Aldi’s Magnum Washing Up Liquid

abandonded

Ever since Aldi’s Magnum washing up liquid beat Fairy Liquid to lift the Which Best Buy award a few years back, we haven’t used anything else. However, a few days ago when Mrs A complained about the product, I had a look at the bottle and found that instead of the Which Best Buy award, there was, in its place, a Good Housekeeping seal of approval. Went back to Aldis and found that the entire stock consisted of Good Housekeeping stamped bottles.
My question is simple. If Fairy Liquid goes half as far again as the next best seller, (Persia I presume), but is pipped by Magnum for the Best Buy award, why would Aldi stop selling this award winning product?

Funnily enough, February's Which? magazine has just re-run this test.

Fairy came out top, with 97%.

Aldi Magnum is still one of the 'best buys' - but only scored 81%. They reckoned it wasn't as good as Fairy on the grease removal test.

Interesting, but makes me wonder even more why Aldi would drop a Which Best Buy product particularly when the difference in price between Fairy and Magnum is so marked.

I'd like to know why they stopped the pomegranate flavour, that seemed to be the best.

They usually say it was not very popular, which translates to we have found a cheaper supplier and drop that flavour no one will notice.;)

I must admit I've never tried drinking any of them!
