly? Little Raid/Aqua Net mix-up? |

| Ha ha! Yellow (jaune) for flying insects and green (vert) for crawling ones. I get it. What about hairy ones? That's what I need. Rouge or bleu peut-etre? (I had to look up the spelling on that. My first guess was petetre. Does that mean anything?) |

Never heard that saying. It's funny.
My assumption is that the whole "new and improved" thing is a huge marketing ploy. I am sad it had an affect on you as I assumed the changes were so slight that it didn't much matter.
