Ellie Mae, that gracious lady from the deep south, obviously uses Tide and was nice enough to share this...

Dear Folks at Tide,

I am writing to say what an excellent product you have.

I've used Tide all of my married life, as my mom always told me Tide was the best. Now that I'm in my 50's, I find it even better.

In fact, about a month ago I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was and generally started to become a pain in the neck.

One thing led to another, and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new, white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative, and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer a suspect in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect!

I thank you once again for having such a great product. Well, gotta go; I have to write the Hefty Bag People
