In the never-ending feud between simple laundry detergents, Proctor and Gamble holds an almost insurmountable lead over the other competition. This begs the question: Why does it appear they are competing with themselves with the advent of newly-scented inspirations from both Gain and Tide respectively? Since they are both a product from the mega-conglomerate Proctor and Gamble, it almost appears foolish to go this route. However, in a no holds-barred contest between the two, one does a decent chore on some of the toughest stains that I could create, while the other only does mediocre. The results, using the liquid forms of these fairly expensive detergents, may even surprise you.

As the owner of several white t-shirts, and with maybe too much excess time on my hands, I decided to treat myself...as well as my two identical white shirts to some rich Breyer's chocolate ice cream. Then some grass and mud (I decided it would be best not to ingest these, but to simply add some to my once-white t-shirts). Lastly, I added some leftover Prego spaghetti sauce. What I had on my hands, and of course, all over my shirts, was a colorful mess. To avoid confusion during my experiment, I separated these three stains on different areas of the shirt to see which stains would be eradicated and which would survive the full-on assault of Tide and Gain.

It was time to put all of those laundry detergent commercials to the test. But this time, the "other leading brand" had the name Gain, for I believed Gain was a lesser product since it was slightly less expensive at Walgreens.
