Dishwashing Detergents.......

Oh, I am very, very disappointed with the manufacturers of many dishwashing detergents.  It USED to be that one could simply unscrew the top.  Now, many have put a protective plastic device that prevents it from being opened.  Firstly - of course I understand THEIR point.....they want to make money, and they want you to buy more detergent!!!

However, in addition to preventing customers from opening the top, adding water to use up the LAST DROPS of detergent.....it also prevents one from RINSING out the plastic bottle so that it can be recycled!  Recycling department won't take the bottle "as is" (with all that detergent residue) - they want it rinsed out.

So here is a case where going "green" is outweighed by a company's desire to make more money, and I notice it on more and more brands.
