New isn't improved.

Once again a product I like has gone "new and improved."  Problem is, while it might be new, it is improved to a point that I don't like it any more.

I don't know if it is because I am of a certain age, but I don't want  Fabreeze to my laundry detergent,  fish oils in my shampoo, or having my deoderant or my dish soap smell like a flower arrangement.

What is wrong with detergent smelling like detergent, shampoo just be shampoo, and deoderant and dish soap that smells like, well, nothing?

I don't need or want lime green or purple ketchup. 

I am in the market for a new TV.  My big old honking Zennith is finally giving out signals that one day shortly it is going to blow.   I went looking the other day at TV's. 

The nice sales person was showing me a nice tv.   But then he went on about  Inputs, system outputs, USB ports, and where I could attach my game system, camera, Tivo, DVD, stereo , computer,  and told me about wireless keyboards, wireless speakers, and showed me a remote that you would need a PHD in rocket science to figure out.  

I asked him if they just made televisions designed for just watching tv.  He looked at me like I was nuts.
