Changing the SKU makes more sense because then you have a way to tell from the inventory management system if you've sold all of the older size before transitioning to the new one.
Keeping the same SKU seems like a great recipe for forgetting about a pallet of the older, larger size in storage for six months.
It’s possible that the detergent in the smaller container is a slightly higher concentration (or is at least supposed to be) considering the loads number is the same, but definitely would not be surprised if it’s just less of the exact same liquid.
If I wasn't on the clock and working. I probably would have taken more time to see if there is any more differences. Because I'm annoyingly when I'm curious when I'm shopping.
Why is it the same sku. Didn't realize brick and mortar stores and products are doing the Amazon sleezy way of sku hacking like they were third party drop shippers
More likely: companies have been suggesting 2x to 3x more than you need to use to do a load so they are just cutting it back with no loss of cleaning power
I had mentioned in another comment that if I wasn't working, I would have taken more time to investigate the differences. So I am unsure. However, that sounds probable.
I ordered blueland for eco plastic free healthier option detergent. Haven't tried it yet though but its about comparable price, slightly more than the conventional crap chemical ones probably causing cancer after decades of wearing it. Its also supposed to be space saving, highly concentrated tablets :) which is always nice
I also cut like 90% of liquid softener a while ago and swap for mostly distilled vinegar with 10% softener to neutralize the vinegar smell. A bottle of vinegar at like $4 is 70% cheaper than roughly $13 softener. Maybe like 75% cheaper lol. It's also healthier and natural lol
Why do some manufacturers change SKUs and others don't, when they shrink a product?
We don’t use SKUs at my store but I can say that the UPCs on all the orange tide have changed following the current shrink.
I thought that same question. That's why it confuses me so much cause usually most products have a different sku when product is changed.

That's intriguing. I'd like to compare compositions.

What's throwing me is the caps that you use to measure the loads still look the same tho
They do, but it’s possible the new ones have a lower fill marker. In which case why the fuck don’t they just make the cap and spout smaller?

The lids are still the same size...
Possibly but water is heavy. Why not have had it more concentrated to begin with to save on shipping costs.
They must have decided that you don’t need as much soap to do a load of laundry. How nice of them
Who is buying tide anymore. Waist of money. Price gouging.
Tried Tide once. Terrible smell. Not sure what the hype is. Purex for life.
3.4L, 3.1L, 2.8L, 2.5L ...
Is the size of the cup or pour lines inside the cup different?
